Issues
Boosting Innovation & Economic Opportunity
From the airplane to the internet, America has thrived due to free market principles, innovators, and entrepreneurialism. Yet, Washington politicians and bureaucrats continue to pass laws, promulgate rules, and impose regulations that burden America’s innovators, small businesses, and consumers and stimy economic opportunity. To lead in this new century, the Coalition for American Excellence believes we need to keep taxes low, cut red-tape and support policies that embolden a new generation of American innovators.
Working Towards a Balanced Budget
According to projections by the Congressional Budget Office, the federal deficit totals $1.4 trillion in 2023 and averages $2.0 trillion per year from 2024 to 2033. America’s national debt is over $31 trillion. This is unsustainable, will undermine future economic prosperity and threaten our national security. The Coalition for American Excellence believes America needs to bend the curve back towards a balanced budget and fiscal responsibility.
Ensuring American Energy Independence
America has the energy resources here to be energy independent. Yet, liberals undermine America’s energy abundance by attacking American energy producers with more regulation and laws. The Coalition for American Excellence believes America should be fueled by an all-of-the-above energy strategy that harnesses all of America’s energy resources, including oil, natural gas, solar, wind, hydro and new technologies that will power our future.
Strengthening Our National Defense
The men and women of our armed forces, intelligence agencies and homeland security deserve the respect, support, equipment, technology, and weaponry to take the fight to our enemies abroad. The Coalition for American Excellence believes the world is safer when America is strong.
Securing America’s Border
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, it is estimated that over 11 million illegal immigrants were in the United States in January of 2022. The problem has only gotten worse with weak border policies and the federal government’s failure to meet the needs of our brave men and women in U.S. Border Patrol. The Coalition for American Excellence believes it is time to secure the southern border with technology, manpower and physical barriers.
Reducing Crime
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, in 2021, there were 16.5 violent crimes for every 1,000 Americans ages 12 and older. Yet, liberals are pushing to weaken laws that penalize criminals and defund our police. The Coalition for American Excellence believes America’s law enforcement deserves our support, more funding, and the tools to track down and lock-up criminals threatening the safety of our communities and families.
