The group of Republican primary contenders for the 2016 race is larger than usual. Mike Huckabee, former Governor of Arkansas is one of those candidates. At present, his rank in the polling is not as high as some of the other candidates, However, as governor between 1996 and 2007, he has proved that he can accomplish the major duties of governing. His record is substantial, with major impact on state health care, road systems, education and tax reduction. He has laid out Mike Huckabee policy solutions which he is supporting in his quest to become the United States President. Here is information on some of the major issues.

Care of American veterans is one of the highest priority items for a Huckabee presidency. He will fix the Dept. Of Veterans Affairs. Bureaucrats and officials at the VA facilities will be held accountable for the long-standing crisis in vets care. Disability claims will be dealt with, as will the inexcusable wait times. The Governor plans to supply vets with help in the form of careers, suicide prevention and mental health assistance. As participating members of society, vets will have a healthier outlook and the country will be the better for their inclusion.

The Arkansas Governor has stated that he would abolish the current United States Tax Code and replace it with a "Fair Tax". Currently the Tax Code has over 75,000 pages and requires thousands of bureaucrats to administer it. In addition, there are attorneys who fight court cases over the regulations and private tax-preparation businesses who are involved in the operation of the Internal Revenue Service. Huckabee would get rid of the I. R. S. Completely. By replacing it with the Fair Tax, the tax base of the country would be broadened, the cost of administration would be dramatically reduced. Medicare and Social Security would be protected from raids on the funds.

On the subject of the 2nd Amendment, the candidate has views which are quite open and strong. He views the Amendment as a best defense against governmental tyranny. The governor was the second governor to obtain a license to carry a concealed handgun. He is proud to be a lifelong member of the NRA. Under his administration there would be no new gun control mandates, regulations, restrictions or laws.

The Governor is emphatic about his plans for Obamacare. He plans to repeal the legislation and replace it with health care which addresses the basic health problems which Americans face. He calls Obamacare a $2.2 trillion disaster which channels millions of individuals into a system which is already broken and out-of-control financially. He is opposed to the theft of $700 billion which was taken from the Medicare system.

Other policy issues which have been spelled out by the candidate include rejection of existing executive order from Obama, which are unconstitutional. The border would be secured and amnesty is opposed. The governor says that the country must return to a state of adherence to laws.

Huckabee supports Israel and also locally based education policies. He is in favor of reining in governmental spending.
