Joe Kennedy III on Homeland Security |
A: Yes.
Q: Do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket?
A: Yes.
Q: Do you support reducing Medicaid spending?
A: No.
Q: Do you support reducing Medicare spending?
A: No.
Q: Is balancing the budget a legislative priority?
A: Yes. I believe we need a responsible, bipartisan plan that balances spending cuts and revenue increases, to bring our debt and deficit under control, get people back to work, and ensure sustainable economic competitiveness. I support broad tax reform, including a broadening of the tax base through elimination of special deductions and loopholes and simplification across the board. I also support responsible reductions in military spending that do not compromise our national security or the safety of our troops.
