He's on record calling for a bill to identify, provide incentives and give access to lower cost provider options.

On Social Security: Don't touch Social Security funds

"Social Security was not meant to be an additional revenue for government, but a foundation for our citizen's retirement" said Crim in opposing placing Social Security benefits on the chopping block in fiscal negotiations. "I reject cuts in social security as a way to fix the budget crisis because the social security retirement trust fund is made up of the contributions of our citizens for their own future retirement."

On Tax Reform: Lower tax rates; close loopholes

Crim proposes maintaining or lowering tax rates for the typical Tennessean, American and Small Business owner, while eliminating tax loopholes which currently permit many of the largest and richest billionaire corporations to pay little or no taxes. This revision in corporate tax policy will result in new revenues, which are fair, and help us mitigate future "fiscal cliff" and budgetary crises in America.

On War & Peace: Oppose President Obama's disastrous Iran Deal

Serving our nation requires a dedication to uphold the Constitution and protect the American People for whom it was adopted. When the time came to address the provisions of The Constitution at the Tea Party Forum in Paris, TN Larry Crim for U.S. Senate was present. Corker was absent. When it came time to invoke the Treaty Clause of the Constitution, Corker was absent to uphold the Constitution, but present to enable President Obama's Iran Deal. Larry Crim spoke out in 2015 that Corker had undermined the Treaty Clause and bargained away the power of the Senate under The Constitution.

In 2016 Larry Crim spoke against Corker 's bid to be considered for Secretary of State because Corker, the Enabler-In-Chief of the Iran Deal--who is fighting to continue it--is not a match for President Trump who rightfully called it a "disaster" and vowed to "dismantle the disastrous Iran Deal".
