Perry Johnson in Survey of 2024 Presidential campaign websites

On Budget & Economy: Cut two cents off of every dollar in discretionary spending

Perry Johnson has a plan to save America. The Two-Cents Plan will cut two cents off of every dollar in federal discretionary spending to end inflation and solve the debt crisis. It's simple. It's reasonable. It can be done. Perry will get it done. Perry is so confident in his plan, that he wants to make sure you can read all about it.

On Crime: I will direct the Attorney General to eliminate the FBI

We are going to replace the DOJ's culture of corruption with a culture of accountability and integrity back into government. I will direct the Attorney General to eliminate the FBI in its entirety. We have too many federal agents to begin and far too much corruption in the investigatory practices.The culture and practices of the FBI are too broken to be fixed.

On Drugs: Investigate, arrest and prosecute high level dealers

I would immediately add equipment and manpower at the border to stop the flow of fentanyl into the country. Drugs coming out of China are killing Americans and I will be unafraid to stand up to China as President. I would also task federal law enforcement agencies to stop at nothing to investigate, arrest and prosecute high level dealers and drug lords operating within the United States. They are killing mothers, fathers, sons and daughters on a daily basis. Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website PerryJohnson.com Jun 26, 2023

On Education: Give parents absolute control over children's education

If National Defense is the one thing that the federal government can and must do for us, Education may be its polar opposite--it has ALWAYS done better locally. I propose ending the Department of Education and getting the money back to the schools instead of to the bureaucrats. Money should follow students so parents have absolute control over who is educating their children. No child should be stuck in a failing or activist school.

On Energy & Oil: Immediate end to fossil fuels is unrealistic and unwise

Climate extremists wish to see us immediately end our dependence on fossil fuels, but this is unrealistic and unwise. I would repeal Biden's climate extremist executive orders while working with lawmakers and industry leaders to ensure we are on the forefront of the rapidly evolving renewable resource industry. I would finish the keystone pipeline to ensure a better domestic supply. I would also eliminate the backlog and red tape for mining, shale production, and natural gas export facilities.

On Homeland Security: Strengthen our defense by cutting waste & improving audits

National Defense should not have an unlimited credit line or a blank check. Did you know that the Pentagon has failed five audits in a row and that it cannot account for more than 30 percent of its spending? I will strengthen our defense by cutting waste, improving our audits and controls and streamlining our processes so we can do more with 98 percent of the defense budget than we ever did before with 100 percent.

On Immigration: My first priority as President will be building the wall

I admire many of Trump's policies, but the reality is that he never built the wall. My first priority as President will be building the wall. My border policy will have 3 main focuses:

Tight and non-porous border security
Strict policies to cease and desist illegal immigration, with a zero-tolerance policy toward those who immigrated illegally

Create an easier pathway to citizenship for vetted immigrants (based on economic, social, and cultural needs of our nation at a given time) Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website PerryJohnson.com Jun 26, 2023

On Principles & Values: Zero-tolerance for anti-Christian investigatory practices

Upon taking office I will implement a zero-tolerance policy for religious discrimination and anti-Christian investigatory practices. Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website PerryJohnson.com Jun 26, 2023

On Principles & Values: We live in the greatest country the world has ever known

We live in the greatest country the world has ever known. And I want to keep it that way! Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website PerryJohnson.com Jun 26, 2023

On Social Security: Stabilize program by incentivizing work and immigration

We must start NOW to stabilize these programs by incentivizing work and immigration, and by recognizing the longevity of our younger population.When we started the programs, once you reached 65, you could expect to live another 13 years on average. That number is now 22 years. That's a lot more social security to pay out, and health care bills to cover for Medicare. Now, factor in the massive increase in the cost of healthcare, and you can see why the system can't continue as is. Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website PerryJohnson.com Jun 26, 2023

On Tax Reform: Reduce taxes, cut tax brackets, cut top rate to 28%

I want to reduce taxes, simplify the system, and fix this mess. We need to cut rates across the board, eliminate special deductions, and reduce the number of tax brackets. I will reduce the current tax brackets from seven to two. Currently Americans pay at the rates of 37, 35, 32, 24, 22, 12 and 10 percent. I propose two new brackets of 28 and 15 percent. People at all income levels will benefit and be incentivized to work more. Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website PerryJohnson.com Jun 26, 2023

On Budget & Economy: Out of control government spending gave us high inflation

For an economy to work properly, we need inflation at a manageable, low level. The ideal mark should be around 2%. But in the fall of 2022, we had reached 8%, the highest rate in over 40 years. Out of control spending on massive "Covid relief" programs, foreign interventions and runaway social programs put us in this situation. We had to borrow and borrow and borrow. The federal reserve had to rev up the printing press to keep us afloat. But you can't get away with that forever. Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website PerryJohnson.com Aug 13, 2023

On Environment: Don't need new, draconian regulations that remove incentives

With our natural resources, we should be energy independent and a massive exporter of energy, but the government gets in the way. We must work WITH industry rather than dictating to them and stifling their innovation. Capitalism has always produced the best innovations. Our air and water are the cleanest they have ever been. We do not need new, draconian regulations that will remove the incentive to produce and innovate. Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website PerryJohnson.com Aug 13, 2023
