Ryan Binkley in Survey of 2024 Presidential campaign websites
On Abortion:
I was thankful when the court overturned Roe v. Wade
I'm proudly pro-life, and I believe that every life matters. I was thankful when the court overturned Roe v. Wade because I believe in the worth and value of every human life. However, when we talk about being pro-life, the children in foster care are
often left out of the conversation. Being pro-life means recognizing that every life matters and has a God-given purpose.

On Budget & Economy:
Two percent cut in nondefense discretionary spending
What we need to do is cut the things that don't work and invest in the things that do work. We need to be honest about the tough choices which need to be made, however. Yes, that means reducing discretionary spending, but it also means entitlement
reform. First, starting with nondefense discretionary spending, we need a two percent cut across the board. Our fiscal house is in disarray. We are not in a position to be paying for everything we want, instead we must focus on what we need.
I will pursue a Balanced Budget Amendment. Already, 46 states have some type of balanced budget requirement in place; 37 are in the State constitution. Even in the four states without formal balanced budget requirements have some sort of debt
restriction and other provisions to effectively restrict their ability to run a deficit. My package of budget process reforms will bring accountability--and fiscal responsibility--back to the federal budget process.

On Energy & Oil:
We must adopt a national "All Of The Above" energy strategy
God granted us this rich and bountiful land that already has everything we require to meet our energy needs. By investing in homegrown and produced energy, we will create family-supporting jobs, reduce energy costs for working
Americans, and break the stranglehold that nations like Russia have on the world's economy. To do this, we must adopt a national "All Of The Above" energy strategy that includes oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear power, biofuels, and emerging technologies.

On Foreign Policy:
Quick to aid allies, willing to extend hand of diplomacy
Russia's illegal war against Ukraine, China's increasingly aggressive imperialism, and the continued provocations from North Korea demonstrate the fragile state of our national security.The way to freedom is an
America that is proud and secure in its place in the world, unflinching in the face of tyranny, slow to anger, quick to aid its allies, but always willing to extend the hand of diplomacy to anyone who will take it in good faith.

On Health Care:
Obamacare has ballooned Medicaid costs; it doesn't work
I will freeze Medicare and Medicaid spending, and then end the monopolies on insurance exchanges, health care providers, and Big Pharma. As I said, we need to cut the things that don't work. One example is Obamacare. That program, through its
regulations and subsidies, has ballooned Medicaid costs and provided benefits to people that Medicaid was never intended to cover. For all the billions spent, coverage is now more expensive, and health care choices have decreased.

On Homeland Security:
Our focus should be on reinvigorating our military
Our focus should be on reinvigorating our military. Our citizens need and want to feel safe. We need to build a formidable military, where strength will be our most effective deterrent. By bolstering recruitment efforts,
reemphasizing military might and toughness, and continuing to invest in the development of state-of-the-art equipment and weapons, we will once again have a military that can effectively keep our adversaries in check.

On Immigration:
Opportunity to obtain legal status if they meet requirements
My plan deploys physical barriers, tactical infrastructure, technology, and personnel along the border where it is most effective. The plan provides Dreamers, including DACA recipients, and certain Temporary Protected Status
(TPS) holders with an opportunity to adjust to lawful status. It also establishes the Dignity Program, which provides undocumented immigrants with an opportunity to obtain legal status if they meet certain requirements.

On Principles & Values:
Strive to create a culture that honors God in all that we do
Ryan and his wife, Ellie, are founders of Create Church, a multiethnic, multigenerational church in Richardson, Texas. As lead pastor, his deep passion is to see church members of all walks of life discover and live out their purpose. At Generational
Group [where Ryan is the CEO], Ryan views business as more than just a means to financial success. It's a way to serve employees and the community. "We strive to create a culture that respects one another and one that honors God in all that we do."
The problems we face, and the blame we lay, can all be rectified if we look to God, find the good in our fellow Americans, and resolve to trust each other one more time.
I think we can all agree that we will not always agree. But what we can do is focus on those things that bring us together instead of those that tear us apart. That's the way to freedom.

On Social Security:
Peg Social Security to growth in GDP over next seven years
We must save Social Security. Social Security is projected to be insolvent by 2033. If that happens, full benefits cannot be paid when they are due--it is estimated that will be a 20 percent cut. Politicians have been irresponsibly ignoring this
issue for decades, but it can be ignored no longer. I won't ignore it. I will peg Social Security to the growth in GDP over the next seven years; growth will be capped at two percent and in no instance will spending drop below zero.

On Tax Reform:
We need a flatter, fairer tax system to foster growth
We need a flatter, fairer tax system to foster growth in the economy and allow taxpayers the opportunity to save and invest for the future. I will reform the tax code like Ronald Reagan did. Be assured that a lack of revenue for the federal government
is not the problem; too much spending is. Tax revenue to the federal government is more than 18 percent of the GDP; the problem lies in the fact that federal spending is more than 24 percent of the GDP.
