Exploring Mike Huckabee Policy Solutions

By Jana Serrano


Michael Dale Huckabee was born and raised in Arkansas, in what he calls a 'working class' family. A former Southern Baptist pastor, he was Lieutenant Governor and Governor for over a decade. He ran for president in 2008 and has entered the race again for 2016. Mike Huckabee policy solutions are fairly well-known, since he has been a radio and television talk show host, leaving only to mount his latest campaign.

A lot can be understood by looking at his record as Governor of Arkansas. His website lists impressive accomplishments, like balancing the state budget and leaving office with the books showing a record surplus. He cut taxes across the board while doing so, which makes it even more worthy of accolades.

Arkansan families emerged from the Huckabee years with higher incomes, while the number of welfare recipients declined by almost 50%. This was certainly good news for taxpayers in the Natural State (Arkansas's latest nickname). He is known to have initially endorsed the Common Core, but he also showed himself a strong supporter of homeschooling and of charter schools.

He has always championed the sanctity of life and as Governor outlawed partial birth abortion. He hopes to see the repeal of 'Roe vs. Wade'. He is a believer in traditional marriage as an institution created by God and as the basis for a strong society. He was tough on crime, and homicides in the state showed a significant decline during his term in office.

His record reassures many voters as to his competence to assume the country's highest office. Now, he is building and explaining his presidential platform. People who fear that news reports are incomplete and/or slanted should access the complete transcripts of his recent speeches and interviews.

Huckabee believes that science on man-made climate change is 'not settled' enough to justify a war on carbon. He is a strong believer in US energy independence and supports both traditional and 'green' energy solutions. He believes that abortion is wrong and that decisions on this controversial subject should be made at the state level. He supports only adult stem cell research and treatment.

He advocates repeal and replacement of Obamacare. He opposes gun control. He opposes amnesty and advocate secure borders. He stands with Israel and supports a unified Jerusalem as that nation's capital. He wants to abolish the IRS and establish a 'Fair Tax' that spreads the burden over the whole of society. He wants to 'fix' the VA and hold government bureaucrats accountable for failures and corruption. He believes that America should lead the free world and have a strong military.

Voters need to pay attention during the campaign process, since the issues are complex and no one wants a candidate who wavers over important points in order to please his voter base. More and more people believe that today is a time for a leader, not a politician. And many say that the country cannot rely on Congress but need a strong, principled president.
