Paul Chehade 2016 - Trade Issues:

In  evaluating the effectiveness of our national trade policy, a look at  our trade surpluses, or rather, deficits, provides a most telling  answer. Our deficits for the past 16 years have crossed the six  billion dollar mark, and the deficit with China alone accounted for  almost half of it, at 270 billion. As our economists struggle to  explain these staggering numbers, China has quietly accumulated in  excess of two trillion dollars worth of foreign exchange reserves  during the same period.

This  imbalances of our trade deficit, along with the inherent  disadvantages that our manufacturers and industries face owing to our  labor and environmental policies, that is not being asked of their  foreign competitors, are just some of the more pertinent issues that  needs to be tackled by our presidential candidates before we even  move to issues involving North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)  and the World Trade Organization (WTO).

• I think that globalization is here and if we don’t take advantage of trade opportunities we’ll pay a price.

• I believe that business leaders, not diplomats, should negotiate trade agreements for the US.

• I would use tough negotiations instead of protectionism.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Taxes:

As  the debate over the national tax policy begins to take center stage  yet again, observers have noted that there will be more cases of  lawmakers breaking ranks within their own party over the issue in the  coming months.

We  look forward to more bipartisan compromises in future, as we have  seen over the years how ideological differences have seen  consistently landed the country with the second or third best tax  solutions, instead of the most worthy ones.

• I think taxes are a necessary evil if people want services such as roads, libraries, local and federal government protection and other amenities.

• I believe that the tax code should be simplified. Is seriously in need of overhaul for the sake of the economy.

• High property taxes discourage people from improving their property.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Stem Cell Research:

Stem cell research has seen its  potential for progress being curtailed drastically by a myriad of  political, religious and ethical issues – and there is even  opposition from within the medical community itself – which led to  the banning of embryonic stem cell research by former President Bush,  which was later revoked by President Obama in 2009.

Proclaimed  as possessing the potential to provide the cure for deadly diseases  such as cancer and spinal cord injuries, the concept revolves around  the idea that infusion of stem cells into the body of victims will  compel the regeneration of damaged cells.

The  controversy over this technology is centered on origin of the stem  cells, as the cells are most easily harvested from human fetus. The  fear is that people may begin to grow fetuses for the express reason  of harvesting the stem cells, and in the process, murdering the  technically human fetus.

• I think that research on stem cells, both fetal and adult, should be unrestricted.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Social Security:

A  brainchild of the late German Chancellor, Otto von Bismark in the  late 19th  century, calls to privatize Social Security have been gaining  strength in recent years, mainly by conservatives and Republicans,  painting a picture of the lack of sustainability of the program  without continuous tax increase and benefits reduction, owing to the  declining birth rates of the country, which is crucial in the  pay-as-you-go model of the program.

This  is countered by the liberals and democrats, citing Paul Krugman, our  economic Nobel Laureate, who maintains that an additional revenue  injection of 0.54% of the national GDP, which is less than 3% of our  annual Federal spending, is sufficient to cope with any potential  systemic decline in the number of contributors and maintain a healthy  long term status of the program that is currently aiding over 53  million Americans every month.

• I think that the Social Security program has been looted by unethical politicians.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Same Sex Issues:

Our  Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 that prohibits  giving recognition to same sex marriages. The decision received  widespread approval among American citizens at the time, with many  citing morality and religion as the primary consideration behind  their decision. Fast forward almost 15 years later, and a completely  different picture emerges.

• I believe there is no reason to discriminate against anyone because of their sexual orientation.  However,  I believe it best  to allow the general population, to decide on the issue of same sex marriage, by casting their individual votes, as has already been done in several states, rather than to rely on the personal decision or a candidate for the Presidency of the United States. 

• So far, only five (5) states (Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont) allows the registration of same sex marriage.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Puerto Rico:

The approved law 600 (P.L. 81-600) by the United States Congress granted the people of Puerto Rico the authority to develop their own State Constitution, like other states, giving them control of their internal governmental activities. Nevertheless, this law has left intact several of the articles under the Jones Law and the Foraker Law, as well as the Paris Treaty (1898). After the Constituent Assembly writes the Constitution, the people ratifies it by means of a referendum. The United States Congress, following the procedure required by the Federal Relations law, approved the Constitution which went into effect on July 25, 1952. During this year, the political community named Commonwealth was established.

It is important to clarify that, even though the Federal Congress has granted the people of Puerto Rico the power to create their local Constitution, it has not revoked the territorial status of the island of Puerto Rico, being until today subject to the plenary powers of Congress.

The republican format of the government mimics the United States Constitution. A governor is in charge of the executive branch, while the two legislative chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives comprise the legislative branch. The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico is the last appellate court in the majority of the judicial cases.

Puerto Rico maintains its territorial status within the U.S. Constitution. The U. S. Supreme Court has indicated that Puerto Rico belongs to, but it is not part of the United States.  Therefore, Puerto Rico was constituted as a territory of the United States when the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico was created.

The debate regarding the political status of Puerto Rico has been continuous in many local spheres, federal (United States) and international (United Nations). In 2007, a working committee from the White House concluded that Puerto Rico continues to be subject to the authority of the U. S. Congress under the territorial clause.

The new administration of President Obama has ratified in its more recent report, that Puerto Rico continues to be subject to the authority of the Federal Congress. Furthermore, it mentions that the present status does not provide any possibilities for the development of power due to the legal structure of the Federal Constitution, thus reaffirming that one of the options to decolonize is to become independent. The Popular Democratic Party, which founded the commonwealth, reiterates that in 1952 there was a pact between Puerto Rico and the United States that conferred Puerto Rico an autonomous government and excluded it from the list of colonies of the United Nations. The UN Decolonization Committee adopted in October 2008, as an humanitarian effort, a resolution presented by Cuba that ratifies the right of the people of Puerto Rico to free will and independence and requests the United States to accelerate the process in order for the Puerto Ricans to exercise that right.

Based on the history of Puerto Rico and having observed the lack of Federal union to work out certain subjects of common interest, I firmly believe in dialog, far beyond the dialog already accomplished by other Presidents and/or candidates with the people of Puerto Rico. Their feelings, their thoughts and wishes should be heard by the American government. It is not enough to send thousands of young men born in the island as soldiers to every American war. A community is more and should be more than that. Their votes should be heard when Washington is making decisions regarding matters that equally affect a citizen of New York as well as a citizen of Puerto Rico such as health, education, governmental aid, military deployment to name a few of the issues that the people of Puerto Rico presently endures.

I wish for the people of Puerto Rico to be able to take the reigns of their destiny. I wish for them to be able to make decisions in the matters that involve them directly. It is important to be aware of their needs first hand before making decisions that could be harming to their people. I will personally pay attention to the requests of the Puerto Rican people. The American dream has not being realized together and I am not going to be the one turning my back to such noble people. My heart is with you and your history and my government will follow suit.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Prescription Drugs:

The  National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) contends that up to 20%  Americans have illicitly consumed prescription drugs in their  lifetime. Even more disturbing, NIDA’s Monitoring The Future survey  discovered that over 9% of 12th-graders have consumed Vicodin without  a valid prescription in the past year alone!.

The  abuse of prescription drugs is a major source of concern among the  medical community, as the issue has consistently been overlooked by  the authorities in favor of the more high profile psychoactive drugs  such as cocaine, heroin and their derivatives. This is despite the  fact that abuse of prescription drugs stands just behind marijuana as  the most reported cases of substance abuse in North America. The easy  availability of prescription drugs means that the problem is not one  that is going away anytime soon, and we look forward to how our  candidates intends to tackle the issue.

• I believe that prescription drugs should be supplied if people can’t afford them.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Poverty:

Poverty  conveys the impression of individuals and families struggling to  afford basic sustenance, shelter and education. Nothing that we  should be concerned about then, since our status as the richest  country in the world precludes the possibility of poverty existing in  our society. Right? No. Really.

Based  on the latest CPS ASEC survey, the United States Census Bureau has  estimated that the official American poverty rate stands at an  incredible 14.3%, the highest since the survey begun 51 years ago.  There are 43.6 million Americans that live below the poverty line. In  other words, one in seven Americans are unable to properly feed,  cloth, shelter and educate themselves and their families.

These  disturbing numbers are not a one off, in case anyone is wondering.  The numbers have been steadily declining for years, and the worst  part is, the poverty rate among children under the age of 18 is  20.7%. That’s one in five of our kids, the very same ones who will  inherit the country.

• I think that education is the key to the opportunity to escape poverty.

• I think poverty means malnutrition, poor grades, poor education and has long term consequences.  Improving education is essential to defeating poverty.

• I believe that communities should work together instead of depending on public assistance.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Palestinian Issue:

The suffering of Palestinians and Israelis is a serious problem that must deal with sensitivity and justice and give an end to this, so that both peoples can live together in peace and security as a brother country.

• The Israelis must acknowledge that the right of Israel to exist can not be denied, neither can the Palestine.

• Israelis and Palestinians must make concessions to allow a Palestinian state.

• The only solution to resolve the decades-long conflict is the creation of two states, where Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and security.

• For both parties, that means they must abandon violence. Resistance through violence does not succeed.

• My position is that it must abide by each and every one of the United Nations resolutions.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - North Korea:

Despite  the numerous incentives that the American administration have offered  Pyongyang as an inducement over the years, they have remained  obdurately unyielding in their desire to retain their nuclear  arsenal. North Korea reiterated their belief that their nuclear  arsenal is the only security guarantee they have against the evil  partnership of the Americans and their South Korean brethrens.

It  bears reminding that North Korea is possibly one of the poorest  nations on earth, and with their failed economy, widespread chronic  food shortage and amidst reports of unrest among the populace, Kim’s  stance is indicative of the siege and persecuted mentality he is said  to possess.

However,  similar to Cuba, with the impending withdrawal of the Great Leader,  Kim Jong Ill, from the frontlines owing to health concerns, the is a  surge of optimism in the air among the participants of the Six-Party  talks and there is genuine hope that a resolution to this sixty year  conflict can be resolved.

• I would stop all North Korean missile launches, by force if necessary.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - National Security:

• I realized that some changes had to be made in order to prevent terrorists from instigating any more tragedies on American soil.

• Homeland Security should be funded selectively according to which targets have the most danger quotient.

• The National security of the United States of America is being threatened from many different sources today, including but not limited to these 5 sources:

1) The National debt.
2) Illegal immigration.
3) Terrorism from within our borders.
4) Terrorism from outside our borders.
5) Unprotected borders and the drug cartels.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Minimum Wage:

Maintaining a  capitalistic, supply and demand system to shape the national wage  structure has always been the mantra of business owners here since  the first call for a national minimum wage appeared in the 1930's.  There is a prevalent argument that a minimum wage system is a symbol  of a welfare state or socialism, and it impedes on the operational  efficiency of businesses. In addition, there is a fear that a high  across the board increase of wages will result in downsizing, as  businesses struggles to maintain their bottom line

Of course, on  the flip side, advocates of the national minimum wage points out that  too often businesses hide behind the profitability argument, ignoring  the fact that people must be fairly compensated for their  contributions to a company, and not expected to sacrifice for large  enterprises. Asking workers to accept lower wages is akin to asking  the average worker to bear the burden of subsidizing the running  costs of big businesses. There is also the fear that businesses often  engage in a cartel like behavior to set an 'appropriate'; wage  structure, thus denying market forces from determining the correct  wage level. It is also worth noting that the last national minimum  wage increase was back in 1997, during the Clinton administration.

• The minimum wage is too low but that’s not new to anyone. Unfortunately it’s called minimum for a reason. It’s the least amount they are allowed to pay you. It really should be more.

• Does not favor a proposed constitutional amendment that would increase the minimum wage for inflation annually.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Marijuana:

As  the 74 year old prohibition against marijuana enter its last leg, a  legal marijuana industry suddenly doesn’t appear to be a pipe dream  any longer. In fact, in a referendum held last November, California  nearly became the first state to break the status quo and legalize  marijuana. Advocates are already predicting the prospect of a domino  effect among the other states in the near future.

While  medical marijuana has been legal in fourteen states in the United  States for as back as two decades, it is a hugely restrictive process  and highlights complicated jurisdictional processes it is currently  beholden to.
       
Opponents  have expressed their concerns over the anticipated effects resulting  from such a move – socially, economically and legally – and the  potential for it to become a gateway drug. Advocates however points  at the successful national drug policy of the Netherlands, where  legalization of marijuana has seen crime rates plummet and the low  levels of drug related crimes, coupled with the fact that marijuana  has never killed anyone through direct consumption.

• I think that legalizing marijuana would increase drug problems and crime.

• I believe that strong anti-drug laws are needed.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Latin America:

The United States has always had a special conception of its relationship with the nations of Latin America.

In the Cold War era the U.S. establishment feared socialism and in some cases overthrew or undermined democratically elected governments perceived at the time as becoming left-wing or unfriendly to U.S. interests. Examples include the 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état, the 1973 Chilean coup d'état and the support of the Nicaraguan Contras. The '70s and '80s saw a shift of power towards corporations, and a polarization of the political election systems of many of the Latin American nations. Recently, several left-wing parties have gained power through elections and have not been attacked. In particular Venezuela has been critical of U.S. foreign policy. Nicaragua, Bolivia, and Ecuador currently have governments sometimes seen as aligned with Venezuela. Left-wing governments in nations such as Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay are more centrist. The right-wing governments in Chile, Peru, and Colombia have closer relations with the U.S.

• I think we should have better relationship with Latin American Countries  to work together for prosperity of our  future. We must work together regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Israel:

The  decades of diplomatic initiatives by the United States, also the principal ally of the Jewish state, for a peaceful resolution for the conflict has continued to be unsuccessful, although analysts have pointed out the grudging, although gradual acceptance among the Arab nations of Israel’s right to exist, which stands in stark contrast  to the earlier pledges of annihilating the Jewish nation.

As  the Israelis continue to trumpet its ancestral and biblical rights for this land, the Palestinians are equally vociferous in their claim, backed by legal and historical precedents.

• I believe that Israel has every right to exist and I support it without reservation.

• I think peace talks can’t start until everyone puts down their arms and the international community needs to insist on this.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Iraq:

Our  successful, if not a little questionable and not to mention widely  perceived to be illegal, toppling of Saddam Hussein and liberation of  Iraq in 2003 were followed by a spectacularly unsuccessful, and much  more questionable, attempt at finding Weapons of Mass Destruction in  Iraq. Following the euphoric celebrations of freeing a country from  an oppressive dictatorship, more than seven years later, we are still  deeply mired in Iraq.

With  over 650 billion spent since then, our 50,000 remaining troops there  is still massively taxing our ailing economy, and despite several  assurances, withdrawal of our forces from there is still not a  feasible option, as the young democracy of Iraq is still dependent on  us to maintain a semblance of order in the country. A sudden  departure by our troops will create a vacuum that will quickly be  filled with militias and more worryingly, the Al-Qaeda. An exit  strategy is needed badly, and the candidate with a credible  withdrawal plan can expect to score some massive plus points with the  American public.

• Once the region is under control and the government is stable a withdrawal should begin.

• If we are to grow as a race then we need to put aside these petty differences and grow up. There is more to this world then you alone. You need to think as a race not as a person. That’s race as in Human Race. The race is better off working together, even if the people don't like each other. It’s called maintaining the peace. We can only be peaceful world if we work together at it, not separately.

• My question is, why are we fighting their war?

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Immigration:

It’s  a simple question really. Do we continue with the immigration  friendly policy that has been the hallmark of our history and the  secret behind our astonishing success as a nation, or, do we stop in  favor of protecting our citizens from a multitude of threats, ranging  from economic to theology?

The  question has became an even bigger issue in the aftermath of the 9/11  attacks, where the 2002 Homeland Security Act decreed that the United  States Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) be placed under  the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security, who in turn,  included immigration under its wide ranging security policy. In an  immediate turn of events, the INS was broken up into two separate  entities, the Bureau  of Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Bureau of  Immigration and Customs Enforcement (BICE), responsible for inbound  and outbound travel respectively.

USCIS  and BICE, along with their political masters in Washington, walks a  fine line between the reality of economic interdependence,  sociological ethics and security considerations, as we all watch with  bated breath from the sidelines while our new national identity is  forged in plain view to the rest of the world.

• I believe that every nation must have a secure border but we must also recognize that we do need immigrants.

• I think that amnesty should be given to those illegal immigrants already in the country.

• There should be quick and comprehensive immigration reform to enable a faster, simpler path to citizenship.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Health Care:

At  its very essence, a republican believes that the rights of an  individual is paramount to the well being of a nation, so long as it  doesn’t trampled on the rights of another individual, whereas a  democrat believes that the collective welfare of the society is the  most crucial aspect of a country, and is prepared to forfeit the  individual for the sake of the country.

Therein  lies the crux of the controversy behind the Health Care Reform Bill  which was signed by President Barack Obama on March 23rd, 2010. While  the Democrats aims to expand the coverage of the plans to as many  Americans as possible, the Republicans are aghast at the socialistic  nature of the bill, where redistribution of costs is seen as  ultimately punishing the privileged.

• I would provide more federal funding for health and nutrition education.

• The medical system requires amend and reformed.

• Health care is about getting help when you need it. There has to be a way to help everyone without ripping off half the population. We just have to find it and not have it shoved down our throats. It isn’t something that can be decided in a month or a year, it will take time.

• Forcing someone to get insurance or fining them if they don't is just wrong. Its beyond wrong really. In a perfect world we wouldn’t need insurance though because people would help you because they can. But then we are nowhere near a perfect world.

• You can’t force people to go to the doctor or make them take medication, goes back to the whole personal choice and civil liberties.

• It’s not right to want to charge the healthy more money.

God Bless America.

Paul Chehade 2016 - Gun Control:

Supporters  of gun control believe that the National  Firearms Act of 1934 and the Gun Control Act of 1968 are ineffective  in curbing the rampant proliferation and misuse of firearms in  society. More to the point, the easy access of weapons to high-risk  individuals, youths and criminals puts the safety of the law-abiding  segments of the population under unnecessary and unfair risks of  personal harm. They advocate the tightening of regulation in firearms  procurement, especially in the face of rising crime rates. The recent  spate of mass killings in country have seen increased calls for more  stringent regulations in the sales and distribution of firearms.  Statistics from the Center For Disease Control have shown a  disturbing increase in firearms related deaths to about 30,000  annually, and it shows no signs of abating.

The  Second Amendment.

A  well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free  State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be  infringed.”

Gun  control opposition meanwhile points to their right to bear arms, as  enshrined in the Second Amendment, and any attempts to deny them this  infringes upon their constitutional right as citizens. Their position  was further reinforced by a High Court ruling in 2008, which asserts  the rights of private citizens to bear arms. Furthermore, the  firearms industry lobbyist claims that there is no correlation  between guns and increased rates in crimes and fatalities, citing the  media, drugs and the socioeconomic factors as a more likely cause.  The National Rifle Association (NRA) also argues that increased  regulations would potentially leave more families defenseless against  dangerous elements of the society, endangering them further.

• I support enforcing gun laws at the time of sale with background checks and educated vendors.

• I would confiscate illegally owned guns and guns that are illegal for civilians to own.

• I believe that assault weapons should be banned, “who needs them except criminals and police?”

God Bless America.
