Coffee, chocolates, and really good economic policy

Sean Shepard talks with Indianapolis’ own HoosierAccess.com

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – The local blog Hoosier Access (www.HoosierAccess.com) interviewed Sean Shepard over the weekend at the Southbend Chocolate Factory, as part of their monthly podcast. Shepard, one of the 7th District Congressional candidates for the special election (March 11) railed against out of control Federal spending that is now being financed by government borrowing from foreign nations like China.

Acknowledging massive overseas spending, relative to Al Qaeda’s goal of destroying our economy, “Our enemies don’t have to destroy us militarily. They don’t have to blow us up. They can defeat us economically.” Shepard suggested that we need a smarter, more humble approach to our foreign policy.

He called for a near-term removal of our forces from Iraq, more economical free-market health care solutions, making health care 100% tax free under the current system, overhaul of the tax code and an immediate securing of our borders.

Shepard then went on to question why Republicans still run on a platform of fiscal conservatism since they haven’t lived up to the hype and suggested that he represented true "change".

Sean Shepard is a life long resident of Indianapolis and local businessman. He is married with two children who attend private Christian school. Mr. Shepard has been active in local politics for several years, has worked with Americans for Fair Taxation and helped organize and coordinate several of the local property tax protests in 2007. Mr. Shepard's policy approaches support affordable healthcare, lower taxes, protection of civil liberties, border security, school choice and a strong national defense.

The Libertarian Party is the third largest political party in the United States, and is the only non-major party with ballot access in the state of Indiana. Libertarians believe in being SERVED by a small non-intrusive government that is financially responsible, administratively competent and socially tolerant.
