From RP Staff:
*Senator Cruz will be joining us for a live Q&A on Friday, 2/26 at 1:00pm EST. Post your questions below in advance of the Q&A. Questions with the most up votes will be answered first. Please be upfront and to the point with your questions. RP Staff will be monitoring this discussion.*
From Senator Ted Cruz:
America now faces a momentous decision. Almost a decade of irresponsible defense cuts has slashed the number of combat personnel, seriously degraded their combat readiness, and shrunk the size of our military below any reasonable standard. If America continues to lead from behind, we will lose the ability to guarantee our safety at home and abroad.
Our all-volunteer force deserves better. They deserve a leader who will provide them with the finest weapons systems and the best training. They deserve the full and unapologetic support of their Commander-in-Chief, not a minimal commitment and overly restrictive Rules of Engagement.
Furthermore, Americans make up the finest military professionals and veterans in the world, and they deserve an investment in their careers, their health, and their families. We must honor of our military members, families, and veterans by ensuring they receive the respect and care they have earned.
Under focused, new leadership, America can, and will, rebuild our military and take care of our veterans.
The financing and the details of my plan: https://www.tedcruz.org/american-resolve/

Senator Cruz Sir, what is your plan to counteract the unconstitutional decisions made recently by a bare majority of the SCOTUS?

Sir, what is your plan to protect veterans and their benefits and to help the V.A. get back on track so they are not so far behind and backlogged.

Senator Cruz,
I am a veteran and a health care provider. My question is related to the continued decline in Medicare reimbursements as well as the deductions imposed if we are unable to conform to all Meaningful Use Measures.
Most veterans are not covered with life long health care coverage and will end up on Medicare.
With the declining reimbursements and increasing burdens imposed by the Medicare system and Meaningful Use, what do you feel can reasonably be accomplished with our broken political system, to improve this situation? As these financial constraints are worsened, more and more providers are being placed into a position where we have to eliminate or exclude Medicare patients from our schedules.

Senator, thanks for reaching out to the Rally Point community; that demonstrates your support in our military and veterans community. I would like your view on 3 things. 1)budgeting enough so the services can do their jobs (I know some of that is addressed in the posted article); my service, the Army is especially worried. Related to that how do we keep our military readiness without aggravating the out-of-control national deficit 2) The problem with VA health care and dealing with disabled veterans to include brain trauma and PTSD; 3) Your stand on supporting Israel, our staunch ally, in its fight against terrorism. I am very upset with many people from the USA and allied European nations unfairly bashing Israel. They are not fighting the Palestinian people, only the terrorists, which is a small % of the population. They don't realize that Israel wants to support and help peace-loving Palestinians and Arabs, however, the terrorist groups sabotage any efforts to make peace such as using human shields (putting terrorist strongholds next to peaceful institutions.) Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thanks again, Senator.

You need to point out that Trump donated 4 times more to rebuild the New Jersey Governors Mansion than he has to the veterans. The issue between the Pope & Donald is mute. Donald has built more strip clubs than he has hospitals. Refer to the wonderful hospital the Fishers built in San Antonia

Senator, do you believe the Federal Reserve, a "nobody owns it" entity of the Government is necessary for US today? And if yes, will you have the Federal Reserve audited and the individuals at the Federal Reserve held accountable for all checks and balances and for actions like flooding the US economy with currency?
