Get StartedThe cost is so minimal that it can be financed with a massive expansion of similar digital-based learning in high-performing public high schools already poised for the transition. This digital transition will allow for a phased-in hiring freeze; meaning that anyone presently pursuing a degree in education will still have opportunities available, but we will eventually phase-out new hires without harming those currently pursuing a career in education. A conservative, incremental transition to digital learning in public high schools will save billions in overhead. These savings will be used to finance UAC Online. Learn more
The basic principle of UAC Online is to assemble our nation’s best, brightest, proven, and most successful in each and every field to ensure a new generation of American citizens will have attained the finest education humanly possible by learning only from those that have unquestionably dominated in their fields. Just as Alexander the Great benefited greatly from having Aristotle as his personal teacher, so too will our American citizens be intellectually empowered with UAC Online. Learn more
I do not believe in virtual courses for Elementary and Middle School students. It does not work. As a parent of a Kindergarten student, I know firsthand it does not work. Learn more
Why are we not feeding America’s students? These are our future engineers and doctors, the people who will be caring for us medically when we’re older, and they’re eating ramen noodles for dinner every day while drug dealers have shopping carts full of groceries. With my innovative approach to public education, we can expand the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to cover our nation’s college students. Learn more
Traditionally, when we think of expanding public education, we think of the construction costs for the buildings, vast libraries, thousands of desks and chairs, and all of the classroom equipment; not to mention all of the professors and support staff. Critics of expanding public education frequently cite these outrageous costs and highlight the concern that, in order to pay for these expenses, you have to raise taxes. Guess what? These critics are right that we cannot afford to physically expand public education. But what they have failed to take into account is that we no longer live in the 1900s. We are now in the 2020s, and we have the power of the internet to expand digitally. Learn more
The education budget will not increase by a single dollar. In fact, this new approach to reimagining public education will actually reduce wasteful spending by more wisely and strategically utilizing the existing budget. This will produce enough savings that we can now give our next generation of college graduates the nutrition they need as they study. Learn more
I am proposing a plan for the largest fiscally conservative expansion of public education in the history of the United States, and it actually reduces federal spending by nearly $50 billion over 10 years and paves the road for more tax cuts. Best of all, college education becomes fully transparent and widely available with no annual overhead costs. To give every American the opportunity to pursue a college education regardless of their socioeconomic background. A well-educated people to bring on the Roaring 20s and make America the intellectual powerhouse of the world. And all of this at a net-zero cost; in fact, it saves money. Learn more
UAC Online will not merely be the ''free public option'' for college education. It will revolutionize education like never before and actually be a competitive force in the education market to rightfully put the status quo of elite universities on notice of the need to innovate. Competition drives performance and innovation. UAC Online will become the leading model of a digital education platform for the entire world. Learn more
The cost of this new tax credit will be financed by overhauling the worst underperforming high schools in America. If a high school has a reputation of being among the worst in our country, we will use all tools at our disposal to compel change, including the use of charter schools to spur new innovative approaches to high school education, but only in the worst underperforming schools where all else has failed. It is unfair to our nation’s children to force them into a system that has failed them with the same failed approaches to their unique problems. We must try everything at our disposal, but within reason to prevent abuse and manipulation in the charter system as social commentators like John Oliver have cited. Learn more
In comes the University of the American Citizen Online. Modeled largely after the Great Courses Online and MasterClass, UAC Online will hire the best of the best in every field to produce pre-recorded courses that all Americans can benefit from whether learning for personal development or in the pursuit of a formal degree with online quizzes, quarterly tests, and final examinations.

Energy Independence is a matter of national security. We absolutely cannot rely on foreign oil or imported coal. We need to support all domestic production activities if we wish to not find ourselves embroiled in foreign wars. My Energy Independence Plan will beef up coal mining, oil drilling, and fully utilize alternative sources of energy like hydroelectric by completely reconstructing river dams throughout the country, solar energy by using remote and inhabitable areas to create acres of solar farms, wind energy and more. At the same time, we will also beef up domestic production of traditional sources like coal and oil. This plan will create thousands of jobs in the country and help bring on the Roaring 20s!

We need to model a National Health Commission after the Federal Reserve. This Commission will be headed by the executives of the largest health insurance companies as well as insurance experts appointed by the President; identical to the Federal Reserve. This Commission will serve as the ''single private payer'' to collectively negotiate prices on behalf of Americans. By doing this, we can drive down health costs by as much as 60%. This is effectively the same as a corporate merger and consolidation of the insurance companies; but only the price negotiating function. This plan will benefit all Americans nationwide by driving down the cost of healthcare. This plan will benefit the economy because it consolidates and pools a critical function of insurance companies; less cost means more net profit and dividends for shareholders. This plan benefits everyone. Learn more
For those already struggling in student loan debt, we will incentive entrepreneurialism by getting the IRS off their backs until they pay off their student loans. To do this, we will provide a dollar-for-dollar tax credit (not merely a pathetic deduction) for both student loan interest as well as principal. This will represent one of the largest tax cuts in U.S. history. Students are still responsible for paying off their own student loans; we are simply getting the IRS off of their backs until they do.
