re: ***tOfficial Policy Debate Thread: Category 1***

1. Should the government increase environmental regulations to prevent global warming?

Nope, all this does is increased cost to the consumer and does nothing to effect global carbon emissions.

2. Should National Parks continue to be preserved and protected by the federal government?

No, the parks need to be turned over to the states. But I do believe there should be a congressional committee who has oversight into state parks to limit a poor state from plundering public resources.

3. Do you support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources?

Yes, if private enterprise wants to do spend money on this then yes let it be done. I will admit that I do not fully understand this issue.

4. Should the United States require labeling of genetically engineered foods?

Yes, anything that anyone eats should have the ingredients listed on it.

5. Should the U.S. expand offshore oil drilling?

Yes, if private enterprise deems it a sound financial investment.

6. Should the federal government continue to give tax credits and subsidies to the wind power industry?

Not no, but hell no. I could be okay with low interest loans that do not exceed 50% of initial cost.
