George Allen, the former governor and U.S. Senator who is vying for the GOP nomination in Virginia for U.S. Senate, released his “Blueprint for America’s Comeback” – the policy centerpiece of his campaign – in Richmond today.
Calling it a “Pro-Growth Plan of Action for Jobs, Competitiveness, Freedom and Opportunity for Virginia”, the plan itself focuses on three major points: “Making America Competitive for Job Creators,” “Unleashing America’s Plentiful Energy Resources and Creativity,” and “Reining in the Over-Reaching, Over-Spending Federal Government.”
Allen joined me for an exclusive interview to explain the plan, but he also addressed in greater detail his ideas for maitaining Medicare’s solvency, how Virginia can actually lead on offshore energy development and share in revenues with the Federal government, and answered his critics by justifying his Senate votes to raise the debt ceiling, while also explaining how he would approach the current debate in Congress.
