What would be your "Top Three Priorities" if you were President? (Idea thanks to Nitzy)
Begin deportations yes, but also use any constitutional power within reach to remove taxpayer funding for illegals - no welfare, no education, no medical, no ebt cards -nada, nothing.
Those who feel charitable towards the usurpers would be free to donate their own money to the cause.
1. abolish speed limits on cross country interstate highways with more than 2 lanes.
2. begin the inaugural PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY CROSS COUNTRY INVITATIONAL CLASSIC where every 4 years presidential candidates race cheap classic cars from Washington to San Diego with campaign stops along the way. Candidates must decide between the merits of winning the race or schmoozing interstate highway towns for their vote.
3. retire?
That's why my #1 is to push the Article V Convention. The people need to take control of the problems not the President. Example: the SCOTUS have turned into an unaccountable and invincible tribunal of lawyer deities. That can't be fixed by nominating good mortals,
That’s playing the same losing game. Please check out post 83.
Secure the borders and ports.
Send all visa overstays and plain mojados home.
Figure out how to return the US economy from a paper-shuffling one to a productive one.
1. Give all federal agencies the Article 1, Section 8 test. Dismantle all that fail. Everyone but minimal cleanup crew fired immediately.
2. Inform the Defense Department that they are once again the War Department, and that anything—ANYTHING—not explicitly geared to fighting wars rapidly, decisively, even devastatingly will not be a part of their mission. There is no “right to serve”, and no unlawful discrimination in refusing the entry by or limiting the career opportunities of any person or group of people.
3. Build the wall. Model it on the Berlin Wall. Also, see my profile for “My Comprehensive Immigration Reform”.
National Security
Get Economy going again by repealing Obamacare and replace w free market solution. States have monopoly on insurers allowed in states, somehow make it a national market regulated by the states.
Moritorium on all immigration
Glass Steagall good one!
JOBS
JOBS
JOBS
2. Abolish the TSA. Let airlines and airports handle security. This would assure my reelection.
3. End mass surveillance of American citizens.
1. Rescind all Obama EOs.
2. Build an impenetrable wall and patrol zone on the Southern border.
3. Aggressively prosecute all employers of illegals. This will cause massive self-depirtation and largely turn off the magnet.
4. Lower corporate tax rates to ridiculous levels.
5. Kill off education, epa and any other useless federal agency.
BILLIONS FOR JIHAD! Obamas 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and passed by the full committee. It gives billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies. http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/1...

OBAMA GIVES YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO REBUILD MUSLIM MOSQUES AROUND THE WORLD! http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/... # Obama Invites 80,000 Muslim Immigrants Into the United States – Promises 100,000/Per Year for Next 5 Years
2 Build the wall
3 Stop Obama's colonization of America by Muslims
1. Deport all illegals and shut down Muslim immigration temporarily.
2. Start reducing the federal bureaucracy, both people and regulations.
3. Start getting the welfare rolls trimmed and make able-bodied people get a job.
1) End of welfare (kill 2+ birds)..
2) Rescind all E.O. and enforce all current Laws (nothing will change until it begins to ‘hurt’)
3) Begin dismissing all non-A1S8 agencies/Departments/etc. and reminding Congress THEY pass Law, per the Constitution, or it will be veto’d; they cannot delegate.
If you mean ‘strictly on Constitutional grounds’ (what Prez CAN do):
Move #2 up one notch
2) Put the DOJ/FBI eyes on GOVT, at all levels, and prosecute...FULLY. ‘Clean house’ of lifers/do-nothings as well.
3) Win, or terminate, the war(s) and pull our troops home to enforce/secure our borders; no more ‘world police’ for nothing.
1. With one executive order, void virtually all orders under the 0bama dynasty.
2. With one executive order, void virtually all of the regulations issued by the 0bama dynasty... including all EPA changes.
3. Propose a flat tax and eliminate all 100,000 IRS curmudgeons.
4. Build an unbreachable wall with mine fields (or alligators, snakes, etc.)along the entire southern border.
5. Enforce current immigration law... except propose to congress that all illegal crossings be felonies punishable by a minimum of five years in prison (contracted to Sheriff Joe for tents in the desert with bologna sandwiches and water). After serving sentences, deportation by ship (long trip, rough seas) to South America (or Antarctica). In conjunction, employers hiring illegals fined $50,000 per alien per day (no lengthy hearings, just initial proof that employment occurred).
(2) To support (1) Establish significant task force to look for redundancy and waste in federal expenditures. Full delegation of those redundant activities to the states. Eliminate Agencies and Departments that do not support Defense, Treasury, or State.
(3) Establish a world class military that is absolute state of the art in every phase.
(4) Line by line rescind every EO that does not support (1-3).
(5) Establish an Energy Independence Policy that eliminates the need for foreign sources by 2030.
(6) Incrementally add budget to secure borders and remove internal Islamic terrorist threats
(7) Prod Congress to rescind the ACA,
Without reading all entries
1. Wall
2. Reform health insurance to market principles
3. Encourage states to call for a convention of states
Pre 1- shred all Obama exec orders
4. Introduce 50 state constitutional carry
I can’t even get started with just 3...
With so many problems to deal with, it’s not easy to put a priority on any one thing, except national security.
So I would have to start there.
1. Close the borders, put border patrol back to work and let them do their job.
2. I don’t think a wall is necessary, finish the fence already started, (and find out what the hell happened to the money already allocated for it) and put in every form of video and electronic monitoring you can think of.
3. Destroy ISIS, which would also imply rebuilding our military. It might also be judicious to cooperate with Russia to do it, and would be mandatory to have cooperation of as many middle eastern countries as possible. It’s a threat to them too.
But...the economy is a huge problem too. It would probably be necessary to do a lot of economic rebuilding before any of that could be done. Lower taxes, wipe out all of the last 8 years worth of regulations, do something to bring back over $2 trillion American companies are holding offshore, get employment going again, eliminate Obamacare and the huge problems it’s creating with both cost to individuals and loss of jobs...
and that’s just the beginning.
You still have common core, racial tension, social security going broke, major violence in places like Chicago, members of Congress not even trying to work together on any solutions...I think term limits would be a major priority too...then there’s a big problem in the drug industry that must be dealt with, for example right now Xarelto is dealing with a class action lawsuit for causing excessive bleeding but the FDA has not yet seen fit to make them remove it from the shelves...that should have been done long ago and is a very common occurrence. Vioxx was the same, Merck sold it for at least a couple of years after finding out it was killing people. Isn’t the FDA supposed to be protecting us from unscrupulous business practices of this nature?
Ditto for the USDA. Various bacteria being found in foods already on the shelves, when simple common sense sanitary measures could stop 95% of it. And the USDA has no teeth when it comes to inspections, they have to make an appointment...the company cleans up long enough to pass the inspection then goes back to business as usual. Sound a lot like the VA? You bet it does.
The same applies to many areas of business, manufacturing and agriculture.
I don’t think there’s any way I could pick out any particular 3 things I would do immediately, especially since several are interconnected. Illegal immigration, for example, is also related to national security, economy, labor, taxes, medical care, law and order, welfare, food stamps, education...
I could probably get started on a dozen things in my first week...but I’m not sure what the first 3 would be...I think numero uno would be go tell Congress to put away their petty political squabbles and do their job...according to the Constitution...
