I'd implement the severest version of Morgenthau Plan -- in Germany, France and the Middle East, and launch a first strike against China and N. Korea to prevent them from threatening us with nukes.

Re-value the dollar so that a loaf of bread would cost 10 cents. A new quality car $2000. Average wage in US= ??? It would make numbers real again.
A flat, inescapable sales tax of 2 or 3%. Enough to provide for the public defense and one or two other things. No exceptions. No loopholes.
We don't want the Armed Services working in this country. You don't want to habituate soldiers to controlling their fellow citizens. Hire a Border Patrol sufficient to control our borders. Designate English as the one official language of the US. Freeze all immigration to we vett every single foreigner presently in this country. Tie immigration quotas to a low unemployment rate.
Get the federal government out of the education business. Cut Congressional & White House staffs by at least 75%.
Establish a loser pays system in many areas of the law. Institute heavy penalties for the filing of nuisance suits or suits based on simple fancy. Abolish double jeopardy by disallowing civil suits that follow criminal suits we don't like the verdicts of.
Resolve to pare down all laws by some 95%. After all, ten commandments pretty much cover everything. The law should be simple and understandable.
That would be a good day.
