Today's Topic: If I Were President, I Would.....?

With the election going on today, we decided to make each of you "President" for a day. Now that you are ruling the country--what would you do? Would you give everyone Friday's off? Would you get rid of the income tax? What would you do?

 

~ President (Insert Your Name) ~


Scenario

Before you sit down and do this, please GO VOTE!

America needs you. You have been made President for a day because the current one is going fishing on the new Mars settlement.

If I Were President, I Would......

Ban Taxes?
Remove The Speed Limit?
Repeal the Beer Tax? (Have to get a plug in for Burkaman 4 President!)

What would you do?

We want to know!!

 

Now it's your turn to share. What would you do as President?

Thank you Mojo for today's thread! If I were President, I would support our soldiers 100%, just as President Bush has done.

Thank you troops for keeping us safe.

Good night ladies, Happy Election Day!

If I were President, I would:

Keep the UN. It's on our soil, within our jurisdiction and under our control. Revise Charter to reinforce national sovereignty, self-government, property rights, human rights, and explicit limits to which the UN may intervene in any nation's affairs.

Redirect foreign aide to our allies, and countries that embrace democracy, property laws, inalienable human rights, especially full civil rights for women! Stop supporting dictators, even if it means losing a few strategic allies. We have to walk the walk too. Reduce UN funding by 90% or more.

Scrap the tax code, establish a "flatter" tax, incorporating mortgage and education deductions, but I would pledge to keep the new code under 50 pages.

Abolish the Estate Tax and all taxes on govt benefits.

End corporate welfare completely, and most economic subsidies.

Begin a Secure Borders & Coasts Initiative, use the latest tech to prevent intrusions on our frontiers and beef up all ports-of-entry. Focus on tech to scan EVERY ship container, train car and truck trailer.

Reduce immigration quotas and scrutinize visa applicants more carefully. Require foreign college students to account for their domestic travels and time away from school.

Abolish all government employee unions (start wearing bullet proof jacket when out jogging in DC). Reward performance and initiatives to improve efficiency and customer service. Consolidate all benefits, etc. Same as for Veterans.

Abolish union monopolies, declare a universal Right to Work Act.

Establish a National Voter ID, using biometric identity techs. Create a interstate database of felons, deceased voters, and ending most fraud for good. Require each state to adopt a single standard voting technology and procedures.

End dependency on foreign energy. Mandate hybrid trucks and SUVs and vehicles that use agro-fuels, slash regulations that strangle our energy economy. Build several small cleaner oil refineries around the country, smaller atomic plants and geothermal power stations.

Privatize education as much as possible. Encourage private and religious institutions and community schooling partnerships, groups of parents homeschooling their children together, a return to family-based schools.

Enact drastic legal reforms, reducing malpractice costs. Separate health benefits from the employer. Encourage market solutions to healthcare costs. Restrict all govt benefits to citizens and legal aliens. Deport illegal aliens without exception. Appoint federal judges who will guard our sovereignty and interpret, not legislate.

If I were President, I would:
- Recind unconsitutial executive orders, especially those issued by Slick Willy

- Pull out of the UN, and push the UN out of the US.

- Propose an amendment stating that the Constitution and US law take precedence over any treaty and international agreement.

- Pull out of NAFTA, etc.

- Abolish the Dept. of Education, or, failing that, cut its staff and budget to where it can't function. Use money saved to fund border control and deportation of illegals.

- Fire the remaining Clintonistas and socialists from the State dept. Then have the new State Dept. people remind countries that harbor terrorists that the US still has nukes...

- Support the Marriage Amendment - but expand it to the Family Amendment, which would require Child Social Services to follow due process, and recognize the right to homeschool.

- Cut the fat wherever possible, use savings to fund military.

- Start a Free Republic chapter at the White House, and open a Freeper Canteen in the park across the street.

(I haven't read ahead, but I'm guessing most of what I said has already been said.)

Just make me President, Kathy. It will happen. I hope you saw my next proposal, which was that I would then immediately resign and appoint George W. Bush to finish out my term. ;)

Hey, Seven....sounds like a plan to me. Part of our Statehood agreement was that we get 90% of the oil. The feds agreed and then when we signed on the dotted line, they changed to 50/50 and they still would like more. GRRRR!!
