If You Were President

I had a thread a while back about this, and since we have new members since that time,I'm interested to see....what would YOU do as president of the United States to fix our problems?How would you get us out of debt?What would you do about the wars,national security, drugs,etc? If you can explain why you think your ideas would work, that would be great,but you can just make a list of what you would do if you wish. Doesn't matter which party you identify with,just lay out your ideas.Let's not bash anyone.I'm just interested to see how the different folks who frequent the politics section would handle the office.

Wow, that avatar could find a prostrate fast!


I'd bring ALL troops home and surround our borders with them, then round up all the illegal aliens in our borders and send them out of our borders.

Every person in prison would work for their food, by doing what goverment employees are doing for the city, state and federal goverment, as far as labor is concerned.

I 'd pass a 10% FAIR TAX, as a Federal sales tax, and stop all Income taxes.
If 10% is good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for Uncle Sam.

I would repeal every victimless crime, like helmet laws, drug laws, etc

I'd let all the prisoners in prison out that commited victimless crimes, or reduce their sentences by 75% depending on what they did.

To get Food Stamps, WELFARE, Medicare or Medicaid, you would earn it by doing SOMETHING, even if it was babysitting, and not get it if you did NOTHING.

ENGLISH would be the only languare spoken in the USA.

I'd move the capital of the USA to Las Vegas.

Our National Anthem would be Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin.
For a start.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some midlevel governmental functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts squirting out babies.

I'm not in touch with my feelings and I like it that way, damn it!

I believe no one ever died because of something Ozzy Osbourne, Ice-T or Marilyn Manson sang.

I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer.

I believe it's called the Boy Scouts for a reason.

I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized.

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, you'd better do it in English.

I don't use the excuse "it's for the children" as a shield for unpopular opinions or actions.

I think fireworks should be legal on the 4th of July.

I think that being a student doesn't give you any more enlightenment than working at Blockbuster. In fact, if your parents are footing the bill to put your pansy ass through 4-7 years of college, you haven't begun to be enlightened.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God or gods, just leave the rest of us out of it. This also applies to sexuality. Your sex is your sex.

My heroes are John Wayne, the Simpsons, and whoever canceled Ellen Degeneres.

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time arguing about it.

I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I didn't wander forty years in the desert after getting chased out of Egypt, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you, so shut-the-#$%!-up already.

I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches. And where does he get his money. And why is he always part of the problem and not the solution.

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you're running from them. I also think they have the right to pull your ass over if you are breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

I hate those bastards standing in the intersections trying to sell me crap or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause. These people should be targets.

I think if you are in the passing lane, and not passing, your license should be revoked, and you should be forced to ride the bus until you promise to never delay the rest of us again.

I think tomato sandwiches could quite possibly be the perfect food.

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents.

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement.

I think Dr. Seuss was a genius.

I'm neither angry nor disenfranchised, no matter how desperately the mainstream media would like the world to believe otherwise.

And Bill, I believe if she has her lips on your willie, it is sex, and it is sex for both of you. This even applies when you are President of the United States.

If that makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.

Legalize all drugs, obviously.
Pull out of Iraq/Afghanistan
Single Payer Health Care
Return back to the gold standard- if possible
Legalize hemp growing
legalize pot growing
do a major overhaul on our welfare system and criminal justice system
Pull troops out of Germany and Japan-80 thousand total

Repeal a whole shit ton of laws, especially the ones that protect police/government/corporations from the people. 16th amendment ...gone. Confiscate all the gold and silver from all the big banks. End The Fed, congress will issue the money and it will be coin of gold and silver. Arm every capable citizen with a handgun and a rifle/shotgun..watch the violent crime rate drop to nothing. End all discretionary government spending. End the military/industrial complex, pull troops out of every nation, end all wars, close all bases on foreign ground. Other countries will have to fend for themselves instead of relying on the good ole USA to do all the policing in this world and defending foreigners no more. Release any person being held under " Extended detention" by the USA everywhere in the world. Disband the CIA. Remove all trade tariffs in and out. Let people know they alone are responsible for themselves. Privatize education somehow, as is it costs 4 times what it should for 1/10 the results we should be getting.

Get ready for my assassination as it would only take the first 2 to get me killed right away.

I'd vote for you.

i forgot to do away with the Federal Reserve Crooks.

I'd smoke a blunt in the oval office.

I agree with everything NoDrama said but I would also dissolve Homeland Security and FEMA. IRS would be out the door and I would remove all federal regulations and give the power back to the state and it's people. After pulling out all troops I would also apologize publicly to all nations citizens we have murdered, misled, tortured, etc. I would also make sure everyone in this country is aware that we are not a christian nation and quit putting the term of "evil" on people who don't believe in their walk of life. I would also set up investigations on corrupt politicians that got us into this mess with their lies and greed and have them tried by a jury in front of the public.

I'd be shot but at least I'd actually do something to better this mess. Democracy doesn't work in mental institutions and is the WORST form of government.

I've always thought cannabis could solve the world's problems, too. Or at least bring people together in a civilized way to talk about the problems.

Unequivocally Mexican Warlord there are unambiguous astronomical days
when Gergantiunation excogitated the conglomerate erudition of paraphernalia.
Notwithstanding you are insensate Gergantiunation conceived in envisageing deductive that diacritic conceivably permitted sonorousness perspicacious by commissioning morphemes that bagatelle posterior kumtux.
A dexterous consummatent and stupid are consanguineous.

I would give every tax paying citizen a free membership to the jelly of the month club.
