Economy related: Move towards a more free market capitalist system.
foreign policy related: Take a stronger stand against Iran, support our allies more, and call for the international community to do their part. I would also support a partitioning of Iraq.
War related: Go to war with Iran if they do not comply.
Something about the environment: Abolish the idea of agw in our government. Remove carbon regulations.
Immigration related: crack down on illegal immigration. Impose heavy fines and make frequent checks towards companies that hire illegals. Reform the immigration process.
Gay marriage related: Formerly define marriage as a union only between one man and one woman. Give state's the rights to define marriage for themselves. Would personally support traditional marriage and speak out against gay marriage.
Alternative energy: Fun research into more efficient alternative energies. I would drill in the US to remove foreign dependance on oil. I would go for nuclear power plant and other sources of power. I would also support coal power plants.
Something drug related: Crack down against drugs. I would enforce the border stronger and impose heavier sentences on drug users/sellers. I would file a law suit against CA for wanting to legalize marijuana. I would also make it harder for people to obtain controlled substances through prescriptions.

Vote for me :)

um...how can you abolish an idea?
 
my apologies to the whores that actually provide a service for the funds received....:2razz:

Lobbyist jokes aside, which were funny, I guess I never could agree with the distaste of lobbyists. I grew up around lobbyists. They do good work for "minorities" of all sort (gun enthusiasts, economically disadvantaged, parents groups, etc.) . Much like bureaucrats of government agencies. They mostly get a bad reputation until someone asks another person a positive question rather than a negative one.
 
If you were the president of the United States (or the leader of the country that you live in) what would you do?

god forbid I ever be absolte ruler. many years ago there was a novel written by Piers Anthony entitled "Triple Detente". very good read.

If I were in charge...

revamp welfare - if you are physically able to work, you work. I don't give a rat's ass if it is picking up trash along the side of the road, if you get a check from the govt you will do "something" to earn it.

forced sterilization for all people living on welfare who have had at least two kids. yes this included scumbag men who make the rounds impregnating random women.

bring back the chain gangs for prisons. maybe if we make prisons an unpleasant place to be again, people might try harder to avoid going/goin back there.

institute a flat tax across the board, close loopholes for the rich and big businesses, ensure that lower income people pay their fair share as well.

stop wasting govt $$$ researching cow farts and global warming and spend that $$$ on researching alternatives to fossil fuels.
 
I have no doubt they can shoot at cans and deer... things that typically don't shoot back.

come on down boy and find out for yourself. As an Alabamian who has spent two tours in Iraq, I can guarantee you that I am well versed in shooting at "things" that shoot back.

:lol: you just have to ask yourself one question: Do you feel lucky??? well...do you? punk :lol:
 
Harems. :)

Give free bellydancing classes to all women. Put chains on all men. Us gals will live in luxury together (think Bedouin tents), dancing the nights away, soaking in luxurious mineral baths, while the men feed us grapes, fan us with palm leaves, and perform sexually at our demand. War will be unnecessary for we will seduce the world's powers to bend to our will.
 
I would do everything except drug, which isn't really a big problem in our country. The economy needs to be centered on growth, immigration needs to be restricted, we need to seek alternative energy, we should save the environment, and we should allow gay marriage (although I'm not really enthusiastic about it, and find it disgusting, because it's a form of real love, I support it). When I would have a huge public probe into the activities of our dear president Lee-Myung-Bak in revenge for his probe into our good former late president Roh-Muh-Hyeon

I would avoid that country, thank you very much

Hmm sounds like an ex girlfriend of mine.

Are we men allowed to just visit? Say, for perhaps a day per year? :mrgreen:

Then again, I don't think I could handle the chains part.

Sexy and yet cruel. That's an uncomfortable combination.
 
Declare the entire cast of Jersey Shore to be enemy combatants and direct that the military act accordingly.

I'm pretty sure they're terrorists. They jihad intelligence in every episode.
 
If I were the President of the United States, I'd fix our entitlement programs.
I'll address this as you have included industry pros in my field.

**I'd get the best insurance/annuity guys in the business to advise me on how to reform Social Security. That reform would effect people aged 45 and younger.
This is pretty easy, put the SS funds in a guaranteed account or as was mentioned in early 2k a "lock box" if you will, let the fund rebuild itself and then fund qualified individual annuity accounts for those entering the market currently using the surplus funds after mandatory payouts are met. As the program becomes more solvent dedicate more funds towards annuity principle and for those qualified funds exempt the "tax ceiling" on retirement accounts. That should get the program completely solvent in 5-7 years and independent within around 15.
**I'd reform our public assistance programs so that they were temporary programs. There'd be a time limit on the average bloke collecting public assistance; and those collecting would be required to attend trade schools/normal schools as if they had a full-time job.
Treat these as investments, give a "period certain" for benefits that will end barring disabilities or other specific special needs. For those who cannot find gainful employment there should be a minimum mandatory standard for job seeking to be proven on a monthly basis. Special concessions can be granted for the impovershed seeking further education based on a mandatory minimum GPA. I think that would be enough to reform welfare in a meaningful way.
**I'd reform Social Security Disability and toughen the standards for collecting it. Anyone with a "back problem" disability or "depression" disability would have to show up every day to perform community service of some sort. If they "couldn't," the burden of proof would have to be on them as to why they couldn't.
Fully agree with this.
**I'd reform V.A. disability to those same standards.
I'd actually just get rid of the standard administrators that seem to make the system completely unworkable and replace them with actual industry professionals from the private sector, I think that would be the best fix.
