what actions would you take to better your country and people?
My actions may be harsh to some so keep in mind this is for discussion purposes.
1. Term limits for all of congress. 2 terms and your Done.
2. Income tax is gone. Hello national sales tax!
3. pork belly spending is over. Tax payers shouldn't be funding multi-million dollar studies on how ketchup flows.
4. Healthcare law repeal and complete overhaul of the health care system.
5. The EPA is to be scaled back, and they must consider costs and job losses.
6. I'm closing half of the overseas military bases and those troops are coming home.
7. National defense and military are top priority.
8. NO MORE FOREIGN OIL DEPENDENCY!!
9. PACS are Illegal
10. Reform immigration! Services should be earned.
Ok, let me have it.
While this thread is against board rules, at least, it isn't accusing me of being a traitor to the country I love and have served and defended over the years. Since no one is moderating this board I will offer my opinions on this subject.
1. The first priority of the President and US Congress is national security. So, the first thing I would do is take steps to ensure we are doing all things possile to protect and secure the national security of the US. This includes securing our borders and getting our immigration policy fixed. Immigration is good as long as those who immigrate to this country as long as it is done within the law. It also includes providing leadership to tackle the Islamic Caliphate issues. It means building a consensus to effective eliminate this threat to world peace.
2. Get us back to respecting the Constitution. I would go out of the way to make sure that my actions follow the Constitution and the spirit of the Constitution to the best of my abilities. This includes appointing people my team who share these values as well.
3. Second on the list is to focus on the economy and get this country back on track. To do this we need to tackle out tax laws. Don't think we can overhaul or reform the IRS so we need to bite the bullet and go to a national sales tax. Also, we need to fix the corporate tax laws to stop the hemorrhage of corporations leaving for lower tax rates and bring all those tax dollars back to the US. How can anyone trust the IRS when they are being used to punish US Citizens for their political beliefs/opinions. Get the US back in the business of leading the world in such issues as trade.
4. Get rid of Obama Care and replace it with something else. Get the Federal Government out of the process and our health care back to being between the Doctors and their patients. First on my list is to allow interstate purchase of health insurance. This is a horribly complicated issue and care needs to be taken to find ways that will actually work.
5. Regulatory relief is a top issue as well. I would immediately put a freeze on any additional regulations until we over-haul this out of control system. We are literally strangling ourselves on red tape and it has to be stopped. Of course this is an issue that the President can control by his appointments to his/her cabinet positions etc.
6. Develop an energy policy that gets us energy sufficient as soon as possible.
7. Close the doors to the US Department of Education ... put them out of business.
8. Find a way to turn the care of our veterans over to the private sector and eliminate that responsibility from the federal government. We know they can't do it so why keep throwing money at the problem when we know we are just wasting it.
9. My administration would focus on uniting our citizens, not dividing them as this current administration has done for the last seven years.
10. Put in place a National open carry system. Take the guns away from felons and those who commit the felons while respecting the 2nd Amendment and the gun rights of the law abiding US Citizens.
There are many others, but these top ten would be a good start.
