<p>The same thread, I believe, was started at the Cafe. So, if you were the President of the United States, what would you try to accomplish. Which laws would you try to pass? It seems as if we have some very politically minded people here, so seeing what they would do in office would be most fascinating. :D</p>
<pre><code> Have a nice day!
</code></pre>
<p>Be more like Ronnie. Relax. Be more cheerful and friendly and less tense and , well, defensive. Work on positive relations with world leaders. Go for the good photo ops. Seems like now everything always looks stressed and strained. It all shows in the demeanor of the pres. and foreign leaders. Slow everything down. What is this, a race to our own demise?</p>
<p>Reform/simplify the tax code. </p>
<p>And just for you, Robert, I’d re-establish the Confederacy.</p>
<p>Simplify the tax code: I like what I have read about my senator’s plan. (Ron Wyden) It seems simple and fair.</p>
<p>I would also try to establish better relations with other countries. I would try to bring the country together by emphasizing compromise and listening to all sides of an issue, rather than sticking to any narrow agenda, whether left or right. </p>
<p>However, I would NEVER run for president in the first place, since I have neither the money nor the steel armor required.</p>
<p>(1) work like the devil on education; (2) dismantle DHS and either put the original 22 agencies back where they were, or establish newer, separate agencies; (3) run for reelection because anything substantial related to #1 would probably require more than one term to accomplish.</p>
<p>Make woman who falsly accuse men of rape subject to the same jail time that the man would have done if he had actually committed rape. 30 years for falsly reporting a rape and ruining a man’s life would prevent the rash of false rape accusations that have come about lately. </p>
<p>Give hiring protection to white males.</p>
<p>Eliminate child support by having the man only pay for the things kids need. The mother would have to furnish receipts, then be reimbursed by the man. This would prevent goldiggers who spend the money on a new car and jewelry.</p>
<p>Have a constitutional amendment banning all hate crime laws. People don’t committ crimes against people they like, all crimes are hate crimes.</p>
<p>Legalize and nicely tax the big three (marijuana, prostitution, and gambling)</p>
<p>Lower the national drinking age to 18. Or if that didn’t pass, make a law where people in the military could legally drink regardless of age.</p>
<p>Eliminate school zones and raise all speed limits 10 MPH. </p>
<p>Disband the FCC.</p>
<p>Make a law stating what goes on in a bedroom between two consenting adults is none of the government’s business. </p>
<p>I could go on for days…</p>
<p>I would implement a Socialist System…EQUALITY!</p>
<p>I like some of your ideas Joev, too bad actually passing a large degree of fair and useful laws isn’t the american way LOL.</p>
<p>The oppsite of ab_med - instead of equal and poor/miserable - FREE.</p>
<p>If I were President, I would immediately encourage the passage of a Constitutional Amendment reading “Congress shall pass no law infringing on the freedom of production or trade.”</p>
<p>I would move the U.S. Capitol to Ghangzhou, and use the White House for photo ops for my double.</p>
<p>I would quit making the US the police of the world and let countries settle their own differences.</p>
<p>I would increase the tax for those who can afford to pay taxes the most- the big corporations and very wealthy individuals. I would also eliminate social security for those who make big bucks. They don’t need it.</p>
<p>I would make education a priority and make sure that schools are safe learning environments. </p>
<p>There would be a definate separation of church and state.</p>
<p>There would be a health care plan for those who do not have insurance, or need help. By not having wars I would be able to send money to where it’s truly needed.</p>
<p>There will not be hungry kids on my watch, it’s criminal that we take care of the world, but not our own. That will change when I am elected.</p>
<p>Eliminate taxation entirely, or have a very small flat tax
Enforce separation of church and state
Eliminate public schooling, Social Security, and subsidies for big business
Eliminate government subsidizing of farms
Eliminate government funding of the insurance/HMO racket
Enact tort reform, enabling doctors to practice without the lurking multi-million dollar settlements over their shoulder
Repeal all anti-2nd Amendment legislation, starting with the 1934 National Firearms Act.</p>
<p>annd my last one for now… (that EVERYONE, liberals AND conservatives should agree with)
IMMEDIATELY sign an Executive Order declaring eminent domain that seizes private property for private business’s purpose un-Constitutional, immoral, and plain wrong - nullifying the dangerous precedent set by Kelo v. New London.</p>
<p>Force ratification of the Kyoto Protocol
Sign all pending free trade agreements and negotiate new ones
End U.S. legal authority over Japan
End farm subsidies
Create public healthcare for all those under 18
Establish a new doctrine of Wilsonian attitudes toward human rights violations in concert with NATO
Emphasis on U.S. global competitiveness; raise education standards from the ground up
Refuse to regulate the internet
Greatly enhance the funding of the SBA</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Apparently someone likes the sound of 350,000 jobs going away!</p>
<p>I would insist that Condoleezza Rice change her name immediately.</p>
<p>Put more of an emphasis on science: </p>
<p>Determine if global warming is something we need to worry, can do anything about, or how to live with it if we can’t. Ask for the sacrifices that might need to be made.</p>
<p>Loosen the reins on stem-cell research.</p>
<p>Encourage development of high-tech high-speed passenger screening at the airports.</p>
<p>Improve the quantity and quality of math and science education.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>HAHAHAHAH! That was hilarious! :D</p>
<p>As President, I would:</p>
<pre><code> No longer fund public schools. As President, all schools will be of the private sector. Parents will have to find their own means of education for their children. This could be accomplished through schools funded by churches, business companies, or private tutors who create a small schooling setting.
All children under the age of 18 will receive free medical care. Every medical procedure, vaccination, or doctors visit will be paid by the US government.
Disband the United Nations.
“Wire tapping” would be legalized for the use of the US Government only.
</code></pre>
<p>This method will ONLY be used to seek out terror organizations lurking here in the US. A successful example of wiretapping was shown when many terrorist leaders were compromised in Canada thanks to wiretapping.</p>
<pre><code> Rid the US of NAFTA.
Create ridiculously high tariffs on imported goods from multiple countries. This will encourage growth of factories and manufacturing here in the United States.
Finally, invest 30 billion dollars in the Mexican oil industry and receive HUGE price reductions on Mexican oil. Promise to help Mexico financially as long as we receive greatly reduced prices on oil. Also, begin heavy drilling in Alaska.

<p>I would make her change it to Debbie.</p>
<p>Why hasn’t some rice company come out with a “Condy Rice” flavor?</p>
