Below, you will find what other visitors would do, if they were President. Decisions and views published do not reflect the opinion of the site managers. Published in reverse chronological order of submission date.
I would start by asking instead of telling people what they want.
I would quit bailing out companies that don't manage their companies finances and make they accountable for the short comings.
I would not expect the average citizen to bankrupt themselves so the big wigs could live high on the hog sort of speaking.
I would remember that I am a servant of the people not a dictator manipulated by everyone in town who has an agenda.

If you are NOT a Civil Servant you are NOT allowed in the buildings accept tours.
All Civil Servants pay their own travel expenses.
BAN all Campaigning During their Term and that Campaigning should be a 60 day process maximum.
Reduce the size of government 50%. Reduce Spending 50%. Stop borrowing unless absolutely necessary.
Reduce income tax to a flat 5% and a Sales tax a.k.a. Vat of 2% on all sales both in stores and on line.
Require All health insurance providers to cover everyone regardless of age, health, race etc...as long as they are in the USA legally. Also to sell health insurance across state lines and enact Tort reform.
Dissolve Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Welfare. Aka Entitlement programs.
Reinstate the churches to provide social services to the less fortunate.
Pull out ALL military personnel from all bases abroad maybe accept Korea. That includes Iraq & Afghanistan. And place many of them at our borders. We as Americans welcome anyone from all countries provided we know who they are and where they are going Legally.
Fire the Federal Reserve and only the treasury shall make money BACKED by GOLD,SILVER and other hard assets. HONEST MOETARY WEIGHTS and MEASURES.
The Constitution and the Bill of Rights shall be our duty to Defend PERIOD
Term Limits for ALL Civil Servants. 2 Terms PERIOD then must enter/re enter the private sector. Much like Jury Duty. NO life time pension, Civil Servants pay their own health care and expenses. the People vote on pay raises.
Enforce the Laws already on the books and stop adding new ones if not necessary.
Reduce Public School spending 50% and all students must learn about HONEST MOETARY WEIGHTS and MEASURES, Accounting and Economics.
All History books must have actual history in history books not leaving out or altering actual facts.
If we ever need to go to War, it must be short and swift. No more playing games with our brave men & women lives. All out war to end it quickly. Stop tyeing one hand behind our solders back before and during war.
No jail time for petty crimes they will have to pay an economic price for their crime, save the jails for murder, Rape and other violent crimes.
If a Bank or other financial institutions fail, take it over and then sell it to a solid financial institution.
That's what I would start with
I don't have the all the solutions to the countries problems. But I do know this you have to stop jack up the average tax payer for all the mismanagement problems the big companies have brought upon themselves.
If you continue to do this government pay checks will cease because you have destroyed the people who pay them. Who is going to bail out the average joe who has to pay on time or lose everything they worked fot years to get?
Shame on you and your deserve everything that you get.
