IF I WERE PRESIDENT

• If I were President I would make sure that the Senior citizens were taken care of a lot better than they are now.
  I think it was ludicrist to not give them a social security cost of living raise for two years.
  The seniors already have a very tough time living now.
  I think Obama wants them to suffer and let the immigrants get everything and the true Americans nothing.
  How about cutting the Government spending and stop giving all the congress and represenitives raises.
  They are making the seniors pay for taking care of them, instead of them taking care of the senior citizens of this country.
  The seniors are who made this country what it is , until the Government ruined everything by taking more interest in themselves than they due the people.

•  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.

• I would require the FCC to mandate free and equal political airtime on all broadcast television networks. Non-compliance would result in that network being stripped of their broadcast license.
  
  I would appoint William K. Black as special prosecutor with full subpoena power to investigate and prosecute those responsible for mortgage or accounting fraud. In addition, I'd lobby Congress to repeal S-900.
  
  I'd enforce a night time curfew on all major roads used by U.S. Forces in Afghanistan. Any unidentified persons found loitering during hours of darkness, who could be planting IED's in or along the roads would be subjected to whatever force deemed necessary.

• Ban ALL political contributions and require $1 from each paycheck go toward a pool equally given to each person (NOT Party) running for President.

  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 would ralley the nation to build a nuclear power plant at the edge of one of the great lakes for the sole purpuse of converting water to hydrogen. The plant would be tax payer owned and opperated. This would provide cheap fuel for our cars and would run our fuel cells for our homes and buisines's. We would become energy independent in two years.

• 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.

• For starters, I would disband the Torrent Czars, and sign a bill making sure ISP,Anti-p2p Groups and others of relative organizations, could not use any software/hardware to track, decrease or monitor any one's internet browsing habits, download/upload speeds and habits, and I would legalize downloading music, torrents, and anything else related to such, for everyone's usage. Not only in the USA, but the world.

• I would abolish that waste of money they call the IRS . No one realizes that the true funds come from everyday commerce . If they put maybe a twenty-five or thirty percent tax on say groceries and absolutely nothing else got taxed , then everyone would have to pay it . The illegals , the useless trash on welfare , the wealthy with foreign bank accounts who can skip out on income taxes , and everyone else from children buying candy to drug dealers and prostitutes .

• I would send jobs overseas. I would enslave the white man and make him do all the countries manual labor for free. And then after I (this country) gets out of debt and accumulates tremendous wealth, then I would place all the white people on reservations somewhere in a remote desert where nothing grows and there is no water.
  
  Then I would take over the banks, the airlines, the insurance companies, the utilities, tobacco, all tech companies, etc and sell them all to the Chinese.
  
  Then I would drop two nuclear bombs on a on two cities of a country I don't like killing all the innocent children and peoples of those cities. Then I would declare any other country that wishes to utilize nuclear energy as evil and try to get the world to hate them. Then I would make every one in the country eat Fast Food Hamburgers so that we are all fay, even our children.
  
  Then I would allow for TV programming that teaches our children and the adult child-minds to have sex with many partners and cheat in their relationships. I would make sure the children learn how great sex is in their early teens.
  
  Then I would make sure we worship our sports heros and purchase all marketing products associated with these people so that these athletes can earn millions for playing a stupid game.
  
  Then I would allow for evangelists to preach their version of religion while making millions off the fools that believe God loves them more than anything else.
  
  Then I would hand out condoms to thirteen year olds thinking this form of education is as intelligent as the centipede that crawls out of your shower drain.
  
  Then I would promote hatred by using the Rep-Dem relationship as a guide to educating how to hate one another.
  
  Then I would invent 5000 video games so that the children can play them all day long.
  
  Then I would allow alcohol to be filtered into the system so that people can drink their faces off and obtain DWI's and run their cars off the road.
  
  Then I would blame everyone else for Global Warming and pollution while still allowing corporations to destroy the environment. Then I would allow insider trading and pretend that ot only happens in selective locations.
  
  Then I would pretend that we are the greatest country in the world and that oppression, slavery, murdering of red peoples and reneging contracts with these red people, woman and child suffrage never happened while attacking other countries for inhumane acts.
  
  Then I would allow people to make millions and billions while we treat others like crap and allow others to live on the streets and in gutters without any understanding of the truth.
  
  Then I would mask all of our problems with my Holy God our Savior.
  
  Then I would cry because other countries are catching and surpassing us economically and militarily and cry that they stole our secrets just like we did over the years.
  
  Then I would still call us United when we really are not united at all. Then I would ask Sarah Palin if she still considers herself an idiot or now that she is making millions if this is what she calls "the game plan".
  
  Then I would ask George Bush why we are always asking former Presidents and Vice Presidents for advice but somehow we couldn't give a hoot what he has to offer.
  
  Then I would sit down and contemplate how stupid this country really is and why most of the world dislikes us.
  
  Then I would look up to the stars and ask a higher alien intelligence to please come here and show this country and the world how to treat people with respect.
  
  That is what I would do as president.

• I would stop pandering to the global warming industry and put all the money that is being wasted on this Big Lie into investing in the future.  That means free education for all.  Free computers, free books, free health care for all who choose to learn and can prove they actually are learning.  Invest billions of dollars in bright ideas and zero in dimwit climate change propaganda that only serves to make Al Gore even richer than he already is.

• I would move forward on a health care for all plan in much the same fashion as the Bush Administration moved on their Iraq agenda....not in a large, sweeping attempt to change the status quo, but a very covert approach to introduce changes in small measure, one or two at a time, while building a personal power base that will override any opposition by the end of my first term. At the same time, I would carefully construct a re-election team that would build a sure winning re-elction campaign "by any means necessary," so as to ensure I would return for a 2nd term to finish healthcare reform, in addition to my other priorities.

• First off, I would secure the borders, set term limits on Congress, charge for a bushel of wheat what we are charged for a barrel of oil, charge the other countries an import tax for the products they bring into our country(we're charged, why are we not charging them)?  AND....I would remind myself that America is a FREE country, founded on Christianity, and we are NOT socialist nor do we want to be!!

• On the first day I would announce "no more IRS". Let people have there earnings. It should have been this way anyway seeing that the income tax was supposed to be a temporary tax in the first place. Right after that would come the elimination of the Federal Reserve. Congress has the authority to have currency printed with no interest which is not in the case of the Federal Reserve, which means we pay back nothing for so called borrowing money. This money should be backed by gold anyway to maintain its real value. The last president that made the decision to have money printed using the US Treasury was John F. Kennedy and he printed $600 million and we all know what happened to him. Next would be the  ABC agencies, ie: CIA, NSA, CFR, ATF and so on. The CIA is only a cloak and dagger arm for the Army anyway, so rap it all up in one group. You want a stimulus plan.... Here you go. The Federal Reserve just misplaced $2 trillion which Bernanke says he doesn't know where it is. Instead of all these bailouts, why not let the American people have it back! It came from us anyway in the form of taxes paid and fiat money. Did you know we could pay off every Americans home mortgage for a smooth $600 billion and look at all the available money each household would have to spend on all the other items they normally wouldn't have purchased. Luxury items, boats, clothes, furniture, campers, computers, motorcycles and four wheelers and the list goes on. Tell me this wouldn't stimulate the economy and we would surely know exactly where the "money" went. There would even be some adventurous souls that would use this extra cash as venture capital to start up a new business and maybe become an employer. Who knows, the point is our Government is playing the American citizens as fools and we are still placing our trust with them. You watch, the next big thing will be the swine flu shots surfacing again. The agencies will tell us we must get the proper immunization shots and watch out for those who resist. The FEMA camps are standing ready and the newly added military arm of the police are poised to take action against its own citizens.

• If I were President I would repeal all f the Obama administrations socialist policies.  I would withm draw financial support to those counrtie that do not support the United States.  I would gradually cut the funding for other foreign countries by half and help them to exist on their own.
  
  I would put more border patrol and Natioanl Guardsmen at the borders.  Any businessess caught hiring Illegals would be punished, charging them with aiding amd abetting criminals.  If groups like La Raza or the ACLU tried to get involved I would have them investigated under RICO laws.  I would repeal the welfare laws and require that after six months of public welfare, if the recipeant did not have a job, place to stay and if self susfient, they would be taken off the dole.  If their were anyone on the welfare roles that needed it, they would have to be rescreened to continue and only for another six months, then all welfare would cease.
  
  If the courts handed down any decisions that is considered 'making laws' they would be over ridden.  I would remind them and all polititions that America is under the Constitution and going outside the Constitution would be treason.  Our military would be the best equipped and funded in the world and I would have them continue the fight on terrorism, using the General's in the feild as the policy makers.  These are just a few things I would do as President.  Let's just say this, abortion, homosexual marrages et al are not in the Constitution, these are states issues not the federal governments.  Basiclly the duties put forth in the United States Constitution concerning federal government would be upheld.

• I would end the "war on drugs", bring the troops home from ALL of the countries that we have set up permanent military bases in, defend our borders, enforce immigration law, cut off benefits to illegal aliens, abolish the income tax and the IRS and the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank, leave states alone, leave farmers alone, demand an independent audit of all federal agencies, do some serious house cleaning in the FDA and the CDC, allow farmers to cultivate certified THC free hemp.

• first i like to think the American people for putting there trust in me to bring in a new era of leadership, prosperity, and most importantly peace, not only to my beloved United States Of America but hopefully the world!. Now what i will do about these issues that face America today? First and for most enough about our former president and the mess he's gotten us into we have to deal with the here and now 1.) we have to pull us troops out of Iraq now!, the question is how do we get out safely and responsibly? we take a look at the situation on the ground in Iraq today and work around it, there is still somewhat killing going on so pulling all the troops out at the same time at this very second would be a mistake, but keeping them in there any longer would be a mistake also, so i would sit down with the leaders of Iraq and discuss ways in which there Government an military can quickly start to take over there country our troop had no business being there in the first place, but since our brave men and women in uniform are serving there country when they are called they need not be there any longer!. I believe the Iraqi soldiers are well train enough to secure their country, now i and the Iraqi leaders can go to the united nation and work something out like have a peace keeping force securing the boarders, a temporary united nation police force would be an option, ways to help get there government up and effectively running so that they may finally have the freedoms that the world hungers for. so i as that is taking place I'm discussing the time table that our troops would be leaving and i would push for a year or less, they will have to understand this and take responsibility for their own country . 2.) The issue with our economy and how i will start to fix some of it if not most of it in my two turns? were in dept and it will take time to get out of it, now first we have to cut taxes that just common sense why raise taxes when people barely have money to pay for anything, people are losing there jobs, home, and everything else, so raising taxes is a no no!, second work with the American people we've been running around belling this company that company throwing money every where but at the American people nobody is really listening to the the back bone of this country we must ease the mines of the people, we need to create jobs lots of job now!, next we to give the people discounts in every since of the word wither it be grants like housing grants, food grants, car loan that don't need to be paid back for like lets say a year, let bail the people out of this recession the way we create job is easy there lots of homeless people that need a place to sleep, war veterans having no place to go i will not have it!, more schools!, education is were its at, . Im tired .
