You are the boss of America



Anyway, let's assume that YOU have been given ultimate authority to order steps which you believe will move the country in a positive direction.
Whatever you mandate WILL happen, and all necessary steps to accomplish what you say WILL take place.
No dissent, and no vote from anyone else within this country will be needed.
What you say happens.

What 3 domestic steps would you mandate, and what 3 foreign policy decisions would you make ... ?


What six moves are you going to make .... ?

For me:

1. Culture - Liberal Supreme Court Justices would be immediately replaced with conservative judges.Of critical importance would be appointing those who understand the words written in the first amendment. and Repeal all gun control laws, no matter how lenient


2. Borders - Use all necessary resources to build the wall on the southern border ASAP. In the mean time, as many military and guard units as possible need to be stationed at the border with orders to shoot to kill. The open border is KILLING this country. We need to seal the country as best we can. Ports, airports, immigration laws, etc ....

3. Language - English only. Nothing governement sponosored will be dual language. Private businesses can do as they please, but anything the gov's hands are on is english only.

Foreign:

1. Eliminate the UN- it serves no useful purpose

2. Offer a deal to China: They topple & take over the government of North Korea, and we pull all our troops out of South Korea.

3.Take out the goverments of Iran and Syria

[Green Lantern]

I would mandate:

1) This power be never be allowed to be given to anyone else in history.

2) This power to cease at my resignation from office.

3) My resignation to be effective at the time a put I period at the end of this sentence.

King George asked Jefferson, " What will your General Washington do, now that he as won?".

Jefferson replied, " Well, he will go back to his farm." to which the king quipped,

"If he does that, he will be the greatest man in history."


Blow my chance by giving back Ultimate Power to the People?

You are not a very good American, I think.

You could nationalise health care and make the rich pay there fare share.

And how are you giving back ultimate Power to the People by walking away ?

Uppy,

I am not smart enough OR responsible enough to use that kind of power wisely. I know this about myself. Thankfully, our Founders knew it too.

You are not smart enough to know what good is. This is why you should never have such enormous power.

[TigerJ]

I would want to do something like "end all corruption: pollitical and corporate," but then that's not really practical. You can't do that by decree. I think one thing I would be tempted to do is end all prok barrel spending, but again, the challenge is in how to do it since not everyone even agrees on what is pork barrell and what isn't. In the end, I'm not sure that there three simple decrees that would make that huge a difference

It's pretty difficult to narrow one's focus to three domestic and three foreign policy issues only.

Can I spend the first day getting a hummer from a female intern in the oval office while I think about it?

3. Sabres get to pick any 6 players off anybodies roster each year if needed.

voting because of the "Motor Voter Act " would you rid the country from
that ?

I believe each citizen should vote, and that vote should count once, and it should be counted and voted the same way no matter where you are, with the exception of being overseas.

[dilbert]

1. Fold the Miami Dolphins
2. Deport Tom Brady to Mongolia

For Me:
(Domestic)

1. Restore the Constitutional Republic: I mean if I woke up one day and was the vozhd (Boss, as Stalin was known) I would realize that something terribly wrong has occurred and therefore I would instantly restore the power of the congress and the supreme court. Not to mention the constitution and checks and balances as well as a division of power

2. Establishment of a welfare State: Thats right I would have universal healthcare, low cost education, protection of social security, public housing, UI protection, job training, repeal of bankruptcy "reform", dismantling of a privately owned federal reserve, increased government regulation of trade and industry, enhancement of civil rights legislation to prevent the government from dictating the actions of consenting adults

3. Close the frontiers to Canada and Mexico: Do I agree with Uppy? Yes, I oppose illegal immigration but do support and say the future of the nation depends on legal immigration.

International

1) Reduction of military presence abroad to just four bases of operation: FOBs in Germany (for rapid response to threats emanating from Europe), Japan (to keep China, Russia, and North Korea in Check, The Maldives (to patrol central and south Asia), Qatar (to monitor Southwest Asia) I would station about 100 fighters, 10 to 20 bombers, a flotilla, and 1 combined arms division in each forward base).

2) Withdraw from the UN and establish a League of Democratic States.

3) Let the EU defend itself.

[shiva2999]

Do you realize what it would take to close the frontier with Canada?

[uppy]

its easy all we need to do is anex your country. :)

1 and 2 are in direct conflict with one another.

3. Sabres get to pick any 6 players off anybodies roster each year if needed.

this is the best post so far coming in a close 2nd is Dilbert's post #19.

:bills:

[Gibby]

1 and 2 are in direct conflict with one another.

promote the general welfare, promote the general welfare. I am sure the courts could find that the congress has the power to do these under the commerce clause.

[comericatigers]

Domestic Policy:
1. Fix Welfare Services--Yes we still need them but I'm tired of generational welfare
2. Tap into our oil resources (limited I know), severely limit our foreign consumption of oil, and promote/fund alternative energy. (I wrote on this in the past)
3. Destroy NAFTA

Foreign Policy
1. If we do Domestic #2, gradually pull out of the Middle East. We don't need those ass holes anymore and they can continue killing each other in droves.
2. Figure out trade imbalance with China--out of control. They are also holding U.S. money hostage which really hurts our bargaining power.
3. Could be domestic but I'll put it here--Close the Mex-America Border.

generational welfare. The same families being on welfare generation after generation.

[Gibby]

generational welfare. The same families being on welfare generation after generation.

I think Slick Willy stamped that out. You're about a decade too late.

[nehemiah]

generational welfare. The same families being on welfare generation after generation.welfare "reform" happened in 1996.

1. I'd reaffirm the supremacy of the constitution and make it a capital offense to "re-interpret it for the times".

2. I'd toss the Bush administration in jail.

3. I'd dissolve the CIA completely. Raze it to the ground a rebuild a smaller, more ethical organization with no black budgets.

1a. I'd lecture everyone on the virtue of charity.

2a. I'd sign the Pete Doctrine. The United States will never engage in offensive military action. Then gut the military to a standing Navy and national guard units for defense of the states only.

3a. I'd make case law boil down to one single law, and if you are found to be in violation of it you go to jail. No time off for good behavior. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

[35Pete]

Ohh Ohh.

I'd also abolish the IRS and property taxes, institute across the board tariffs and excise taxes as well as a flat national sales tax with exemptions for food, clothing, medical care, and transportation. I'd re-affirm the sanctity of property rights, and I'd nationalize the Federal Reserve immediately, with elected officials on the board, an open book sunshine policy where any citizen could attend their meetings (just like SCOTUS) and make excessive usury a federal crime. I would eliminate the fiat money system, and demand an accounting of where the gold in Fort Knox went. We'll need it back for our hard asset backed currency system.

I'd also enforce, and here is where anEin and I will argue, a prohibition of corporate board members to cross-sit on the boards of other companies. To me that's an unfair "good old boys network" of excessive influence that can have no good come of it.

[35Pete]

1. Fold the Miami Dolphins
2. Deport Tom Brady to Mongolia

That's tyranny Dilbert.

A compromise perhaps?

I'd move them to Bismark, North Dakota.

The Bismark Dolphins. Has a nice ring to it.

[mikgaes]

The modus operandi should be to strengthen the working class that built this country and made it what it was. Ala FDR. Therefore...

1) Increase import tariffs to 3x what they are now.

2) Deport all illegals and tighten the border by any means feasible.

3) Tax breaks to the middle and lower middle class based on work-related incentives. And tax breaks to employers who take care of the long-term health and welfare of their employees (reinstate pensions, employer healthcare options).

Internationally:

1) Get out of the ME and stop with this imperialization attempt. Leave those people alone.

2) Increase import tariffs.

3) Foster peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. Give the Palestinians a place to call home.

After all that, institute aquaman's plan posthaste.

I disagree. It stifles trade and takes away consumer choices. No one has a federal obligation to "buy American".


2) Deport all illegals and tighten the border by any means feasible.

Indeed.

3) Tax breaks to the middle and lower middle class based on work-related incentives. And tax breaks to employers who take care of the long-term health and welfare of their employees (reinstate pensions, employer healthcare options).

Eliminate property and income taxes completely. National sales tax and a corporate profit tax with loopholes eliminated. Realize 600 billion in savings by gutting the military.

Internationally:

1) Get out of the ME and stop with this imperialization attempt. Leave those people alone.

Excellent.

2) Increase import tariffs.

Trade war coming...

3) Foster peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. Give the Palestinians a place to call home.

Very nice.

After all that, institute aquaman's plan posthaste.

All this tax cutting will lead to more borrowing from the Fed.

1. No penalties ever called against the Bills or Sabres again.

2. Bills get the 1st 6 draft picks for the next century and can afford them.

3. Sabres get to pick any 6 players off anybodies roster each year if needed.

My original list included:#1 The elimination of the IRS.

no borrowing allowed then.

also who ever we owe the money we tell them the check's in the mail forever.

we forgive ourselves all our debt.
