Close down many of the bases around the world. They cost too much to maintain.

Bring home our troops

The stimulus bill will be divided into cash money for all of the American families in america - 12,000 dollars a family it estimates to be

Small Business Grants would be given to families with the best ideas to run good trustworthy businesses again

Install laws that prohibit American businesses to hire slave labor wages in foreign countries and force their companies to build factories here in the states instead to create jobs to make our own toys, cars, and anything else that we have been getting cheaper from China, Malaysia, Vietnam, or Mexico

Get rid of the NAFTA - the only countries benefiting from this is Canada and Mexico

Create a universal health care that everyone can use and gets 100 percent covered without paying for it. Just raise the taxes by 2 percent instead.

Create College and Universities for everyone to attend. Raise additional 2 percent taxes so this could happen.

Health Care and Education shouldn't be a privilige but a neccessety for everyone

Send home all our troops to toughen border control so we don't get over 2 million illegal immigrants per year into our country working for pennies illegally from big mongul businesses. Make them close down their business if they are caught doing this. Money fine doesn't do much to these multi billion dollar businesses.

Change our teaching in schools. Teach fiscal responsiblities - how to deal with money, invest, save, etc., learn politics and how the government works, morale and ethic lessons, etc. Don't make it a quick course, but a repeated course every year until it is embedded in every students mind.

Get rid of the FDA and all of their scams and create a new agency that really controls our food so we don't get sicknesses like cholerea or salmonellen anymore

outlaw drugs that really do more harm to us then help us

make voting a must for every citizen in the nation

make presidential campaigns without the use of raising money so every candidate has equal chance. Have every television news broadcast allow presidents to campaign equally the same. The government pays for the costs, which is in the end paid by the people.

create stricter tax laws to foreign products or have the same equal laws as they put onto our products when exporting. They tax us more for our products to go into their countries then we do them when they get into our country. This hurts our businesses.

fix our infrastructure. Sewages, water ratings, bridges and roads are all in D ratings. Let us fix them to get it back to at least B ratings.

If we ever go into a war again then only if the country in trouble pays us the money to cover the costs of the war and some profits. And only if Congress approves it.

Pay back our 1.2 trillion deficit by adding an additional 2 percent taxes

Increase the minimum wage equivalent to the costs of our goods. I think we still have minimum wages equivalent to the 70's. This would have to be researched for its accuracy to make it fair for the average family.

If a President gets a below 25 Percent rating then he is automatically fired. A new presidential campaign is then taken immediately.

If a president gets a 90 percent rating on his second term then he can rerun a third term for president.


I guess this would sound like a communist or socialist country wouldn't it??? lollaugh

It is probably why I am not a politician in this countrydrinker

Ok, here is my plan.

I would bail out the people! All that money they gave away to the banks should have been given out to the People and more! Hell with the banks! The banks will get money if

-I give a really nice sum of money for everyone who needs it.

Pay off your loans, catch up with bills, go shopping, buy a car, whatever.



-Eventually the money would go upward, because the banks would get money from you paying off the bills, stores would make profit, since you are buying stuff and you feel happy and comfortable again!

let's say 40,000 dollar per family or single people 25,000 bucks, for a start? bigsmile

Then even if the economy is "helpless" at least everyone deserves to go out with a bang! Yeah, go get that BMW or go to the Bahamas for 2 weeks, I don't care, let's party before the thing collapses!

l'd try and do all things good for us all..make promises til...I got that all too little known fact of the President being taken aside and given all that secret info that only the President gets...may change a few things.

Then if what I wanted was still do-able...I would have to get it by all those people that make it happen. Nothing is as cut and dried as we would like to think.

For starters, I and all other Politicians would do the job for minimum wage, spending money, and provide a reasonable allowance for living expenses, travel, meals, housing. With strict limits and guidelines. Yearly bonus, voted on by the Citizen, for a job well done. If they sluffed or tried to screw ya', you could vote, no bonus.
I'd have all staff, drug and alcohol tested.
Select a watchdog team to keep tabs and prosecute any Politician taking bribes, kickbacks or anything offered by special interests.
Cut the fat the politicians are taking in, would make a pretty good dent in the slump.

End the overseas empire.
End the Federal Reserve system.
End the IRS.
End the CIA, consolidate all other "intelligence" agencies into one system, ran by the Military, but with a Congressional oversight panel.
End fiat currency, return this nation to a commodity based currency model and remove Government hands from the market, except in cases where a product is doing harm.
End the law that allows Corporations the same rights as a person.
End the law that allows genetically modified life to be patented.
End the Expensive and failed drug war.
Protect the borders.

Hows that for a first 100 days?

What would you do? How would you do different than Obama? What would you change and how would you deal with the economy crisis?


I would suspend ALL taxation for 6 months...individuals would pocket every dime they make...which would in turn...allow them to pay down some of their debt...at this point in time...there are so many people...just making enough to pay the bills on their homes...at the expense of their credit card...it's either the house...or...the cards...but...in far too many homes it can't be both...corporations would keep churning tax free...reinvesting as needed...all capital gains would be suspended...which in turn would spark...an economic explosion...the less the governmet does...the better...as far as Obama goes...I would stay off the fuggin' TV...and..STOP using scare tactics...to promote and push a left wing radical agenda...:smile:

Let's do a little math.
Some people already pay zero taxes.--The poor and those working for min wage. This means your plan would not help them at all.
Then there are those unemployed due to the economy. How would this help them? No tax-money to pay unemployment benefits, no money to pay their rent or mortgages. No help at all.
Sounds to me like a help me philosophy. The same kind that got us into this mess in the first place.
The only ones your plan would help are the rich, and brother that's been proven it wont trickle down.


How about you just buck-up, quit whining, and help those who arent as fortunate.

Gio's plan would. LMAO
There would be no money to pay you or millions of others.
The gov would be forced to write IOU's for 6 months as the deficit grew even more.
But he would benefit, no doubt, or he wouldn't have even suggested it.

Tax's dont go towards unemployment benifits, employers pay into a fund that covers unemployment.
