There is a ton of debates about Bush and his politics but people always forget to say what they would do...
So if you were elected President in 2006 what would you do about the big issues(economics, safety of the U.S, Iran, NK, illegal immigration etc...)(I know it isn't until 08 but we have no idea what will happen in such a long period of time, the world cam change drastically in a matter of seconds as we all know from 9/11).
This is not meant to be a debate, I don't want anyone attacking someone elses ideas...if there is a flaw in their idea simply point it out in a constructive manner as opposed to saying "Your a moron, go jump off a bridge" or "Your even worse than Bush blah blah"
My ideas, not a ton of thought put into them so there will of course be problems with them.
National Security-
-Increase Military Budget with a large focus on R&D of common sense ideas, as opposed to building a very expensive waste of time
-Institute a standard of thriftiness, no more toilet seats for 800$(example)
-Drastically change the military academies, or set up a new one... There would be huge focus on effective and adaptive military strategy where results are what matters...We should be able to outsmart and outstrategize(is that a word) the enemy as opposed to following traditional military strategy in which we get killed.
-Set up new international agreements to replace the old Geneva Conventions and the like(they are way outdated)
-Ensure our soldiers have everything they need to succeed, no more sending them into battle half-armed.
-Establish a board of retired military coofftopicndeers electe by popular vote from others who have or are currently serving in the military. They will be an advisory council seperate from the government but still listened to....That way they can tell the American Public and the government if they are messing up and how to fix it.
-Increase recruitment, we can always use more soldiers
-Search incoming ships/containers as much as possible
-Copy the Israeli's tools of combating terrorism, an example would be their airplane security. Not suggesting we become a bigger Israel simply that we take what Israel has found to be effective and see if it would work for us
Illegal Immigration-
-Crack down on the Mexican Government, they are encouraging it and that is unacceptable
-Change the 14th amendment so everyone born in the U.S is not a citizen, this leads to people illegally entering the U.S having a child and then exploiting the amendment
-Punish corporations for employiing illegal immigrants...Make it so it is no longer cost effective, if there are no jobs in the U.S for ilelgal immigrants then they will no longer come
-Speed up Legal immigration, good citizens of other countries should be allowed to enter the U.S legally as opposed to waiting in line for dozens of years
-Illegals no longer get free medical treatment unless in case of an emergency in which we bill the country they immigrated from..unless those countries are complying with anti-illegal immigration polices.
-Build an effective border fence designed by actual experts who know what they are doing, if necessary the use of landmines in a "no mans land" in between two groups of fencing..the closest fence to the border will let everyone know landmines are past it.
-Have a national illegal immigration "registration", they need to prove they are good hard working citizens with plenty of references to back it up, take a lie detector test to prove they are not anti-american or criminals. Everyone will be fingerprinted, and have background checks. Those that "pass" all of this will be given a probational citizenship in which after 5 years of lawful behaviour will be replaced with permanent citizenship
-Those who become probational citizens will have to pay a fee which will go towards paying for border security(they will be able to pay as they will now be getting at least minimum wage as opposed to exploitative wages)
-English will become the national language, every child will learn it, Spanish and other languages will be relegated to secondary languages.
Economy-
-Establish a panel of economic experts that would be in charge of advising the government on stabalizing and ensuring the good health of the American economy which I would listen to and try to follow as best I could.
Limited Ideas as I am no economic expert
General Changes-
- Crack down on Congressional/related spending they waste to much of the taxpayers money
- Crack down on corruption amongst the government, no more taking bribes
- Regulate the lobbying business, McDonalds and Exxon Mobil should not have a bigger say than the average American. They should have a voice but they have been allowed a far to big voice.
-Legalize recreational drugs, marijuana is not a danger to health
-
Public Education-
- Increase budgets of public education, I know the effects personally as Minnesota has been cutting the school budgets annually and I have seen what it does
- Revamp the system, it doesn't work in general and is ineffective. We need to copy what other countries do since they consistantly "beat" us educational wise.
-Make higher education cheaper, a child should be allowed to go to college even if he cannot pay for it himself. Poor kids should always have the choice of college even if they cannot afford it themselves.
-Get rid of affirmative action, it is only hurting. Instead of discriminating as a means of "fixing" past discrimination we should get rid of it altogether. Your race should not have any matter in getting accepted to a college, nor should your sexuality, parents, background etc...
Iraq-
-Do what it takes to place that country in the best position to recover, fix their economy and infrastructure while supporting non-discriminatory groups.
-Do what it takes to set up a government able to operate without needing the U.S daily.
-Get a large amount of the force there out, send them back to Afghanistan where the Taliban are resurging.
-Improve civil rights, tell women if they are ever going to stand up for themselves then now is the time...if they do then support them and if they do not them give up because you cannot force someone to accept freedom
Iran-
-Kick Russia in the rear and make them stop aiding Iran
-Let the Iranian people know we don't care if they have nucleur energy we just do not want them to have a nucleur bomb for obvious reasons..Say it clearly as well, tell them in no uncertain terms we will not allow a country that calls us the "great satan" to get a nuke, we don't care what they use as power but they can not have a bomb
North Korea-
-Continue doing what we are doing, they are starving themselves to death and that is great for us.
-Put a nuke right next to the and let the world know that if NK nukes us we are willing to nuke them right back...and by world I mean the NK population as well. I would want them to know with 100% certainty that if they attack us we will demolish them.
Genocides in Africa-
-Here is where I would use my military force, I would go into those countries like Sudan and set up safety zones in which refugees can come if they need to
-Take out those committing the genocides, I wouldn't attempt to set up a government as that will come when the peopel want it. I would just kill anyone in power who decides to kill hundreds of thousands of innocents.
-Set up areas where starving people can come to get food and water
-Set up a few schools in which children can learn and help themselves
Aids/Cancer-
- I would get a group of scientists together and ask them why they are taking so long. They need to act more urgently, because every second they waste people are dying.
-Make sure money is not an issue, I imagine it is not since they are flooded with money...How much money does it take to find a cure?
Thats all I have so far, what would you do?(Cannot believe I just typed that much.
