If I Were President

If I Were President

The platform I would run on and what I would seek to do.

1) Cut the U.S. federal budget deficit by 50% each year. (This assumes the annual U.S. deficit is running at about one trillion dollars a year when I take office). 1st Year -250 billion dollars in budget cuts, 250 billion dollars in new revenue Mainly through economic growth (see #6) 2nd Year-125 billion in budget cuts, 125 billion dollars in new revenue

Cut federal education spending, agricultural subsidies, targeted, not general infrastructure spending, all “corporate welfare”, lifetime limits on welfare benefits and federal unemployment benefits. Steadily raise eligibility ages for retirement programs. Freeze federal civil servant hiring.

_________________________________________________________________ ________________

2) Cut the number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. each year by 50% before I leave office. Enforce existing immigration laws. Build better border security. Help Mexican economy especially in the border regions. Work with employers in Labor intensive industries to introduce more mechanization.

3) Cut the number of elective abortions performed in the U.S. each year by 50% before I leave office. Give states incentives to lower number of abortions locally by whatever means they are able to implement- Use media to marginalize and stigmatize abortion Impose tough (but politically reasonable) regulations on when, where and how abortions are conducted, Streamline federal adoption regulations dramatically. Make adoption radically cheaper for prospective parents.

4) Grow the U.S. economy by 50% before I leave office. (5.2% a year). (MOST vital) A) Freeze and rollback of regulations (except for emergencies) B) Vast tax code broadening and simplification-including Social Security C) Government/industry partnership on things like refinery building & nuclear power plant construction, open nuclear waste storage facility D) Emphasize a strong dollar-possibly higher interest rates. E) Push free trade in targeted areas using reciprocal trade agreements. F) Strong federal investment into research & development G) Heavily promote trade with African nations. H) Promote dramatic growth in domestic fossil fuels production

______________________________________________________________________________

5) Increase Americans purchasing power by 36% before I leave office. (4% a year) mainly by holding down increases in prices of health care and education Make gasoline less subject to extreme price fluctuations by 12.5 or 25 cent federal Tax increase annually, eliminate over the road diesel fuel taxes


6) Commit the U.S. to 4% for Freedom- Defense spending at a minimum of 4% of GDP. Maintain 12 U.S. Army divisions & 4 armored cavalry regiments, 12 Carrier Battle Groups. 400 naval vessels, 165 heavy bombers, 1,800 nuclear weapons (including 200 new ICBMs & 9 SSBNs with 16 missiles each) 2,700 USAF combat aircraft available, 4,000 ABMs, make a serious commitment to U.S. civil defense against both attacks & natural disasters. Including Comprehensive protection against EMP attacks & CME events, and comprehensive preparations to prevent & recover from cyber-attacks. Triple the number of U.S. mine warfare vessels and the U.S. offensive mine inventory.

______________________________________________________________

7) Commit the U.S. to launching 3 manned space missions and 1 unmanned exploratory mission each year. Manned would include four manned missions to Mars, eight manned Lunar missions, & two manned missions to asteroids. Remainder (10) would be long duration (180-300 day) orbital missions. Unmanned includes 1) Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter, 2) Neptune Orbiter, 3) Horizons II (Uranus)-possibly piggyback a Uranus orbiter on a second TAU mission (see below) 4) Thousand Astronomical Unit (TAU) with Pluto orbiter aboard, 5) Solar Sample Return, 6) Venus Multi Site Lander/Sample Return, 7) Mercury Rover, 8) Titan Orbiter/Rover. Also develop manned rated nuclear propulsion systems. Nuclear thermal, VASIMIR, and/or nuclear salt water rockets. Build & deploy a space telescope capable of closely imaging Earth like extra solar planets.

Develop & build a new Shuttle system closely along the lines of the original STS system design. 3-5 orbiters __________________________________________________________________________________

Cut the number of U.S. Cabinet level departments by 25% Eliminate 1) Homeland Security 2) Veterans Affairs 3) Education 4) Energy 5) Agriculture 6) Commerce 7) Labor Interior 9) Labor

9) In foreign policy, emphasize naval/air power and surgical ground strikes. Push for a global ban on all unmanned nuclear weapons delivery platforms of more than 2,500-mile (4,000 kilometer) range and for a global ban on all nuclear weapons with yields greater than 100 kilotons. Verified through unscheduled onsite inspections. A global ban on all weapons sales and transfers would be a great idea.

This would be a very good legacy to leave America by any means. I will pray for it.

Unstated agenda

1. Build and deploy a total of 9 combination large hospital/search & rescue ships. Station one(1) in the western Indian Ocean, one(2) in the eastern Indian Ocean, one(3) in the south Atlantic Ocean, one(4) in the western Pacific Ocean, and one(5) in the south eastern Pacific Ocean. Four additional ones are available for emergency overseas deployment or refit and training cycles. This allows the U.S. to respond quickly to natural disasters in Africa, Asia, South America, and the Indian subcontinent. Note, these large hospital/search & rescue ships would also be massively useful in the United States in the event of a massive EMP or CME event.

2. Build a number of nuclear reactors aboard barges that can connect to various points of the U.S. power grid in an emergency. Including high capacity desalination plants aboard might be a good idea as well.

3. Drastically increase funding for the Humane Society and/or the ASPCA. Determine which organization is better at helping prevent and alleviate cruelty to dogs, cats, horses and other animals.

4. Create a Federal Broadcasting System (FBS). Basically, a government run television network available online as well with original programming designed (subtly if necessary) to promote good values and conduct among the American people.

5. Build the Rapid Roadway/Runway Repair Vehicles to assist in the repair and maintenance of public highways and airport runways around the United States.

6. Build and deploy the Firecat fire break building excavator system in wildfire prone areas of the United States.

7. Revitalize the U.S. fleet of aerial firefighting tankers.

8. Build and deploy five or six advanced U.S. ice breakers to the Arctic Ocean. Create an “8th Fleet” of the U.S. Navy specialized for Arctic operations. This is to deal with future expansionism plans in the region by the Russians as well as protect and promote U.S. interests in the Arctic Ocean.

9. Create an advanced armored regiment of no more than 6,500 troops with integral air support that can be easily air or sea lifted to a trouble spot within 48 hours that is fully capable of defeating a conventional military force numbering up to 50,000 troops in size.

10. Create small but advanced light armored regiments of no more than 2,000 troops with air support capable of providing security for humanitarian and relief forces in dangerous regions with minimal support. Develop at least eight of these units and base two in Africa, two in the Middle East and one in Southeast Asia. Three at large.

11. Make it the unofficial (though very real) policy of the United States that whenever another country kills large numbers of its own citizens, the U.S. will destroy without word or warning the largest military base of that nation completely with massive air strikes. No admission or even acknowledgement of the attack given.

12. Construct and deploy an average of 500 ABMs annually (total of at least 4,000 over 8 years). Also deploy comprehensive antisatellite weapons systems.

13. Radically increase funding for nature preserves and natural habitat zoos. Acquire natural habitat territory in regions of Africa, Asia, and South America.

14. Force the United Nations to remove its headquarters from New York City. Istanbul, Geneva, Vienna, or Singapore would be some possible alternatives.

15. Store emergency equipment to restore the U.S. power grid in the case of a massive EMP attack or CME event well outside the U.S. in somewhere like Diego Garcia. Include emergency communications equipment and vehicles.

16. Use various means to encourage Americans to return to following New Testament based morality and Christianity and being a good example and positive influence on the remainder of the world in like manner.

17. Eliminate puppy and kitten mills as well as other things in the U.S. that encourage the abuse and maltreatment of animals. Use social pressure heavily.

18. Have the GOP convention that renominates me at Verizon Arena in North Little Rock. I can stay conveniently in the nearby Clinton Presidential Library. This is one of my “gifts” to Arkansas.

19. Two other “gifts” to Arkansas would be a large refinery in Eastern Arkansas as well as a large amusement park in East Arkansas.

20. Wage all out war on pornography in all its forms using the full power of the U.S. federal government to do so. Keep it under the radar early on if necessary.

 

I would run on ending the Federal Reserve, re-establishing JFK-style Civil Defense and colonizing space.

 

Good ideas. Though I mentioned rejuvenated Civil Defense (has applications for natural disasters as well) and space exploration.

 

why where screwing up royally here on this planet, why cause more chaos out their? pissing off a superior alien race that thinks where nuts.

 

#1 means you can't do #7.

#8, really you'd eliminate the Department of Veteran's Affairs? I guess vets just get to starve. **** 'em, right?

Oh and this: "12. Construct and deploy an average of 500 ABMs annually (total of at least 4,000 over 8 years). Also deploy comprehensive antisatellite weapons systems."

Yeah. that's a great idea. Let's give Russia and China existential threats to their existence and put them in a "use them or lose them" situation.

Why do you want the government to enforce your subjective conservative morality on people? Why do you hate freedom so much?

 

the human race is a sitting duck for a myriad of disasters, confined as we are to this single spec of dust hurling through the meatgrinder of a universe, hostile aliens one possible threat among thousands. our biggest threat, currently, is ourselves, fighting over power and resources. There is an infinite supply of resource out there and far too much vastness for any one power to hope to keep control. Humanity will stagnate here. We need to spread off this world to acheive our potential.

 

we might also start a world war over a planet we all want first, the race to it could be the catalyst to it, our potential so far is war and over population and environmental destruction, we don't need anymore potential like that on another planet.. ​

 

I don't recall much about Veterans starving before they made it a cabinet level department

 

Wouldn't the Russians and Chinese be deterred from using their nuclear weapons as they are supposedly right now?

 

If you were President we'd all be ****ed...more than we are now

 

i never woulda figured you an anti-humanist... humans are not a virus. tyrants are. space is the new frontier

 

Running on rewriting the US immigration policy, thus creating a more friendly immigration environment, cutting more than half the resources ICE has by the time I lesve office would be one. Funds saved by laying off ICE agents and vehicles would allow for funding a more friendly, immigration system.

Emphasize on the need to have regulations in order to keep society in check, for example the nutrition labels on foods and drinks. Create regulation that ensures cleaner air, reduces carbon emissions, and so forth .

Eliminate the DEA and set a limit on how much insurance and pharma companies can charge for prescription drugs, and penralixe those companies if they exceed that limit. Decriminalize all drugs on a federal level, making each sale taxable to increase income for states.

 

So you're opposed to me because you'd have more sex than before? Oddest criticism I've ever gotten....

 

Isn't it funny that Conservatives never tell you the truth about Abortions when Democrats are in charge.

But please, carry on with the Lie ... I'm sure the uneducated will bite.


Abortion rate declines to historic low, with Obamacare a likely contributor, study says

The U.S. abortion rate has hit its lowest point since the procedure became legal nationwide in 1973, according to a new study.

The researchers estimated that there were 926,200 abortions in 2014, or 14.6 abortions for every 1,000 women of reproductive age. That was down 14% from three years earlier.

“We saw declines in abortion in almost every single state,” said Jenna Jerman, a public health researcher at the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights think tank in New York, and coauthor of the study published Tuesday in the journal Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health.

Though the study did not look at the reasons for the decline, the authors and other experts suggested that improved access to contraception played a big role by preventing unintended pregnancies.

If I were American and if I were President ... I will change the color of the White House. I would make it become the "Yellow House".

Humor a part [but that's not a bad idea!], the main problem of the US system today is the public debt. The last administration, stimulus after stimulus, have increased it in an incredible way [I could say in a "Italian way"]. Italian like public expense in US has been something really curious.

So my first step would be to reduce public expense and to cut taxes [otherwise I would make a disaster in the opposite direction!].

The second step would be to link NATO membership to the contribution of the members [don't you contribute to NATO budget enough? Don't think you're a so strategic ally ...].

Just to begin ...

 

Who "ONLY 914,200!!!". Probably 900,000 too many. And given even the researchers didn't give any reasons for the so called decline, you of course attributed it to Obamacare.

 

Guess Who's Body YOU personally have Control over ... YOURS and YOURS ONLY!

Period, End of Debate

 

So you aren’t calling for eliminating the entire department?

 

Not when their choices are attempt to win a nuclear war right now or be completely open to nuclear attack with no ability to retaliate in 4 years.

Or they’ll deploy hair trigger nuclear weapons (like FOBS) that ABMs can’t stop or deploy an all aspect nuclear cruise missile that is too fast to intercept a la Project Pluto. Either option would make the world less safe.

 

Reduce it back to agency status. The agency was elevated to department status at about the time that millions of World War Two era veterans were entering retirement age with of course vastly increased demands for medical services and et cetera.

Needless to say we don't have now and probably never will have millions of veterans all "aging out" simultaneously no matter what war the U.S. fights in the future.

 

ABMs are fully capable of intercepting a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System. And shooting down cruise missiles is easy.

 

Agency under what? The DoD where it won’t be anywhere near the top 10 priorities and its funding will get laid by the wayside?

 

Shooting down a nuclear powered cruise missile moving at better than Mach 10 is anything but easy.

And you have to detect FOBS in order to intercept it. When Russia has 800 warheads in orbit over America each with less than 2 minutes between activation and detonation, there’s not a lot of time to intercept anything.

 

Are you claiming this was a problem in the past?

 

the U.S. can destroy any nuclear warheads launched into orbit the moment they are leave the pad virtually. And putting nuclear warheads would be a long standing treaty violation. A fully functioning ABM system is not.

Also in order for these hypothetical "800 nuclear warheads" to be in orbit above the U.S. at the same time they have to be in geosynchronous orbit or more than 22,000 miles away. Which puts them a lot more than two minutes from de orbiting to detonation.
