Thinking I'll run for president. Simple platform actually.

1. Illegal immigration ends the day I take the oath of office.
2. Day 2; Dept of the Interior is dissolved
3. Day 3; National Park Service dissolved. All existing park lands turned over to states
4. Day 4; Dept of State defunded. We will no longer negotiate. If you screw with our national interests we will screw you back. Attack us directly or by proxy and we will nuke you.
5. Day 5; federal funding assistance for welfare is terminated.
6. Day 6. Federal subsidies to all economic activities terminate
7. Day 7; I go fishing
8. Day 8. The F35 program is cancelled. A10s, B2, upgraded F15/14/16 production begins. Battleship production resumes.
9. ...I'll be back. Tomorrow. Who wants to be SecDef? There will be no VP or SecState. We will withdraw from the UN and force its relocation elsewhere.

Posted By: APDDSN0864 Re: Hat in the ring. - 04/15/15
I will not vote for you. You have left out some vital things that need changing. You must be a liberal or you would have included these;

A. Eliminate the EPA
B. Eliminate the Dept. of Education
C. Eliminate the IRS
D. Impose a flat tax of 10% of gross earnings of individuals
E. Eliminate the BATFE
F. Enable Federal Agency Heads to fire employees on the spot
G. Eliminate Foreign Aid for anything other than humanitarian needs such as food, disaster relief, etc.
H. Disband DHS into its former component agencies
I. Seal the Borders.
J. Start immediate criminal investigations into treason charges against the current administration.

I'll think of more later, but this is a start.

Ed, dammit, I said I'd be back. My shootin' eye is impaired for a few more days.

A. Eliminate the EPA No. Industry needs at least one scapegoat.
B. Eliminate the Dept. of Education Yes, of kourse
C. Eliminate the IRS Eliminate? No, execute more than likely.
D. Impose a flat tax of 10% of gross earnings of individuals and corporations. Corporations are the same as people under the law.
E. Eliminate the BATFE See Item C amendment
F. Enable Federal Agency Heads to fire employees on the spot Yes.
G. Eliminate Foreign Aid for anything other than humanitarian needs such as food, disaster relief, etc.
H. Disband DHS into its former component agencies OK, but TSA goes with it.
I. Seal the Borders. Think I covered that already. For the record, all illegals will be transported to Novassa Island. Their home countries can pick them up if so inclined.

J. Start immediate criminal investigations into treason charges against the current administration. That process is too slow. My freind Roy Bean will handle those proceedings.

Impose term limits and do away with lifetime perks, insurance, and retirement for everyone in DC.

And by term limits I mean ONE six year term for all elected officials. Period.

How about a balanced budget ammendment? Not necessary. I'll veto any budget that does not generate a surplus.

Go back to the gold standard over time where money has some intrinsic value besides the paper it's printed on? If we get rid of paper it will make it tuff for thieves to run off with a big heist, no?

All members of Congress live by the same rules, regs, retirement, programs and health system as their constituents? No. Service as a political representative is an honor and duty. No retirement. One term limits. Benefits only when in office. Corruption is a capital offense.

National sales tax, no other form of Federal income taxes. That or the flat tax. Take your pick.

Self sufficiency for fossil fuels by 2020? I want fusion power by 2020. Electric motors generate more torque that gas I hear. 0-200 in a blink. It will put excitement back into commuting.

Declare national debt outside the US null and void? Nah, pay 'em off, cut the strings and let 'em whither. By the time government is downsized we'll have lots of spare change. Welching on debt is a crappy reason to go to war.

All but the Electoral College.

It was set up to give states like WY and MT a say. Without that set up, elections would be popular vote and the big Dem controlled, vote the dead, vote early/vote often, population centers would rule more than they currently do.

Campaign contributions go both ways...
