Oh, where TO begin?! I would start by repealing the provisions in the 2012 NDAA that allow our military to arrest and detain American citizens without due process, stop SOPA/PIPA in its tracks and eliminate our free-trade agreement, bringing more work back to this nation and working to strengthen and rectify the economy. Marijuana would become legal and its sale and distribution monitored much like the way tobacco and alcohol are -- not to mention with marijuana legal, it would provide new jobs, lessen the prison population AND it would save, give or take, about $7.7 billion A YEAR (http://on-msn.com/MA3E9R). In fact, my main goal would probably be to limit the government's interference in the lives of the people significantly... I'm talking Articles of the Confederation limited.

I would end all Congressional pensions & health care plans, making it retroactive. Replace those with Social Security and Medicare. Limit of 1 term for the Senate and 2 terms for the House. End all foreigh aid to everybody. Only allow 1 welfare payment per child per women, with a maximum of 1 year of welfare for unmarried women. Bring all of our troops home, and seal our border with Mexico. And much more.

I'd work toward Abolishing the Federal Reserve, Repeal the NDAA/Patriot Act, Send troops home from all wars and stop foreign aid to all Countries. I'd end the war on drugs and legalize Marijuana. I would put our Troops on our borders, I'd cut at least $1 Trillion in Gov. wasteful spending and mal-investment. I'd cut the EPA, DOE, TSA...

I'd reduce the Federal Income tax to 0%, Repeal Obamacare and fix Medicare or fix the current system.

Hell,

I'd be Ron Paul.

It's a balancing act.... too much regulation stifles business growth, too little leads to abuse. I do not have the answer to where the balance point is......but it certainly isn't being used

Below is a list of ideas I have about bringing the economy back to life.

"The first step I’d take would be to surround myself with individuals who are experts in their respective fields and who share my vision and goals and then ….. Listen, exchange, and act.

Just another was to say I'd surround myself with others smarter than me, sadly, that would be the easy part

I would lower the regulatory barriers, streamline permit processes, and lower the tax rate for businesses that invest in:

** Research & Development

** Business Expansion within the US borders

** Hiring of 10 or more employees

** Offer or significantly expand employee health benefits

** Proven improvements in Safety record

** Cut spending across the board (including the Military)

I understand the need to have military bases in certain parts of the world and the vital role they play in keeping the stability in certain regions, yet it’s also important to realize that most future conflicts will be dealt with, for the most part; from the air, at times using unmanned technology with capabilities for rapid response and deployment during ...

Considering this, do we really need the personnel when these battles are fought on a high definition monitor?

I believe we are over extended in some countries that do not share our interests or goals. Give them a heads-up that we will be phasing out and they will need to fend for themselves.

With this in mind, I would close most foreign bases and cease financing these countries that have enjoyed a free ride at our expense. Also part of this step is the resignation from the United Nations and the closing of all associated buildings, structures, and expulsion of all UN diplomats

Now let’s talk about round two……………………………….

The President grew up as an underprivileged black child. Worked his way through school to get himself the best education possible. Became a teacher so he could help educate others then work his way up to the highest office in the nation and you can't stand it. I find that hilarious.
