I'll agree to that **IF** the US brings all it's troops back onto American Soil, and do productive things, like patrol our borders. If an act of war is perped on American soil, once the perpetrators are tracked down, we Hiroshima the fuck out of the country that they came from. Period.


February: All illegals will be rounded up at gunpoint and deported. Anyone caught crossing the border other than at manned checkpoints with immigration papers in hand are shot, regardless of age/sex/disability/religion.


March: All golf courses are razed and new housing is put up, employing people who will live in them. Habitat for Humanity x apartment complexes.


April: All persons purchasing a computer must pass a minimum competancy test. All persons owning a computer must also pass this test within 6 months or give their computer to a school of their choice.


May: All persons on death row that have been verified as guilty by way of DNA evidence or admission of guilt are to be executed by May 7. All prisons will remove televisions, exercise equipment, inmate computer access and conjugal visits. All inmates incarcerated for marijuana offenses will be released. All heavier use offenders will be released on the understanding that if they are caught with even paraphenalia, they will be relegated to the new prison system, which means prison with no visitation, in solitary confinement cells of 15ft x 15ft, with one hour in a 10ft x 10ft walled yard per day. Meals will be delivered 3x per day and will consist of welfare recipient food. No interaction with other inmates will be given. Prison will be something you don't want to go to again.


June: Under no circumstances will any athlete be paid over $50,000 a year + medical benefits.


July: The Electoral College/Voting system will be changed. All persons with a drivers license will be required to vote, whether that is online from home or at an online voting kiosk. If they fail to vote, their drivers license will be revoked until the election they decide to participate in. Any persons driving on a revoked license will be put in prison for one month and will not be eligible for a drivers license. Ever. Subsequent offenses will result in 3 month extensions to the prison time, (ie 2nd offense 4 months, 3rd = 7 months, 4th = 10 months). In addition, I like the $1,000 idea, and candidate reforms will be put in place before this is put in place.


August: Electric/Solar/Methane/other alternative cars will be made available for sale at the same price as other cars in their body/class. Within 3 years, gasoline cars will no longer be available for sale, and oil will no longer be a priority for the nation.
In addition, other earth-friendly alternatives to energy production will be put into operation within 3 years.


September: All companies with employees overseas will pay $1,000 per employee overseas per month to the welfare fund.
Jobs will be created in the government sector (ie DMV, welfare offices, disability offices, immigration offices, etc to reduce wait times and unemployment.)


October: A fund will be set up for all people within 10 years of retirement, already retired and/or on disability, who will be paid $1000 a month from said fund upon retirement/disability. All funds not used upon death will be put into the common fund after simple burial/cremation has been paid for.

The remaining persons working will have elective deductions from their paychecks made and placed into a fund for their own use (not a common fund, more like a savings account). This will not be taxed, will not earn interest, and may be used at any time, but once it's gone, it's gone, and if you retire and you've used up your personal fund, too damn bad. Better have been good to your kids. No welfare will be given to persons not working or not in school, and maintaining a "c" average.


September: No more credit cards will be issued, no new charges will be accrued, and as credit cards are paid off the accounts will be closed. At no time will interest on remaining accounts be accrued in excess of 5%. Once a credit card company has no open accounts, it will be disbanded.


I'm sure I can come up with 3 more to get me assassinated.
