Announce what your plans would be if/when you are elected President of the United States (Canada can play too but the exercise is less fun when you don't have a military to speak of).

Here is my "Seven Star Plan to Eliminate the Undesirables Humanly and Appease Those Obnoxious Hippies". I feel this plan is the solution to all of our domestic worries.

Step One) Relocate all military operations to the northeast and northwest.

Step Two) Strip Southern and Midwestern states of state status and allow them to form new country

Step Three) invade Midwestern states and force all residents to south

Step Four) Give Midwestern states to the Indians and Animals and stuff (Hippies MUST relocate or risk the de-cannabisation of their persons)

Step Five) Invade Southern country and outlaw the Southern Baptist Church and enact Islam as the state religion just to spite them.

Step Six) Place explosives along the border of the Southern Country and perform controlled demolition, creating a chasm between our two nations.

Step Seven) Push the new island nation out to sea and as far the fuck away from us as possible. Paddles will be provided.

1) Aim all projectile weaponry at ponuh
2) Obliterate

1) Elect Whisp

Serious:

1) Defend government institutions from the corruption via privatization. Social Security is obvious. Eliminate school voucher programs and overhaul education by eliminating standardized testing.

2) Champion economic protectionism where needed. This really applies mostly to China. China has centrally planned actions to specifically weaken the United States globally and enhance our deficit. They keep their currency artificially low and still get a warm reception from the Administration and Congressional free traders. Companies have integrated with china to reduce costs and now many of the ingredients in our food are shipped from China while farm subsidies keep US farmers from growing to their full potentials.

3) Greater private sector regulation. This includes stricter safety regulations on food and environmental regulations agreed upon by the global community. HMO regulation below

4) Guest-worker program, secure borders, a clear path to citizenship for existing immigrants that doesn't require a trip home, skilled workers recieve preference.

5) Increased income tax on ultra-wealthy (16 million a year+) and steeper gasoline tax to curb consumption. The non-profit, tax exempt status of many church-based programs would be examined. Perhaps the legalization of marijuana if only to tax the ever living shit out of it and make all those hemp monkeys cry realizing it was 300% cheaper when illegal.

6) Universal Health Care. Legalization of medical imports from canada and the removal of price de-regulations on drug prices should cause drug prices to sink to humane levels.

7) Increase in scientific spending. The first act I would do is to allow the swift passing of a stem cell research bill. Religious groups would be disaffiliated with government and there would never be "faith based initiatives" in my EOP

8 ) Paying down the debt and reducing the deficit. Taxes would be raised (starting from the highest income brackets down) before I would let the debt grow.

9) International outreach. Reconnect with the UN and establish that the US is once again committed to multilateral foreign policy.

10) Iraq/Iran: Obviously a troop pullout of Iraq. Work with U.N to set up refugee camps in Turkey Kuwait to treat victims of the expected religious/social genocides that will occur. With regards to Iran, I feel that becoming a partner and ally makes the most sense, but I would not support my newly ultrasecular US to be allied with Islamic fascists. If Iran installs government in post-US Iraq, that's another story. U.N would be involved


That would be my presidency

edit: oh and gay marriage legalization (though churches are free not to perform the ceremony if they wish) gays in hate crime legislation, gays outlawed from pay, housing, etc discrimination
edit2: AND NO COSPLAY

AYE!

Taxing marajuana is very lol when I can grow it in my closet like I used to (90 day harvest). Only the stupid people would go buy it from a store anyways. Taxing marajuana is useless because of how easy it is to grow, it is a damn weed lol.

i bet we'd have made some progress with the iraq situation if our politicians stopped debating about whether we're succeeding or failing and did something productive.

Some stories can't be told with words, some legends are meant to die

the entire future hinges on the GOP affirming with the popular consensus that the war was a mistake to begin with, has no foreseeable end in sight and that there are no benefits to staying there.

But really, the democrats shouldn't have buckled a month ago with the budgetary restrictions. Now all they've got is the backing of 70-80% of the population, and that doesn't seem to hold much credence with this administration.
