I am looking forward to see how he would change education. Under Perry schools might be forced to teach creationism. He would end abortions and birth control. Repeal gay marriages and rights. Stop those nasty government handouts to the down-and-out and end unemployment compensation. Perry would run the US like a good christian denying care to seniors, the disable, and needy children. He will create plenty of jobs at China-mart, MickeyD's, and the like. Social Security would be privatized with Perry's favorite banks in charge until they totally bankrupt it. One thing for sure, Perry would make the rich one hell of lot richer and the poor even more poor than they are.
I'm afraid Perry is just too much of an ignorant redneck to be elected considering the number of intelligent independents it requires to win. Unelectable folks....... move on to someone else.
The very first thing he should say after he takes his oath is "America is open for business again." Then he should do what it takes to make businesses come back that went overseas. The US Chamber of Commerce should be his best bud. In fact, right now on the campaign trail he should be talking to them and taking his case to small business owners in the states he visits.
I'm hoping, if he is elected, first, he tells all of the lawyers in the Justice Department to hand in their resignations. That's his perrogative and he's better off doing it on Day 1 than waiting. Then he should ask Rudy Guiliani to be the Attorney General and hire the right people.
Two, I hope he has a team that will have already gone through the Obama regulations and executive orders and identified which need to go so he can hit the ground running that the US is open for business, again. He doesn't have to wait for Congress to get rid of them (right?) and it would be a good gesture to business.
Then I hope tort reform is his next order of duty since the lawyers are ganging up on him right now, pumping the money to Obama. I believe he has to work with Congress on that. What he did in Texas with his state legislators has doctors flooding into the state to practice there. Maybe it will make more doctors want to be practitioners instead of going into research.
Then if getting rid of onerous regulations and tort reform doesn't hack off the lawyers, I hope he goes for the lawyer jugular with tax simplification. You realize that tax simplification has been promised by every politician for decades but once in office they never make a move on it because the lawyers are the biggest campaign donors along with the unions.
Don't be ridiculous with the Civil Rights Act.
Next on tap is downgrading the EPA. When he submits his budget for EPA to Congress, he can downsize and underfund them. These are the suits now in the regulation business. They are not the people who keep our parks nice and physically protect fish and wildlife. They are the ones when the Gulf Oil Spill first happened had their thumbs up their butt because they are suits not people who actually fix environmental problems.
Then he can totally dismantle the Department of Education and downgrade them to an agency. They can't justify their need to exist. Since they have come into being (they have only been in existence since 1979), our kids competitiveness with the rest of the world has taken a nose dive. Leave education administration to the states. The statistical information they provide now can be done by a smaller group of people. It will make the red tape for teachers and administrators less burdensome so they can just concentrate on the kids. Like the EPA, he just needs to strip them of funds in the budget he submits to Congress.
Then after the EPA gesture, he needs to clean house in the State Department. I don't trust those guys. He shouldn't, either.
Then he has to tell Congress that they better get appropriations done timely and none of this continuing resolution bs. If they can't get the job done on time, make the budget process a two year deal instead of an annual one. Then he should tell them he wants to see something on his desk to sign related to term limits.
The items on your list involve Congress so I'm thinking we have to wait for the 2012 elections to see who is in control there. In Texas, he has no problem whipping out his veto pen, so if he sees pork, I say whip it out again in the White House.
