I probably would not have much time to do anything as I would be assassinated by some crazy right winger.

Eliminate unhealthy agriculture subsidies.

Tear down the moronic fence on the Mexican border.

Insitute massive investigations into the lawlessness of the Bush Adminsitration

Then, on the second day...
The "occupation" in Iraq? The one that's been a success?

Publicly funded campaigns, as in MY tax dollars? Or private citizens? And would the "corporations" that are eliminated include unions and special interest groups?

Universal healthcare - a moot point, since there won't be any money saved. Who are you kidding?

Ah, yes. Kill jobs going green, while leaving our country defenseless.

Agree on the subsidies, but I'm guessing for different reasons.

Tear down the fence that keeps criminals out of our country? Why just tear down the fence? Why not just abolish all immigration requirements. Come one, come all....

And lastly, you really need to see a doctor about that Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Thank goodness this is all just hypothetical.

Rebuild New Orleans (isn't it time we did that?)

Quadruple NASA's budget.

Put a few liberals on the Supreme Court. It's time we had a few.

Tax churches.
Yeah - ignore the wishes of the majority of Americans!

There ARE regulations of Wall Street. How about enforcing them, instead of turning a blind eye to political friends?

Tax cuts - you REALLY don't like businesses, do you?

How 'bout New Orleans help themselves. Many places have had disasters, but none sit around expecting handouts years later. Quit expecting the government to wipe your rear.

Men in space instead of food on the table and jobs. Brilliant.

I can't even comment on this....

Tax churches AND non-profits that get involved in politics against the tax laws. OK, I'm for that.

Let's all be glad that he will never be running the country!

I would implement sky high tariffs on all imported products

The same day I would implement, Mandatory Jail time of 10 years no parole, for anyone the hires an illegal alien, along with seizing all their personal and corporate assets. I would place $25 each finders fee for any illegal aliens tipped off to.

I would make it so no foreign owned businesses could set up shop in the USA, without exorbitant taxes levied.

No non-citizen can own property in the USA.

Any and all outsourcing from the USA to employees or business not USA, will be taxed at exorbitant levels.

All people working and employed as subcontractors, would need a DBA and a taxpayer ID, not just a social security number.


I'll think of more.......

-Institute a single-payer health care system that cannot be repealed for 100 years. Changes can be made but we can never have for profit health insurance companies
-Slap a huge tax on the top 10% wage earners
- A quarter percent tax on all stock transactions
- Institute a program that would pay for the college education of all future doctors
-Separate the government from marriage
-HEAVILY tax churches
-Try to break up Big Agra. It can bring more jobs for the people because people can work on small local farms
-Make the minimum wage $10.00
-Slap a huge fine on imports and create incentives to grow our manufacturing base
-Pass the Employee Free Choice Act
-I would put more physically separated bike lanes in communities
-I would put a $1.00 per gallon tax on gasoline in order to fund a national mass transit system
-$.50 per ounce tax on sodas to help fund the single-payer health care system
-End corporate personhood

Hmmm.....I'm sure there's more but that's all for now.
