If You Were President.

The president just has to be a ethical and a critical thinker.

If I were president for a day I'd kill the abomination that is the Patriot Act and sign the Kyoto Treaty. And yes, I would make the decision every time.

China and India would like you.

The whole world would like me. Plus, you can't tell people what to do when you yourself aren't doing it (i.e NPT). You have to stick your neck out for the greater good sometimes and set an example. Besides, "they are polluting the planet too" is not a good enough reason to not sign the KT. China is already starting to do it so why shouldn't we?

Yes they would because it would put most of the cost on us and let other nations have a free ride. That why two of our Presdents have not signed this Treaty. We already do stuff here to help with greehouse gases and the article said that over 250 corps. are involved in this program. What cost is this to China? I have no probleme if we agreed to a treaty that treats all Nations the same.

If I were President, first off I'd....

1) Change the National Anthem to Just a Gigolo (David Lee Roth style)
2) Make Redskin History a Standard Of Learning

then I'd do some real work and I'd.....

1) Eliminate federal tax for people making less than $25k/year and make those making up to 75k/year pay a flat rate (15%) and those making more than that pay a flat rate of 25% up to a maximum amount.
2) Make Welfare a temporary 12 to 24 month program.
3) Work on the legal industry's handling of frivolous lawsuits.
4) Increase funding for public education and provide an increase amount of attention on skill-type jobs. I really like the idea of doing away with 11th and 12th grade for anyone not interested in college but would rather learn a trade like electrician or plumbing.
5) Legalize everyone living in the United states effective immediately. This means you have to register to vote and register for Social Security. After about a 6 month period if you are in the country illegally you will be immediately deported back. the cost to send you back will come out of your pocket or you will work in some sort of government programs to payback the cost. During that time you can choose to undergo a legalization process (learning basic laws, language training, etc) in order to become a citizen.

And finally, I'd.....

1) Deport ArtMonkDrillz somewhere, anywhere.

Most families making 25,000 or less do not pay federal ncome taxes. I like your idea about the 11 and 12th grades but I think dumping more money into the goverment schools is not going to help. I think its time we have alternative choices than goverment schools. I know I had the choice to send my daughter to private with allot of sacrifice but there are many who do not have the choice but to send there kids to failing public schools. If money was the problem then why can private schools cost less than what our goverment spends per child? If anything they could send the money back to the states and let each state decide what is best for their people.

I like your ideas...the only problem with #5 is how do we determine the ones that were already here from the ones that will trample the border trying to get in on that idea...I'm also not sure that internment camps are a good idea haha
