Re: If You Were President.
sane energy policy. (corn subsidies, nuclear, more research into oceanic sources, more transmission bandwidth, etc) no bills that allow invasion of privacy without some kind of watchdog group to check for abuse. more emphasis and education on preventive care (which save TONS of money in the long run). a revue of tax codes (more simplicity could save lots of money on oversite and compliance). etc etc

Re: If You Were President.
I'd make TMC my Vice President just to make my day a little funnier.
Then, I'd probably shoot myself in the head - so many sh*tstorms are brewing right now that I wouldn't have the first clue where to start. |

Re: If You Were President.
Not to get too nerdy, but if you wanted to sign a treaty, you'd have to get approval of the Senate. In the case of the Kyoto Protocol, I think the Senate rejected it by a vote of something like 99-0 (with 1 abstention).

Re: If You Were President.
health care and new jobs. the medical insurance is way too outrageous, and too many jobs leaving the country. not sure how to accomplish both of these but if i surround myself with thinkers like t.m.c., any problem can be solved

Re: If You Were President.
i build 1000 mile high walls all around america and make every single illegal immigrants leave.
go back to your own country!!! i'm not a racist by any means. if you asked 10 people from various countries, 9 of 10 would say they hate america. but poll those same ten people and ask which country they would rather live in they would all say america. i understand that some do like america, but most don't. 12 million illegal immagrants is unacceptable. maybe if they would try to fix their own damn countries, then their countries wouldn't be such shit holes. quit spending all of your time hating america and start fixing your own damn countries.

Re: If You Were President.
I have no beef with illegal immigrants. I would sneak into the country too if I was living in Nicaragua and I'm sure you would too if you couldn't feed your family. BTW, the people who hate America are not these illegals, they overwhelmingly love the United States. In fact, a lot of illegals love and appreciate the country more than a lot of privileged suburban college kids who already have U.S. citizenship.

Re: If You Were President.
yes i would but they shouldn't be stealing my jobs and shit if they dont even belong to this country. that is straight up bullshit.
i doubt you like the fact that there are 12 million imagrants here. well if they put a few hundred years into their country then maybe they could love and appriciate there own damn countries. i know i had nothing to do with this country being created and made great but i do greatly apperciate who did. i also know i sound really ignorant, but hey thats me.

Re: If You Were President.
If I were Prez for a day I would do something to stop people from living off of the system, and try to help out the guy who is trying to make an honest living. It is unfair to see people who are on welfare have better lives because they are playing the system, and here I am trying to play by the rules and I get the short end of the stick. I work a full time job and my wife works about 30hrs/wk and we have 3 kids and we are just getting by, barely. Then I see people that are on welfare that use food stamps (Access card in PA) and load there grocery carts up with junk food and what not. Meanwhile I am just trying to buy the nessacary food for my family.
I have nothing against welfare, it is a good program if it is not abused. I will even admit that I had to be on it for a short while. But I did not do my best to stay on it. I wanted off of it ASAP!!! Maybe it is because I have too much pride but I was kinda embarassed to be on it, and now I see people all the time do just enough so that they dont loose it... All I am saying is that the system needs to help the people that are willing to better themselves and society not the lazy, worthless, drug addicted, burden to our society type people...

Re: If You Were President.
what i don't like about illegal immigrants is that they can get some government services without paying taxes. If they want to be here fine, but they should be subject to the same rules as everyone else.
