If I were in charge....
No "no-bid" contracts lasting 300 years would exist for road work, and mandatory thickness of the asphalt would be maintained... a-la Autoban+++
No emmissions testing, because who the fuck cares... i want my race fueled, no-cat machine to burn whatever I want it to, when I want it to ~ like Michigan
Push through the expansion of refineries, put more research $$ into the oil sands of canada, and expand North American drilling.
Re-calculate the rate of inflation based on goods rather then energy
to reduce "carbon emmsions" (actually, thats not why) expand nuclear energies accross the board.... good, clean, cheap energy! (re previous statement) This would also curb oil consumptions/cost
require extensive econ classes in high school.... there are too many idiots out there cough cough, Bart Stupak) who want more and more government control over enterprise, and consumer spending.... aka, another end of freedom.
Federal/state funded universities/community colleges are all 100% paid for through tax dollers of various sorts. One cannot get "in-state" residence, nor "federal residence" without first paying into the tax system for a minimum of 5 years, or thier parents a minimum of 5 years. .... I'm tired of foriegn nationals filling up our higher education systems while paying the same rate that I do, and also having no intention of staying in the USA once graduated.... thus giving the rest of us a greater burdan to carry to give them a chance. What BS.
Lifestyles cannot be expressed in any public classroom.... ~swinger, gay, poligamist, etc. Let the parents do the parenting, and decide who and what thier children learn. It isn't something "we must all tollerate, and except"
the 10 commandments will be in every public face of law, prayer can be lead by any who choose to do so, in any public setting, but no special areas will be designated for any religion, nor special times set asside. Separate teh state from the church, but not the church from those in the state.
Boarders will be secure, and any illegal attempting to cross will be warned twice in the assumed native tounge, and local tounge before being shot if they do not return from wence they came. I would expect the same treatment of US citizens on any other foriegn sovereign territory.
All polliticians will be required to hold no more then 2 terms in the senate (12 years), 4 ( 8 years) tearms in the house, and the same 2 terms in teh white house. They can run from one area of congress to the other, and in that maximum 20 years, they don't become president, there is nothing more that they can do. The congress is meant to be a living government, and when people reside there for 20, 30, 40, 50 years are doing nothing for the betterment of the nation.
No congressman, nor district will recieve any exception to any federal law passed by the congress and signed into law by the president.
The tax code will be able to be fully interpreted by any high schooler.
NEA will change focus to one promoting personal success, and exemplifying students who do so.
Health insurance will be able to have as much personal control as auto insurance, which can be changed at any time to reflect what is current to the individual.
Welfare will have a time stipulation; and will include assistance to change residence to help locate in a booming market, shortly after which, there will be continued reduced assistance. The time stipulation will not be measured in years. (Remember, free higher education allows for training even to those who may already have a degree which may not yield a good job)
oh, there is a lot more i'd do.... but, thats good for now
The supream court shall review all additional ammendments to the constitution, and determine which of them are redundant, and which ammendments shall be delegated to the states. This will be done without any specific case for or against an ammendment.
