If you were President, what would be your three top priorities to accomplish before you left office?

Answer 1

1 A fair and balanced economy and tax system, then leave it alone for the next 20 years. This includes fixing social security for eternity (not hard just end the income cap on it.)

2. (Shakespeare warning) Eliminate all the lawyers. Then do a number on the high stakes lobbyists that corrupt our way of life.

3. A real minimum wage that is enforced, and a maximum wage; perhaps at $50 million per year. Cut congressional perks/benefits and salary to put them in line with the work they actually do (that would pay most of them about $10 a year for an hours work.)

Answer 2

1. End this god forsaken war

2. Balance the budget by cutting the Department of home land security which is a waste

3. Increasing the education budget.

Answer 3

(1) to develop an alternate energy program so that in the future we can take care of our own energy needs. (2) Secure the borders (3) get the PM of Iraq to disarm the militas in his countrty so that both Americans and Iraqis are safer.

Answer 8

1.)
Most people in America including my self, feel lost and confused. We want answers but the government answer is that "something is wrong with us." Well nothing's wrong with us. If something is wrong with us in America, than there is something wrong with our country. Our leaders, and our government, is what is wrong with this country, the way you live is not because of wealth or poverty, it is because the government is not equal. No matter how hard our lives are in the eyes of the government one American is just another American, whether it be rich or poor.
A man working in a hamburger shop, grilling hamburgers all day long normally gets payed less than the man that sits in his office, and sells retail. Nothing is wrong with the poor "people" in America, poverty in America is the way it is because of the rulers that rule America. If we want freedom, and we want to live the American dream, than the government will just have to dream bigger, and go farther than any other nation in the world. The government will progress and is progressing every day, but for the children of today, and the families of the today, tomorrows progression isn't changing anything. To change this generation ways of living the government needs to walk those stairs of equalism a little bit faster.
Those that are not in a hurry to progress economically have come to face the reality and the fact, that the government will progress slowly and surly while Americans are living their "normal" lives. We can take those steps to equalism a little bit faster if we must, but if the government runs up those stairs it has a better chance of falling when getting to the top. The government can not just jump into equality, it has to move steadily, with hardship as discipline, to make the government stronger for future Americans.
Hardships with in the government of America, and with in the stock market do take place. From that hardship we learn a new lesson, and if we keep learning, we will do things correctly, but I tell you this for certain it will take time, all things do. All America has to do is wait, while the government progresses around us, we will see the changes, but only with pationes in our own self's, government, and society.
If I was elected president I would not devote my time to anything other than getting the government to progress with out falling under its self in the motion of progressing. Faster but stable progression is what I believe we need to have, in our government.
2.)
My views on war are consist with equalism.
Terrorists do not negotiate with any one, therefore we must use precaution in bringing their dreadful rain of terror to an end. To stop terrorism America can not just sit down and wait for another 9/11 happen, we must rid not only Iraq but other nations of their threats to our own nation, we do not threaten, unless we are threatened, we negotiate first and threaten last. We do not attack unless we our attacked, must I remind you we have been attacked. Nonetheless, we must stand up and fight!
In a war there can not just be one nation fighting, but two, the one that fired first is the one that is guilty of war, the nation that fired second is not guilty of war, but guilty of revenge, and giving punishment to those that defile humanity with such notions as starting wars, and killing the Innocent.
I will not, and cannot tolerate the shedding of Innocent blood. The nation that started the war is not innocent, the people in that nation are not innocent. America is the largest nation on earth, when a nation puts themselves into a war they also put their country into that war. The sooner the war is over the sooner both nations in the war are safe, in till of course another threat is made. Remember we do not make threats, unless some one threatens us.
If every nation disassembled their war heads, there would never be a war again. We can not force any nation to dissemble their war heads. We have war heads in America not because we are scared of another nation, but because we are scared of the other nations war heads. If we all could just stop fighting, there would be no wars.
There does not have to be fighting when one nation dislikes another nation, or some person dislikes another person. If you cross the border line of hate, and go into a fight, you will get a war.
That is why we live in our nation and the enemy lives in theirs. If they come to our nation to live, we do not expect them to dislike our nation but to see it as a equal nation, of liberty but also justest for all.
3.)
Illegal immigrates are to me a minor problem in this nation, those that want to come into America, must first earn the right. There is no sneaking your way over the border line, that is why we have a border line. To many that want to come to America, we should let them in. To do so we must lessen the expense of coming into America, but as we lessen the expense we must also increase the security. Security rules over money, this nation is free to live in, but not free to attack.
