You get to run your country for one week, what do you do?

Question

What five policies would you implement/change if given supreme control over your country for one week? You can do any five things you want, and no one has the authority to stop you, but you only get five maximum.

Answer 1

1) Grow entitlement program as no greater than population growth % + COLA increase.
2) Put Roe v Wade to the people again. If they vote in an 2/3rds majority I shall decree that no more argument is allowed. If it is less than that I will revoke it and make it go through the Constitutional Amendment process. (Right to Privacy? That's a stretch)
3) Illegal Immigration must be stopped. All law enforcement agencies are required to detain all suspected Illegal Immigrants for Federal processing and deportation if found to be illegal. Also DMV, SSI, Social Service Agencies and school district should be responsible for reporting those without qualifying identification.
4) All Congressional votes are to be accessible in an easy to track and identify manner. It is of the utmost importance to track how your Congresspeople are representing their district to determine how they will vote in the future.
5) A fair tax system. Each time the is a tax code change it adds on average 579 pages to the IRS tax code. It has gotten to the point where it is overly cumbersome to the individual. Plus every time a tax cut is enacted eventually that is slowly counteracted through smaller targeted tax increases. Lets do away with the class warfare and enact a flat tax that does not begin to take effect until past the poverty line and then is phased in, Period. No tax breaks for left handed Cello players. No tax increase for Atheist smokers. NONE!

Answer 2

I would pull out of Iraq and provide them more money and advice to how to set the country up differently. They need to split into different countries for each religion.

I would privatize Welfare so that a company can make sure it is used not abused. I would also assign a doctor in every county to take a look at every person wanting welfare and determine if they are able to work or not. If not, I would give them less $$$ and send a lot of gov't food. If they are to get it they have to be looking for a job.

I would legalize marijuana. Too many tax payers' dollars going toward housing those idiots.

I would manage education federally. Make sure that EVERY public school is balanced as well as it can be with teachers' abilities and students' abilities. No more sending new teachers and bad teachers to low income areas and all the good teachers to the good side of town.

I would rebalance taxes so that everyone pays based on what they get paid before deductions.

I would regulate politician's schedules and pay scales.

I would change our oil needs from other countries as quickly as possible.

I would stop allowing people getting $1 million lawsuits from something next to nothing.

I would make child predators live in an area where they wouldn't be very happy. It would be a federal offense where after one offense you will never be allowed out and the jail would be tough. Costing the tax payers next to nothing. And they should lose their manhood as well.

I would simply have a real and serious investigation of the event that is probably the most important in American history (9-11) regardless of the results of the investigation.
