If you were President of the USA, what would be the first 3 things you would change and Why?

Question

If you had the complete power to do so.

I am curious as to what different people from different walks of life feel about this.

There are alot of good answers and I will most likely let it voted upon for the best answer.

My own:
1- Close ALL borders/greencards/visas and make america the hardest country in the world to gain access to. We have grown so much further than the foundation we were set upon and I think we are crumbling under the weight of our own problems. We have to fix the issues within and take care of our own before we try to help anyone else.
2-True Welfare reform. If people are able to work then the systems main goal would be to help them work. IE:child care, vehicle assistance
3- Health care would be affordable to every american citizen

Wealth- sorry but ball players dont need millions of dollars when police, fireman, teachers and so on can barely survive

Birth Control- Would be mandatory for anyone under the age of 21. Yeah, I know it might upset some people. But it would also give people a chance to build a better foundation for themselves before considering

bringing another life into this world. Also allowing them to grow up some themselves.

bringing another life into this world. Also allowing them to grow up some themselves.

Answer 1

1. healthcare
2. education
3. wealth distribution

All are important for a good, human, happy life yet they are the most out of complete whack.

Answer 2

1. become an isolationist country. close our borders to prevent any illegals from coming in and send all illegals home. this would be done by bringing all our troops home and placing them along the borders.

2. term limits for all politicians on any level. along with term limits would limit the " perks " they receive when the go out of office. then also in this revamp anytime a war is started we send the politicians and lawyers first.

3. watch the spending of the government on all levels. there would be no politician who would make money on the side and would be forced to live on the salary given. anytime a politician wanted more money for the job the taxpayers would decide if the politician would receive the raise. once out of office the politician would receive social security benefits like the rest of the population and not receive more than what his salary calls for. when this is done balance the budget so there would be at least no more spent than was taken in.

to facilitate this either have a federal sales tax or change the tax structure so the more one makes the more one pays. changing the tax structure in a manner so there would be a fairer tax payment structure with simpler tax forms would be a step in the right direction.

Answer 3

This is a very good question. Perhaps the answers will open some eyes in Washington, DC.
The first thing I would change is to stop funding countries that continue to engage in ethnic wars. Some of these countries have been doing it for hundreds of years. The money could be put to better use here.
Second, Use some of that money for a nationalized health care program for all citizens that are working, layed off or retired.
Third, have affordable housing and give the teachers in our schools the money they deserve.
I can go on and on.

Answer 4

1.Balance the bugdet and cut government expenditures. The average American is supporting a bloated government that thinks it has a carte blanche in regards to expenditures. I understand that taxes are a necessity but the excess spending is getting to the point of abuse.
2.Establish affordable, universal healthcare. I want to make healthcare providers accountable to patients, be fiscally responsible and mandate a checks and balance. Free healthcare for all children under the age of 14.
3.Send every high school senior to college for free if they choose to go. An education should not be a privelege but a right.

Answer 5

1. Lower Taxes

2. Do away with about 90% of government programs

3. Get out of Iraq

Answer 6

First thing I would do is get all of the illegals out of this country
Second I would stop the war because they are getting no where
Third-No more foreign aid to other countries, this country needs to help its citizens.

3# Stop all welfare, food stamps, hud housing,premature SSI,any other give away program.( to increase peoples dignity, cut taxes, and put people to work)

Answer 9
