1. Significantly scale back unnecessary military expenditures and give that money to the CIA, FBI, and Homeland security. Bushco spends billions researching antiquated crap like ABM (anti-ballistic missiles) that don't even work, while our borders are unsecure. We need to check a huge percentage of cargo, not 2%. Etc.
2. Formulate a plan for getting out of Iraq. Frankly, its awful, and we need to get out eventually. I don't mean soon, but in the 5-7 year range. We need to rebuild our ties with allies, as well, as international peacekeeping troops will be required.
Actually, most of the stuff the administration has proposed isn't bad (aside from their whole, who needs the constitution thing). They just underfund it and only propose these things for votes, all the while giving more money to large contractors and underfunding homeland security.
I would also return the bill of rights to its rightful place in American discourse, and not round up over 5,000 people (as Ashcroft did) while convicting 0 people (as Ashcroft did).
