To get back on track, my candidate would:
Dismantle the DEA and regulate "illegal" drugs, decriminalize pot at the very least. ( I am still of the thought that if weed were a product like booze, the country would never be in a deficit again, regardless of leadership)
Allow gay marriage-why should just heteros be miserable but with great tax breaks?
Close the borders. What part of "illegal immigrant" is so difficult to understand?
Dismantle NAFTA. Instead of rewarding corporations for moving offshore, reward them for staying put or penalize them for taking their operations elsewhere. "Oh, you're moving to Costa Rica and laying off 3,000 Americans? That'll be 4.5 million restitution tax, please."
We could get a vast majority of those on welfare off the dole if some daycare was provided. Workfare isn't working because of that, in part. If you have 200 moms on welfare, take 100, train'em in childcare, then put them into the daycares as workers, get the others at least ground level employment.
Incentives for urban renewal. Stop building on pristine land and get the builders and landowners to invest in our cities.
Promote and give incentives for alternative energy sources. Landfills produce methane, yet it's just burned off instead of recycled, for instance. And do you really need that Ford Excursion to drive around your two kids? If so, it'll cost ya an energy consumption surcharge.
There has to be some sort of regulations with this gas pricing. Here in NJ, we have major refineries owned by local gasoline corporations, yet they're charging the same as say, Exxon. Why? Speculation coupled with greed. Gas wars wouldn't be a bad idea right now.
Treat our veterans better. Period. 44% of homeless men are vets. That's disgusting.
