Re: Now that you're President . . .
ECONOMY: Shy away from globalism. Retract the tax cuts to the wealthy and use that money fund failing social security. I would also freely hand over control of Iraq over to the UN so as to releave the economic burden on the US. Also, I'd withdraw from NAFTA and the WTO to help bring jobs back to the US.
NATIONAL DEFENSE: Cut the pentagon budget and military spending by 10%-30%. End Star Wars missile defense and hand over control of Iraq to the UN. Repeal the Patriot Act and Homeland Security. Focus on international military efforts in the war on terror and in areas like North Korea and the Middle East.
SOCIAL SECURITY: Return the retirement age to 65. Use tax cut money to fund Social Security.
FOREIGN POLICY: (including hotspots Iraq, N Korea, etc)
UN gets Iraq and defer to the international community for terror issues. Use the same mixture of economic and political pressure we used in Ireland in the Israel. Stop supporting Israel militarily but continue foreign aid. Equally, aid Palestein.
IMMIGRATION: Legalize current immigrants to get them into the system where we can at least track and tax them. Make it easier and more affordable to legally immigrate while increasing foreign aid to Central America and the Caribbean in order to promote economic growth. Also replace WTO and NAFTA with fair trade agreements in order to improve pay and working conditions.
EDUCATION: Use pentagon/military cuts to fund universal preschool care, increase teachers wages, and provide more funding for schools programs and expansion.
DOMESTIC ISSUES: Universalize healthcare based on the single payer model. Lower penalties for minor drug charges. Legalize marijuana in quanities less than an ounce. Reduce funding for factory farms and genetic engineering and increase funding for family farms. Legalize homosexual marriages. Repeal draft laws. Require public campaign financing. Stregthen environmental standards and have 20% of US enregy coming from renewable sources within the next 10 years.
SPACE PROGRAM: Maintain status quo funding
