If you became president what are the top 5 things to change?

[Bpracing1127]

If you became president, what are the top 5 things you would change and why?

1. no more anchor babies, I would push to change the law on this and, severely limit immigration.
2. Get out of the Middle East. Let them fuck it up. Yes they have oil but so do we
3. Drill baby drill
4. Stop funding to programs that do nothing
5. Term limits on Congress

 

[RCDave]

1) Solve Budget deficits via massive spending reductions (mainly though social programs) and balanced budget requirement.
2) MASSIVE reduction in the size and scope of government
3) Reinstate a gold standard (or like peg)
4) Term limits
5) Intense legislative action to reduce government interference in free markets

I’d throw our full weight at the powers that be (Rothschild’s, Bilderbergs, etc) to up our standing and demand leeway.
But I’d probably be assassinated rather quickly.

Everything else is secondary.

 

[Old Texan]

Wow, where to begin.....So much is intertwined, it's not that simple. Immigration, the debt, reaching clarity on all the climate situation, healthcare that makes sense, term limits for sure, cleaning house in a multitude of federal agencies, and on and on.

WTG is onto a core need, but how citizens can accom0lish anything is going to be a task.

We accomplished a milestone electing Trump. I never in a million years would have believed we could fuck up the machine in such a manner.
It was so off script I don’t think there was even any contingency in place!

THATS the kind of thing we have to continue to do...it’s the only thing we CAN do. It’s almost immaterial who it is..as long as they are NOT in the club.

 

[saucedaddy]

1. Fix Healthcare
2. Fix immigration
3. Fix climate change
4. Fix Gerrymandering
5. Get out of ME

 

[Grandpa mac]

You list plus reverse Citizens United and all of Trumps executive actions, balance the budget. Guess that's more than five but now that we've established an imperial presidency the next guy can do whatever he likes.

So many issues, yet your focus is on the guy you hate.

You're a true socialist if you think the agenda of any of the coming alternatives is better than what we have in office righting the ship. Allowing business as usual has taken this nation to the edge and you're either blind to it, or want it that way.

Does your Citizens United request include restraints on public sector union spending also?

 

[squeezer]

Day One:

Write EO's putting a freeze on: Citizens United, Lobbyist access, campaign donations, Political organization tax exemptions, etc, etc. Unless we take big $$ out of government none of the other changes this country needs can happen.

Assuming I am still alive on day two:

Start an immediate recall of all troops deployed in hostile zones. Would leave room for some subjective deployments based on REAL threats to our national security. (Losing access to cheap oil is not a threat to our national security.)

Day three: Fast track every "Green" initiative possible. Pick the low hanging fruit first, transportation and electricity generation account for 60% of the USA's carbon footprint. Grid tie solar, natural gas (as oppsed to coal) and nuclear on the generation side, efficiency upgrades on the cunsumption side. Transportation is tougher, EV adoption enhancement by supporting charging infrastructure in places that are less common than now. Slow the trucks down (sorry Truckers). Take a serious look at the carbon footprint of air travel and tax/regulate as appropriate.

Day four: Prioritize ground and surface water protection and conservation.

Day five: Sign a simple EO stating that all members of Government elected or otherwise have the same health plan in 90 days...

 

[was thatguy]

I’d suggest moving day five up to day one in case you get offed...because I agree with day five!
But losing access to cheap oil is in fact a DIRECT threat to our National Security. What do you think our shit runs on? Vegetable oil?
Unless, of course, you immediately begin an aggressive domestic production agenda with an even more aggressive refinery initiative...

 

[Old Texan]

Day 3 needs an awful large shot of expertise rather than jump into unproven and proven lesser reliable sources for the bulk of generation.

Solar is little more than a reserve source when it comes to highly populated areas especially in the N-NE-MW states.

Enviros hate clean coal but technology hasn't come close to a "real" alternative. Nuclear is efficient but gets flak from all sides as far as taking over the bulk of power generation.

A possible solution is more central generation and expanding the grid in a more efficient manner. Been talked about for years, but never really goes anywhere.

Solar, Natural Gas, and Nuclear are not unproven or unreliable... "Clean Coal" is a myth compared to other sources, focusing on the best of the worst is not a path forward. The politics of nuclear are challenging for sure, we need to get over it. The foundation of this is that there is no single solution that works in all cases. It is just as true that burning fuel is not going to go away. An all or nothing approach is going to leave real gains swinging in the wind.

Cheap is the operative word... If we spent same the same amount of resources on alternative energy development and efficiency improvements as we do on wars in the ME this conversation would sound ridiculous. Politics and Profits (pun intended) keep us in the ME. Not stability and security...

[94Nautique]

1 Keep making America great.
2 King Dollar
3 Drop corporate tax rates to 10%
4 drop marginal income rate to 20%
5 kill the EPA, DO Education, and half the other departments in the Fed Govt

 

[YumaRivernaut]

3. Fix climate change hoax by ceasing weather manipulation/geo engineering

 

[YumaRivernaut]

1. Expose and bring down the global pedophilia/human trafficking control system and the perpetrators once and for all.
2. Outlaw and arrest all central banksters/federal reserve control systems.
3. Revert back to strict adherence to the Constitution including the missing 13th Amendment.
4. Disseminate all hidden technology for free unlimited energy to all of humanity.
5. Arrest and prosecute all players in the global warming hoax including the traitorous media.
I would most likely be Arkancided® immediately upon implementation of any of these actions.

1.Appoint Rudy Giuliani “United States Attorney General.
2. Immediate investigation Biden Family
3. Appoint Oliver North Secretary Defense
4. Immediate General Flynn Pardon/Exoneration/Made Whole
5. Appoint General Petraeus Secretary of State

 

[RVR SWPR]

On the 2nd day write legislation changing term of President of United States to 1 (one)
6 (six) year term.

You misinterpret. Your 3 are indeed proven, but solar is limited and nowhere near being a major source. Nuclear is highly efficient, but not without long term issues, mainly with waste.

Calling clean coal a myth says a lot about what you don't know, but think you know. CC is the lowest cost for the major amount of power it produces and technology has eliminated emissions contrary what "haters/enviros" would have the public believe.

“Clean Coal is a Myth compared to other sources” is absolutely true and independent of being low cost...

You are simply stupid if you think you can reach even %30 of energy production that the continental USA needs daily with solar or NG. With the 500 BILLION your savior the dicksucker pumped into solar in bene's/writeoffs etc they reached...drumroll...%6 of generation through 8 YEARS of it. NG is so inefficient that wood is a better alternative. The coal and hydro infrastructure already in place is already lacking in large population areas simply because they don't reinvest into their grid, they pay investors.

Drink more Koolaid. Clean water and all the other climate/population threats are from simple mismanagement of resources...from the dumbfucks at the state/city level.

So why do you believe Americans are so much stupider than the Germans ? What do you have against the USA and its people to say they are not capable of doing something that Germany has already done?

Biffer, you've been showing a trend lately that I believe explains a lot about your growing liberal cynicism.

Serious discussions with power industry experts working for companies that not only are current industry leaders, but are the future of the industry. They will be using what is best for not only bottom lines, but for mankind and the planet. Something I took for granted that you'd be aware of, but it seems this Trump hating syndrome has closed your mind off......Their pay checks will only grow as technology advances. They continue to make coal better as they actively seek it's replacement.

Apparently that liberal tcynicism blocks your vision on how US innovation leads the world in a capitalistic winning manner.....

Serious discussions with power industry experts don't change the laws of physics/thermodynamics/chemistry. Coal has literally the largest amount of C02 per BTU of any scaled energy source. Carbon capture and storage is great and all but talk about an unproven technology. I also don't view C02 injection to enhance oilfield returns as all that positive...

What color is the sky in the world you live in where companies, particularly those in the energy sector, put environmental efforts ahead of $$$. Paying lip service and having a few high visibility programs keep the pressure off but don't shift the balance one bit.

Innovation is only helpful if the political/financial realities demand adoption. One has to look no further than the PV adoption rates in the USA vs Europe for an example.

Its kinda like fishing with dynamite... Figured the C02 oil recovery comment would wake you up. Very cool technology with some successful pilot programs in Alberta. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage is a fantastic field for innovation. My problem with it is we are still focusing $$ on cleaning up a chemically dirty process (hydrocarbon combustion) instead of scaling alternates.

Most wells in Prudhoe bay are injector wells. Have been for decades. It’s a well engineered field. Any expansive gas or fluid that can successfully be injected is an improvement over static medium such as water. It reduces the amount of wells required for pressurized recovery...like using nitrogen to blow down long pipe or system runs.

Would just like to see what progress we could make in the alternative energy sectors if we put similar levels of Engineering/Time/$$$ in.
