So your king of America.... how do you fix it?

[Japher]

Yes, tHaben! take :Lacer amnd get piut!@

sheit, I've been dirnking, and am ti[ing like Jon Miler~!

[Imran Siddiqui]

You are altruistic. You can not act in a way for the purpose of bettering your own station or those of your friends.

Bah.. what's the point then .

[:) Smiley]

Hmmm..

Get out of Iraq and Middle East as a whole.

Invest funds saved from bloated war budget in renewable energy and mass transit.

Decriminalize drugs.

Fund better science education in schools.

Lower the voting age.

Establish ten new national holidays.

[Agathon]

1. Nationalize Healthcare.

Nothing else. That's four year's work.

[Drake Tungsten]

3) Get our boys OUT of Iraq and Afghanistan. Bring everyone who had even a HINT of anything to do with the misinformation campaign that got us into the war up on charges of Treason.

The attack on Afghanistan was based on nothing but a pack of lies.

The attack on Afghanistan was based on nothing but a pack of lies.

The incompetence displayed there since is more than enough to hang those responsible. They deliberately held resources back for Iraq, when they had a slim chance of fixing Afghanistan. Remember: the whole world was willing to help on that one.

What can I say? There's nothing I would need to be King to have to change.

Freeze or cut military spending
Yeah, I know, but not near all of that $400B (soon to be $500B) is going to our troops actually risking their necks overseas.

Freeze or cut farm subsidies
Hell will freeze over before I pay a man to not grow a crop.

Raise taxes on the rich
Don't worry. I'm talking about top 5%. 95% of you don't need to worry. The 5% of you though? Better start tightening the pursestrings.

What to do with the saved money?
In order of this priority
1) DEBT REDUCTION
Mike Ross (my Congressman) was on C-SPAN last night, and he said, even MEXICO has $40 billion of our debt. That is ridiculous. There is no way the USA of all places should be in debt--it is a huge amount, by now, to overcome, but we can do it.

2) EDUCATION $$$ - GIVEN TO STATES
Education is our future and the states know how to spend it just as good as the feds do. (Specifically given to one state. Trust me, we need it more than the rest of you.)

3) EDUCATION $$$ - given to the feds

4) Pork projects

5) Govt housing

6) Welfare

america isn't broken

[Vince278]

Vote Vince278 for President!

[notyoueither]

Petition Parliament to become the 11th through 60th provinces.

[Dis]

actually I should say as of 1999 America was not broken.

But me being king would automatically fix things. As Bush wouldn't be in office. The only reason things are broke are because he is in office.

The first thing I would do is put Bill Clinton in charge.

[notyoueither]

No need for Clinton. We already have a Queen.

That would be like putting the rooster in charge of the hen house (literally).

Less bush, more pusssy

[el freako]

I wouldn't do very much actually.

Just try to sort out the gerrymandering mess that is wrecking your democracy - if I could do that (so that most seats involve a proper fight over them as opposed to the 1 in 20 now) then I think the US's politics would be far healthier and the current downward spiral of partisanship and extremes on both sides would be reversed.
