I should be President!

Why do I think that? Well it's pretty obvious you don't need a whole lot of experience to get elected! All you need is a catchy slogan and deliver a good speech and you too can be President!

As for a slogan I'm not sure what would work. I know what I would LIKE to use, and it would be short and to the point! My slogan would be " I will GET SHIT DONE!!! "

What would I do though? Well, for starters I wouldn't need to create a bunch of new bureaucratic black holes, also known as Government Agencies, to "craft and agenda". I would do like I do in my professional career as an IT person and asses the problem, find a solution and then implement it.

For example, this mess in Iran with the bearded wacko in the Members Only jacket wanting to further enrich his stockpile of uranium. We all know, well except for the current POTUS, that he is developing nuclear weapons. Any person with a functioning cerebellum can figure this out. I say why not send him a functioning nuclear weapon, let him experience it first hand and then decide if he wants more! I guess the problem would be that he would probably not survive the initial delivery of said weapon and Tehran would end up looking like a tattered parking lot. Either way you look at it I'm sure it would deter their interests in nukes and we would have achieved our objective!

Moving right along to Al Qaeda. Screw Pakistan! I say If Pakistan won't root out these nut jobs then we are going in after them and to hell with any collateral damage! Al Qaeda doesn't seem to care if innocent civilians are killed and, in fact, use civilians as shields knowing the US forces will not attack for fear of hurting a civilian. Screw 'em! If you show the enemy that you have less remorse for civilians then the civilians will do more to combat the enemy thus helping OUR cause!

This is fun!

Next, Health care. I would leave Health Care alone with a few minor exceptions. I would enact Tort Reform basically because I hate lawyers! I would also make it possible for Insurance companies to sell across state lines. This could be done by not regulating Insurance companies at the individual state level. Instead I would impose a Federal Regulatory commission comprised of all the current state commissions and create a federal standard for Insurance regulation. This would greatly reduce the cost of both individual and group Health Insurance policies because now each company can sell to all 50 states using the same guidelines and regulations. That's how you create a level playing field!

Taxes? Lower! 'Nuff said!

Government waste? Let me just say this....there will be a mass exodus of former Federal Government workers moving to the private sector!

Till next time!

  1. Chris Excellent points, but ad far as health care The Great one has put all the onus on the backs of the insurance companies, but very little on "reducing the cost of health care "Tort is just a fraction of the problem" say the great one, will a cinch by the inch I say. Lets cut a little here a little there. Cut drug costs, allow Medicare to negotiate prices, which Congress several years ago blocked, Make a fair pricing in the market rule, like Nixon did with during the "gas shortage" He imposed a rule that gas stations were limited to 11 cents per gallon of gas until the problem was solved, Lets standardize health claims billings like the Auto and homeowners insurance companies do. Lets outlaw Lobbyists, and outlaw Pork belly spending. There are just a few little fractions that can add up to a whole number.
    What say you?
