[Anonymous No.1899562]

Education: increase teacher pay by a fuckton to attract better people and have enough staff to be more efficient, have unlimited funds for up-keeping all schools, money for technologies like black boards/ textbooks that assist learning. With so many resources available at schools, more people have access to information, learning, knowledge and skills, which I think is personally the best thing for a society.

Research Grants: Try to reduce the amount of petty competition in the scientific community by greatly increasing the amount of money given out for research projects. Increases basic knowledge, leads to business applications, leads to new technologies, creates jobs.

Modernization of developing and 3rd worlds: As more people throughout the world gain access to higher standers of living, the birthrate decreases, the education level increases and the growing economy helps the whole worth have more growth.

Continue to help peaceful relations with all countries and try to reduce the military's budget as much as possible

Use other tactics all presidents have used to reduce impractical programs to lower the budget as much as possible, while still doing the above 4 things.

We already can't afford what we're doing now. I would do the following:

Increase spending everywhere

Get rid of the Fed

Go on a gold standard or make an amendment allowing for competing currencies

Let the free market in vest in Scientific projects.
Pumping money into something like space exploration might get the money in the wrong hands. Government is a huge wasteful bureaucracy. Tycho Brahe for example was a greedy man and wasted much of Sweden's money, albeit he paved the way for people like Kepler to find discoveries, he still wasted their money. Private organizations will put more pressure on scientists so they actually DO THEIR JOB!

NASA needs more money

Universal Health care; 25 year plan. this will create massive unemployment, so some sort of massive retraining program will be necessary.

Less prison time for offenders, particularly non violent ones. All offenders should be allowed the chance to take part in training programs.

Ideally this will create a huge amount of unemployment in the prison industry, again a massive retraining program will be needed.

Huge infrastructure projects, but they need to create long term high tech jobs. So Things like NASA, huge nuclear and solar investment.

University Education is too expensive, its the very best in the world for the top 5%, but for the rest of America it is expensive and shit. Reduce the amount of garbage degrees which are allowed to be given out. Start providing public support for shorter, more specific training programs with both loans and subsidized education.

Destroy the teachers union. (waiting for S-Man)

I just spent all the money the world has ever known. Given that everything must be done over a long(30-40year) time frame, with small tax increases over that time period. But keep it to a maximum for 50% for even the richest.

With American individualism, and entrepreneurial nature we would do wonderfully if we had the equality and support networks some of the more socialist countries have.

follow-up: simplify the tax code
Replace all existing taxes with a single tax: a Mirrlees optimal income tax (http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/bios/Mirrlees.html)), or a negative income tax (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_income_tax).). If the latter, then supply all income transfer through negative income tax instead of income transfer programs (eg, welfare) and abolish them.

1) Abolish war on drugs, but ensure that acts committed under the influence of drugs have a greater penalty then the same act sober. Also must be 21 to buy and sell, it's cool if your parents buy it for you.
2) Legalize prostitution and gambling. Must be 18 and 21 respectively in order to "invest" in said "services".
3) Abolish the requirement for a permit to own and carry a weapon concealed. Every woman is given a free handgun.
4) Revoke tax exempt status of religions that do not publicly disclose their dogma (e.g. $cientology needs to tell everyone why there is a volcano on dianetics).
5) Lower the age of connect to 13. Sill 18 to be in a porn or work as a prostitute.
6) Eliminate "Marriage", everybody gets a "Civil Union", no mater if its a hetero or homo couple. Also, polygamy is legal too. Furries can yiff in Hell though.
7) Reduce government involvement in the scholastic system to simply an oversight board that lays down guide lines and standards that must be met. All schools or school districts will be privatized.
8) Outlaw all the useless collage degrees, you know the ones.
9) End subsidizing of recycling, "green" energy, agriculture, banks, General Motors and all other industries that would go bankrupt and out of business without tax money propping them up.

10) Mandate law enforcement deport all confirmed illegal immigrants IF AND ONLY IF they are lawfully arrested and convicted of crime, no matter how minor.
11) Convert the House of Representatives to the House of the People. Representatives in the People's House are nominated by political activist groups, such as parties, unions and lobbies. One representative has voting power equal to the number of people they represent (i.e. 1000 people, 1000 votes). Representatives my serve as long as they are elected by their group.
12) Groups represented in the House of the People may hold elections at their own digression, but no more frequently then once every four months. Citizens may re-register with a different group at any time, but no more frequently then once every four months.
13) Convert the Senate into the House of the Land. Each state will supply 2 representatives, one given 50 votes the other given votes based upon relative population.
14) Bills shall follow this process to become a law: must be passed by the House of the People representing at least 94% of America with a 3/5ths majority. Must pass the House of the Land representing at least 94% of America with a 3/5ths majority. Must pass the House of the People a second time with the same criteria. The second vote in the People's House can not occur until at least five months after the first vote was passed.
15) Abolish state governments and boundaries. Redistrict America into smaller more manageable states. Create new regional governments more closely tied in with the federal system. For example, governors would also serve as a representative in the House of the Land.

[Anonymous No.1903010]

>>1903008
16) The vice president shall be nominated and voted on separately from the president.
17) Presidents may only serve one six year term. Initiatives will be placed on the ballet every two years, asking voters if they wish to remove the president from office. Normal presidential succession will follow.
18) The president shall be granted a line item veto, requiring an 8/9ths approval from both houses to override.
19) Supreme court justices can enact a vote of no confidence, expelling one member of the supreme court only by unanimous connect of all remaining justices. The vote of no confidence can not be enacted if there is a vacant seat on the bench.
20) No state shall have the power to place stricter requirements or otherwise supersede the federal authority regarding items 1 through 6.
21) Ban any and all future drafts or conscription of any soldiers even in war time.
22) The vote will be granted to all American residence over the age of 21 who have met one of the following requirements:
a) Served in the armed forces for a minimum of 4 years and is discharged in good standing. Active military is not granted franchise.
b) Owns property with a total worth of a minimum the equivalent of 29 troy ounces of .9999 pure gold. Property need not be exclusive ownership, but only the owners share shall be counted towards the total.
c) Pass a citizen aptitude test with a score of 97% or higher. (Note: test should be structures so that the would be a less then 2% pass rate).
23) Basically restructure the armed forces to resemble Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers.

That's all I can think of for now.

I agree with most of what you said. Good man.

You seem to be a little too libertarian for my tastes though. I like publicly funded, required education.

[Anonymous No.1903101]

1) Health care: universal health care while private insurers can cover supplementary insurance; more highly regulated pharmaceuticals to keep prices reasonable and metal shards out of children's tylenol
2) Education: mandatory school uniforms; earlier math and science education, longer school years, and abolition of teachers' unions while compensating the good ones better; new laws to protect teachers/schools from lawsuits while still being free to fire shitty teachers; force parents to attend parenting classes if their kids make bad grades. Also free public college education (maybe small tuition fees for state universities)
3) Infrastructure: widespread urban planning, selling land at expensive prices and/or tax incentives to encourage the building of tall apartment complexes rather than suburban wastelands. high-speed rail networks between financial centers. Investments in alternative fuel sources (especially solar) and funding NASA's proposal to build a solar-farming lunar colony. Also effective mass transit systems in cities.
4) sentence the entire Bush administration to death by hanging on TV; do the same with all the private military contractors and oil businessmen involved in the Iraq War. And the bankers responsible for the financial crisis. And the typical real estate and auto salesmen, just for shits and giggles. Then outlaw the death penalty.
5) Amnesty for illegal immigrants. They're already here and it'd be cheaper to grant them citizenship and pay taxes, than spend money fruitlessly trying to weed them out.
6) legalize marijuana
7) Public internet wires. Let private ISPs compete over open lines like they do in the rest of the world.

Also:
8) Strict public campaign financing. Not a cent of private financing. Congressmen need all their financial transactions and communications monitored, and any that get suspiciously wealthy should be put on trial.
9) Lower the age of consent to 16 and drinking age to 18
10) legalize gay marriage. outlaw mormonism
11) Evolution in every school. No exceptions (looking at you, kansasfags)
12) Restructure welfare to pay out higher checks to those who are working, or can otherwise prove they're actively seeking work. Diminishing checks over time. There really wouldn't be a need for so much welfare spending if we had universal health care, college education, and extensive mass transit.
13) Also hang everyone working for Fox News on TV (along with Rupert Murdoch). THEN outlaw the death penalty. I'll let people like Limbaugh slide just because they're generally more batshit insane than deceptively evil.
14) Assassinate all the North Korean government officials and get it over with.
15) Probably do the same thing with the Pakistani government. Better to let India take over them again than let the two countries start a Cold War 2.0 over which religion is less stupid than the other.
16) Tax increases on the rich and close all the massive corporate tax loopholes.
17) (once an effective transportation infrastructure is in place) place taxes on oil while giving tax incentives to electric cars and the accessories that go with them.
18) Stricter gun laws. Preferably outlaw handguns (responsible for 85% of firearm-related crime; go figure) and require people to register in advance for rifles and shotguns. Guns with fingerprint scanners and a federal database to store them would be cool too.
19) invest in renovating run-down urban areas in addition to increased law enforcement.

Sure. Let me put it like this though: Ayn Rand is an idiot, and if you belief in her basic message, I think you're a hopeless naive fool.

If not, then you hopefully recognize that sometimes the solution to some problems is the state. Completely unregulated market economies are not always the answer due to monopolies, externalities, and so on.

While I wouldn't call her an idiot, I'd call excessive. I'd hate to use this as an example, but Bio Shock makes a good case for what happens when objectivism is taken to it's extreme. Being for limited government does not mean being for no government, that's called anarchy. When it boils down to it, government has two functions that it and only it can perform: protect its citizens from an outside government's tyranny and to keep its own citizens from defrauding, burgling, raping, enslaving and murdering one another. Everything beyond that is extra. That is not to say that a government couldn't or shouldn't take on more responsibility, but that additional roles given to the government should neither be unrestricted nor permanent.

1)End the war on drugs, make each and every recreational substance controlled, but with hard drugs like amphetamines/heroin/cocaine you need to have a certain 'license' to buy them. There's also a limit how much you can buy it each month. Give teens objective education about each drug,how it acts in the brain, its withdrawal symptoms if there are such and what to do if someone ODs.
2)Re-organize school system to resemble that of South Korea's/Finland's. Education is free for legal citizens of the US.
