If you were President what would you do for the country?
You also have the Senate and House majority
I'd hope we could keep this civil and on topic

I'll chime back in later and see what you would do
And give my take

I'd try to find a way to shrink the size, reach and dependence on federal government. Maybe try to influence society back towards a more moral path.....

If that can't be done probably settle for just lining my pockets with as much $ as I could to protect myself against the coming fall much as I could. Lol

Stop illegal immigration and drug smuggling would be a great start.

Do something special to benefit veterans and their families. If we are going to forgive student debt, we should forgive the debt of our veteran’s children first.

Enforce border laws.

Mandate some form of ensuring manufacturing jobs AND American technology stayed in the U.S.

Prosecute crimes utilizing guns to the fullest extent of the law.

Sex crimes against children get 2 maximum appeals and then it’s public execution.

Build more jails. Institute and enforce the death penalty for egregious crimes.

Invest in real education in schools. Real life classes to prepare our kids for finances, how to save, work ethic, understanding the law, their rights and the repercussions if they screw up.

Anyone on any kind of tax payer aid has mandatory drug screening and physicals. Term limits if applicable that they have to work if possible.

Mandatory sentences if you’re a Public official and you’re circumventing the law.

Give as much power back to the states as possible, I think over time groups/ populations would gravitate towards states who had laws that best protect their interests. I would also spend more time with regular folks from everywhere to maintain the pulse of American concerns. But I think the biggest things would be to actually be open and honest instead of shirking responsibility. People make mistakes, own it, learn from it and try not to repeat it.

Gunnleg I like ur last one. Public officials should be held to a higher standard. They all say they should until they get caught. They all say the buck stops here until the bucks headed their direction too.

I’d take it further and say that some should be charged with treason. Don’t know how it would ever stick, but it would stop the foolishness related to not putting your country and her interest first.

Lots of good thoughts...I'd add ....mandate 2 years in our armed forces with pay and benefits....no woke or DEI stuff either.

Nationalize everything.

Close the border stop supporting liberal colleges more trade schools take better care of vets. stop supporting the rest of the world at the expense of out own people.

how does this meet the "no politics" rule?????????

It's not about left or right?

It's a thought experiment
Not a bashing session

Some good ideas already
But think just a bit about what would be the outcome of your ideas
And ask yourself, then what
Every action has unintentional consequences

eliminate tax withholding.

EVERYBODY cuts a quarterly check to .gov for their share of the services they (the royal "they") demand.

I would round up all illegals , and offer 30 days free plane ride out of the country 1 way never to come back! Only libs and America haters.

And that's where you'll lose this group. They can't grasp the unintended consequences thing

I'm trying

Eliminate at least 40% of the federal government.

There's always unintended consequences, you need accept that and prepare for second and tertiary effects of your decisions, however if you make no decisions you hamstring progress and styimy creativity and ingenuity.
