Replace ObamaCare with the Whole Foods Recommendations

Robust domestic drilling program

Cut Cap and Balance

 

[Avorysuds]

End the wars

Balance the budget

End secret prisions

End the DoE

End Homeland security

Look at SS, MC/MC

End welfare

Get Government out of HC as much as possible

Let people be free to make or break themselves

Free the American people

Then look at the tax code and the possibility of lowering taxes and ending taxes on all business’s/corperations.

We could outlaw the Democratic PArty.
Oh you want serious.

We could tax the Democratic Party to death.


It's actually not complicated. We need to create incentives to work and invest and do away with things that create disinentives to work and invest.
99 weeks of unemployment benefit is a disincentive to work. The highest corporate tax rate in the world is a disincentive to invest. A complex tax code that requires paid accountants and lawyers to comply with it and find ways around it is a disincentive to work and invest.
So:
Simplify the tax code
Lower taxes across the board.
Adopt a flat tax
Reduce benefits to people perfectly capable of working
Eliminate any subsidy to manufacturers in the name of "protecting" anything.
Strengthen the rule of law with tort reform, to encourage risk taking.

 

[Oddball]

Repeal Obuttheadcare.

Repeal the current financial regulatory "reform".

Abolish cap gains & death taxes, as a precursor to repeal of the 16th Amendment and abolition of the income tax.

Privatize Fannie & Freddy and get the feds out of the banking business altogether.

Eliminate the foreign military installations where the wars have been over for decades, in advance of bring ALL of America's troops home to defend our own borders.

CUT (as opposed to reducing the projected baseline increases) spending by no less than 15% across the board, in advance of abolishing the Departments of Energy, Commerce, Education, HHS, Fahterl...erm...Homeland Security....

And that's just the short off-the-top-of-my-head list.

That'd free up lots of money in the private sector to fuel economic growth.

 

[Avorysuds]

Oh yeah, End the Fed.
