If this is a joke?
1). Any use of the phrase: 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait outside of our borders until you can. That will cost the IRS a bunch of money.
(2). We will immediately go into a two year isolationist attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports, and we'll do no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart 's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.' We'll make it here and sell it here! Since most of Wal-Mart's merchandise is imported, I doubt think they would last 2 yrs, but maybe that's a good thing.
(3). When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it coming in here. When other countries follow suite and raise there import taxes, how do you think that will effect American manufacturing exports?
(4). All retired military personnel will be required to man one of the many observation towers located on the southern border of the United States (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens. Not being retire military, I think that sounds great.
(5). Social Security will immediately return to itsoriginal state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't gettin nuttin out. Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it. Yes, this should be about as popular among senior as arthritis.
What senior hasn't put anything into SS?
(6). Welfare. -- Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test for drugs, and passing grades. So we give welfare checks to all kids with passing grades that can pass a drug test. I don't quite see the logic in this.
(7). Professional Athletes -- Steroids? The FIRST time you check positive you're banned from sports ... for life. Finally, something that makes sense.
(8). Crime -- We will adopt the Turkish method, i.e., the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more 'life sentences'. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for the victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation, etc. The press will love it.
(9). One export of ours will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat. However, a bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil. You must be living in the wrong century. The rest of the world is not exactly beating our door down to get our wheat.
(10). All foreign aid, using American taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately, lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask The American People if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision as to whether, or not, it's a worthy cause. This mean we want be able to buy off the governments of third world countries. Well maybe that's not a bad idea.
(11). The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress. At least Congress would get something done.
(12). The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc. This should depend on who sings it. We should also require they know the words.
My apology is offered if I've stepped on anyone's toes ..... nevertheless.... No, I think understands your point of view and mental state.
