1. Remove All Troops from Afghanistan Immediately!
2. Remove All Troops from Iraq Immediately!
3. Bring Them All Home!
4. Give them All 30 Days Leave for R&R!
5. Upon Return to Service, Starting on Eastern Edge of Mexican Border, Troops would be Stationed All Along Border, All Armed to Patrol Border, while Corps of Engineers and/Or CB’s – Construction Battalion – Navy (SeaBees) – installs Three Lines of Barbed Wire/Razor Wire – each about Thirty Yards apart - Continually extending West, until Entire Border is Done!
6. This type of Barrier would be Cheaper, Faster, and more Practical to Maintain! Very similar to setting up a Perimeter in a War Zone. No Visual Obstructions would then block view.
7. Cameras and Flood-Lights would be installed at Strategic Distances, providing 180 degree + Peripheral Observation. Such Stations would contain Both Light and Motion Detectors also.
8. Temporary Depots and Bivouac Areas would be set up at required Distances. These would be maintained and staffed on 30-Day Rotating Duty by various Companies and Units, as deemed necessary.
9. During the Entire Time it takes to complete this Operation, these Troops would have Carte Blanche Ability to Order Food Directly from Local Small Food Businesses, like Pizza and Sub Shops. No Contracts would be honored with any major big Corporations. This would promote Business and Jobs, and Delivery opportunities to the Local Area!
10. Once the Entire Mexican Border is thus Secured, a similar Program, or Operation would be begun across the Vast Canadian Border, Adjusting for Terrain and Forest areas as necessary. Permanent Strategic Installations would also be built, to provide for Long-Term Maintenance of Patrols and Policing the Area.
11. All Off-Shore Drilling would be Stopped Immediately! All Licenses to All Oil Companies, no matter how large would be Instantly Revoked! Let them spend their exorbitant, crooked Profits on their Shyster Lawyers, while Each State and Federal Jurisdiction uses every Delaying Tactic on the Books to Postpone and Delay any and all possible Appeals!
12. Next, a National Program would be established to Promote Clean, Alternate Energy Sources, awarding Competitive Million Dollar Prizes to Companies and/or Individuals who Invent and/or Produce Affordable items for Consumer and Commercial use. Windmills and/or Solar Units, both small and large, that produce and store Electric Energy – for both Residences and
Businesses – New Businesses, New Jobs, New Growth, New Technologies – a Whole New Production and Service Industry would be Created to put America in the Forefront of Alternate Energy. Once American Homes were all Retro-Fitted, only then would International Sales be Allowed!
13. At the same time, a similar National Program would be instituted for Any and All Auto Manufacturers to Produce Low-Cost ($10,000 or Less) All-Electric Small Cars, with Major Contracts being granted for Government Fleets – City, County, State, and Federal Agencies. A Swift, and Sensible Conversion from CO2 Oil-Dependent Autos would be effected ASAP!
14. All Veterans Administration Upper Officials would be FIRED! New Officials would be Appointed – All of Whom would be Existing Disabled Veterans! Centers would be established all across America for the Convenience of access of Veterans to be Processed, Approved, and Treated Locally and Quickly! These Centers would be Manned by other Veterans, who would get Jobs and be Paid well for their Loyalty and Service to this Country!
15. All Recipients of Any ‘Bail-Out’ Funds would be given a Set Period of time to Pay Back All Funds as ‘Loans Due!’ All CEO’s and Boards of Directors from said Companies would be Investigated for Fraud, or Malfeasance of Office, and Prosecuted to the full extent of the Law! If found Guilty, Personal Assets would be Impounded for Restitution! No Exceptions!
16. All ‘Lobbying’ to Congress, or any other Government Official would be deemed Illegal, and Punishable as what it truly is - ‘Graft!’
17. No More ‘Piggy-Backing’ or Attachment of Non-Related Amendments to Any Bills Proposed would be Allowed. Shorter Bills, in Plain English, would be Required, and would replace all Legalese ‘Gobble-De-Gook!’
18. All FDA Directors and their ‘Flunkies’ would be Fired! No More Corporation Appointees with Hidden Agendas To Screw The Public any Longer! Only Certified Medical Doctors and Scientists would be Eligible for Such Important Posts – those who truly believe in Protecting the Public!
19. All Pharmaceutical Manufacturers would be Limited to setting Prices to a Cost Plus Basis – say, Twenty-Five Percent Mark-Up – No More Screwing the Public!
20. All Federal Elected Positions, of Every Level, including the Presidency - would be set to One Term! No Exceptions! No Millions of Dollars of Wasted Money of supposed ‘Political Contributions’ to BUY Lucrative Positions of Power, and ‘Non-Service! No More Contributions would be Deductible for Tax Purposes! None!
21. Finally, there would be an Honest Study done, by several Universities, to find a Simple Flat Rate Tax System that is Fair and Equitable to All Citizens and Businesses – Say that a Consensus is found for only Five Percent of ALL GROSS INCOME of All Businesses and All Individuals – All automatically Deducted through Payroll Taxes each Month – All Businesses, based on Gross Sales – No Itemization – No Expenses Deducted, or Allowed – No Oil Depletion Allowances – No Need for Filing ANY RETURNS by Anyone! Will Save a Lot of TREES! No Need for IRS – No Need for Tax Lawyers – No Need for Tax Accountants - No Need for a Zillion Other BS Taxes!
I wish I were an American just so I could vote for you for President Tom. But you'd probably not let me in either.lol the lady Canuck from the true north strong and free. I'd really like to see you be able to feed all of your own citizens adequately and house them in proper homes with education and work for one and all. I love you guys down there and want you to have what we have; enough for everyone.
nice plan 'b' dream tom...but i think we all need to climb up the leg of Jesus and find our place on his lap...hold on tight for the iminent ride we're facing....
It is nice to dream, but I just wish you'd dream in a bit shorter poems...LOL, ed (keep compainin' as it is always the squeaky wheel that gets greased...) (and no the old wreck is NOT insured since we took it off the road)
Wow! No one can accuse you of not thinking things through and providing a plan, Tom. I do not live in your country but things seem to be getting a bit "rough" all over the place. Thank you. Love and peace,
Married ten years, and more in love than ever, Robert and Marcie have everything to live for. But a terrible secret is breaking Robert's heart: he knows that Marcie is about to die...
