Free healthcare. More jobs. Cheaper cost of living and higher minimum wage. And to make porn illegal. Tighten up jails. Make the death sentence applicable to anyone that has committed more than three violent crimes. If you are on death row for more than a year you're gone. We waste too much money on people in jails that don't deserve it.

Abolish the death penalty (even though I think it is a state issue), tighten gun laws significantly even to the point that they were completely banned, make a law that anyone called Bush can never be the President of the US of A again

Id also like to change many Americans opinion that they are the only people who inhabit this world. There are a helluva lot of other people and cultures out there that can be learned from but a lot of americans I know don't know anything outside they state they live in. Present company here at AMHD being the exception. Well some of them anyway! And that's not their fault. Its just the environment they have grown up in and the media they are subject to!

But I wasn't born in America so I can never become pres. I think with my policies above most people would be glad of that!

Why would you want to abolish the death penalty? You think that murders and dangerous criminals should be running around freely? Or do you think they should just sit in ajil for the rest of their lives sucking up the taxes you pay out of every paycheck.

There are more than likely more people in the state they live in than in all of Aussieland even though Aussieland is roughly the size of the U.S. Therefore, more stupid people per capita. The really intelligent Americans haven't found this site yet since they are busy. Busy setting the trends in the nice things you Aussies will be using next year...like the computer you are using. Even if you were born here, we wouldn't vote for you since you sound like a sissy socialistic wanker dude. Really!

For the most part I would try not to spend it unless the provisions are mandatory or, [if my discression allows],if the spending is really necessary . Beyond that the executives job is to make the system and the spending as efficient as he has latitude to decide.

Well if I had the funds, first thing is to deport the moochers and anti-American US citizens that take their freedom for granted. Secondly anyone that spends anytime at all on these boards knows that we need to devote funds to international education just in case they want back in.

I would establish affordable health care. Making taking care of your health a greater priority than fixing what you didn't take care of.

I would completely restructure Congress and establish term limits.

Abolish frivolous law suits and rewrite insurance laws.

Create a national driver's license instead of individual states complicating matters.

Increase funding small business start-ups. They are crucial to economic success.

And on the second day...
