These are the things I would attempt were I elected to lead the free world. I am publishing this list now to make sure that I no longer even imagine getting elected, since, having told the truth about what I would try to do, I am 100% unelectable.
1. Eliminate all Federal wealth transfer payments of all types - welfare, medicare and medicaid and social security, and college grants/loans, and all of the rest. Substitute a fixed amount paid to every citizen over age 21 years of age. Let the amount be variable with inflation but limited to an amount that is "affordable" for the Treasury (legal definition required). Ball park payment to each citizen would be $10,000 a year, just for waking up in the morning. Read "In Our Hands" to get the details of this plan. As of 2009, the Federal Government paid over $16,000 for each poor person in this country. We can see how much good that is doing.
2. Eliminate all Federal taxes and implement the Fair Tax (with a Constitutional Amendment which prevents the politicians from adding income taxes back into the mix at a later date).
3. Privatize NASA or move it to DoD if it is judged to be a national defense program.
4. Eliminate federal coercive backing of unions. Folks may cooperatively organize any way they like, but they may not compel anyone or any business/corporation. They may not prohibit any free citizen from entering into a relationship with any business or employer on any terms to which the two parties agree.
5. Hire the flood of unemployed lawyers (as a result of parts 2 and 4 above) to find stupid laws to get rid of - pay them by the number of words they eliminate from federal, state and local laws/regulations.
6. Eliminate the departments of agriculture and education. These things are far too important to allow the federal government to keep messing about in them. Caveat: Move the DoA to DoD if judged a national defense program.
7. Eliminate all federal regulation of health care or health insurance, except that the federal government may act to defend an individual's right to buy health care from any company in any state or nation, without being compelled by state laws to include "mandates" in the coverage offered.
8. Ditch the SEC and the SIPC and Fannie and Freddie and all the other federal institutions that collectivize risk. They make it possible to believe that the buyer should not beware, and other wise just add cost and regulatory waste.
9. Nuke the Fed.
10. Raise the Congress' salary an even $1,000,000 per year, with no additional benefits of any sort - no pension, no employer provided health care, no perks, no nothing; if they can't figure it out with 1 million dollars, they can just suffer. Their salary is payable in years in which they balance the budget.
11. Defend an idividual's right to stupidly discriminate based on any arbitrary characteristics they would like to as employers, land owners, or schools. Defend an individual's right to ingest any high risk intoxicant they choose. Defend an individual's right to pay for or be paid for any cooperative transaction, sexual or otherwise.
