My plan.
A) Disband the existing educational standards. When all students can think about is passing (Or cheating through) the test so they can play Xbox. It leads to huge current losses in national educational levels. The only reason we dodged a bullet on computer literacy is that computer gaming encouraged citizens to educate themselves so we have not ended up with a huge need for computer experts.
B) Replace the existing standards with a hybrid of science/exploration education with nothing but technical training. For those who want to learn they will not have to compete with those who rather not as education will not be mandatory anymore. You want to drop out? Go ahead and apply for McDonalds (Or equivalent minimum wage hard work) at 11. A couple of hard nights later and I am quite sure most will want to get the technical education. It may sound extremely harsh but no words is going to convince these next generations what happens when you dont take education seriously.
C) Disbanding NASAs involvement in Manned spaceflight. The past 4 years have proven that NASA will do anything for the bucks including misleading the public about the issues surrounding Ares 1 until now its failure will likely wreck any chance at a return to the moon. Gov will assist those developing the technology to make us a space fairing race a realality without all the "agreements" and stuff that cause a simple return to the moon to become a political nightmare.
D)Change the welfare system. This part of course makes me unelectable but the welfare system needs to be changed to further help people who actually do make a difference. Precendence needs to be given to those who are trying to get a better education that gets them into a position to develop the next great technolgies. Who knows how many Einstiens are more worried about what they can afford to eat for dinner instead of his/her theories.
E) Phase out direct foreign aid. Instead of spending billions keeping entire nations dependant on us. Spend billions developing cheap solar water purifiers and aids treatments that can save many millions.
F) A massive project to develop cheap yet effective housing. We have to move away from wood housing. Which is easily damaged and trailer parks that are death traps and a symbol of issues in the nation instead of being the frontier. If a 2 story house costs just 50 thousnad and could be erected with just a small team with a week. Small communties would see a huge boost which would help the national economy. And if they are not easily damaged insurance companies would gladly tank the fees in order to get many more customers. And it inspire confidence in young generations eager to get out on their own. Im thinking domes of cheap carbon based materials (Kind of like bullet proof glass except a tad more flexable material that can be made of carbon harvested from various plant life instead of oil supply oh and of course made to be unvieable in the entire visable spectrum) There seems to be a mutltitude of projects moving towards a goal like this. But it seems to be of low priority in the face of the housing bubble collapse.
