Default If I were the president

We all complain about Bush or Obama so I thought to myself what would I do if I had 4\8 years in the white house. Here goes...If I were the president....

I would shut down the Department of homeland security. The millions spent would be better spent on hiring, training and outfitting local law enforcement.

I would shut down the A.T.F. again millions spent to do what law enforment already did. Americans dont need all these special interest sub groups in the Fed government telling them what to do. Again the money would be better spent on local law enforment, training and equiping.

Secure our borders and let the national guard and immigration enforcement
work together without there hands being tied to secure our nation.

Disband welfare for all able bodied citizens. While using the money to create state projects to employ the previous welfare recipiants.

Take all of these savings thus far and pump it into Education, day care for single mothers and family services.

Rebuild social security with a simple system of you get what you paid in. If you didnt pay in you get nothing out!

Decentralize the Federal Government and give state governments more rights to deal with their constituants. If one state votes yes on Gay marriage then that state recognises and pays benifits to gay couples but if a state votes no on the issue that state has no obligation to validate the contract.

Pull the U.S. out of Nafta and close down all incentives and tax loopholes that send U.S. jobs overseas. Reduce taxes on all goods manufactured in the U.S. and increase taxes on goods made by American companies outside the U.S.

Close most military bases outside the U.S. Big$$$ savings. If a country wishes to have American bases on its soil for its protection it must shoulder the cost of Keeping American troops on its soil.

End all foreighn finacial aid in times of non emergancy. Example Isreal. Isreal is armed enough to protect itself.

Benefits to Israel of U.S. Aid
Since 1949 (As of November 1, 1997)

Foreign Aid Grants and Loans

$74,157,600,000

Isreal accounts for 1/3 of U.S. foreighn aid and we pay out roughly 14,000 dollers annually per Isreali! (Source: Washington report on middle east affairs)

Mutual aid pact Yes, Endless finacial taxpayer burden...nooooo!

So I figured with my common sense aproach ive saved the U.S. billions and billions while fixing stuff in the process!

Can you do better?
