Non partisan – I want Utopia. But we can dream, right?

If a US Citizen is able bodied and of clinically sound mind – put them to work.

Teach the children. Teach them that Doritos+Pepsi+Barney != childhood. Free up the Billions spent the obese, nicotine addicted, anti-social, offspring. Instead spend the man-hours & tax funds on teaching America’s one-night accidents how to contribute to the GDP. Please also teach them that broccoli > Lipitor.

Socialized health-care? Sure, that’d be fun… but it shouldn’t be necessary. Teach people the difference between a Snickers and a turkey sandwich. Show them what inhalation of burning chemicals does to tissues.
-
Teach adolescents (ages 8-18) that earning 1% on $500 checking account while paying 12% on a $20k boosted IS300 is not the definition of disposable income. This will go along way for the tax base & financial markets.
-
Show me legislation or other government plan (local, state, and/or federal) to negate the trends of higher education costs. I don’t want to spend $60k/yr for tuition… albeit 19 years from now.
-
If you’re an illegal alien, go home. Come back when you are willing to stand in line and pay taxes.
-
Rewrite the tax codes, both private & corporate. It shouldn’t look like a bell-curve.
-
Elected officials spend more time with constituents, less time with lobbyists & special interest groups. Not every Organization needs a personal congressman, nor a state funded kitty.
-
Cap bullshit lawsuits that do nothing more then bogg down the judicial systems and make bottom feeders into the current day nuveau riche.
-
If I believe in Gamblor, then so be it. Government has no place interfering in law-abiding religions (ask the pilgrims), and it damned sure has no place pushing it’s God-damned religion on me. Leave that to the cracked out man loving televangelists.
-
If a same sex couple wants to get married, good for them. They can have a religious ceremony with unicorns for all I care, it’s their religious right (if the religion allows). The government’s place is to decide how to collect taxes from them, that’s it.
-
Spend $5000 to arm 5 soldiers with a competent weapon and a reliable radio. Stop spending $5000 to arm 1 soldier with over engineered 007 tech, while arming the other 4 soldiers with a side arm and a $5 walkie-takie.
-
There is no cold war. There may be one on the horizon, but not with a USSR level combatent. Start preparing for guerilla warfare, they aren’t just small brush fires in far away lands anymore… You front Yard is ablaze.
-
Iraq – We are there, that’s not going to change. If we leave before the Iraqi’s are “ready”, then we’ll be back to square one when (not if) the civil war takes hold. Deal with it. The sect-warring has gone on for GENERATIONS, we are not going to be able to quell that with a flick of the wrist. Bolster the Iraqi government and show them (gov’t) how to provide for it’s people.
One thing about this mid-term test makes me very happy… the public actually cared enough to turnout and vote. A statement was made, and wether or not I’m happy about the outcome, its good to see the people show some interest.
This momentum makes '08 even more crucial.
