if you were president of your country for one day, what would you (really) do?

[SBTNW]

ok now, is only 1 DAY, and 1 day only. 24 hours.
please be real, no "i would bring Elvis back from the dead" bullshit.
just things that are actually plausible.

There's really not enough time, but I would say forgive student loans for those making less than $60,000/year. But I have my own selfish motives....I'd spend a year paying off my credit card debt, then I'd spend the next couple years saving...after that I could easily buy a house in my area, with my parents helping w/ a downpayment. You can get a fairly large house for 60-70K here.

If your dumb enough to mistake "president" for "god" then you have issues all unto yourself. And unless you are in a country that has a president then what can you do that is anything but self serving to that country, you can exactly heal the world over night or George Bush, despite his best efforts woulve made it happen already.

Personally, get rid of my countries debt. Clean slate for all, except for those selfish fucks that abuse the system.

 

[BlueBalls]

i would try to fuck my enemies

Right up the ass!!!!!

 

[BigSwede]

Replace the government.

 

[Fresno]

I would try to help people, within my country or outside it.

 

[angelfire1972]

a day isn't enough

 

[dave_rhino]

Only 1 day? Shit, I'd probably have breakfast in bed, read the papers. Go to a few meetings in the afternoon. Get told by some men in suits what I should say next time I make an appearance on TV. Eat dinner.

And possibly if I have enough time in the evening, shave my hair into a mohican and colour it pink. Then fuck my wife and go to bed.


The next day when I wake up as myself I can think "haha, look at that presidents new hair do, what a fucking hero".

 

[Peter Gazinya]

Raid the treasury.

 

[Jason z]

make free hbo for everybody.. ha ha.. jk

 

[bombardier52]

Interns?

I would pass a bunch of laws that actually help people. I'd outlaw SUV driving except on the weekends. I'd mandate that car companies sell only 4 cyl, lightweight cars to consumers as their "Primary Vehicle" and they can sell other cars/trucks to consumers as their "Secondary Vehicle." Secondary vehicles can only be driven on the weekend.

I'd institute a national Public Transportation Fee -- $50 a year--to be allocated for Subway systems in the Top 100 Cities in this nation. Cities that already have Public Trans can use funds for maintenance.

I'd cut the Defense Dept Budget by 40% and fund the FDA and Education for every child in the U.S. from Preschool through 4 years of college. The college funds get allocated to students as long as they agree to serve the country for their first 2 years upon graduation.

I'd close atleast 70 bases we have across the Globe. I'd use the monies to fund Military Family Benefits (vacations to see stationed troops, etc)

I'd cut Corporate Tax rate to 25% but I would close every offshore loophole I could find.

I'd outlaw Lobbying politicians. I'd dismantle 527 organizations. The only election money I'd allow would be private citizen donations of MAX $100. I'd give free television time and newspaper access to politicians and if they "lie" or "make a personal attack" in an advertisment, I'd boot them from being elected. Only issues are allowed.

I'd immediately mandate Single-payer, Univ Health for All, modeled on the French/Canadian/English system.

I'd legalize Marijuana and allow Corporations to manufacture and sell it under gov't mandated regulations. I'd treat it as Alcohol Consumption in criminal law. DUIs, No open smoking in the street etc.

I would take 15% of Big Carbon Company profits (Big Oil, Big Coal, Big Electricity) and create a NATIONAL ALTERNATIVE ENERGY COMMISSION where we would SERIOUSLY DEVELOP next gen reusable fuels.

I would end the Iraq Occupation immediately.

I would offer amnesty to all undocumented workers in this country but I would halt all legal immigration for 10 years.

I would penalize companies for offshoring and outsourcing manufacturing jobs.

I would tear up NAFTA and suspend trade with China unless human rights are written into the trade contract.

I would normalize relations with Cuba immediately.

I would make all elections--Primaries or National--happen on the same day at the same time. No single state should have more importance than another.

I can get all of this done in 24 hours.

 

[ballzano]

I would try to introduce legislation to bring the "father" back into the american household. The government really is the be all to end all in most single family households, and my taxes are too high in a depressed economy to justify it.

If I learned my civics correctly there is only two things on that list that the President can actually do. One is an easy thing that you could acomplish in a day (killing NAFTA) but the other (Ending the Iraq occupation immediately) would be impossible unless some laws of physics could be suspended.

 

[Legzman]
