What Change would Nt'ers like to see.
Here's my list:
- Rescind Patriot Act or at the very least rework it.
- Renegotiate NAFTA and GATT
- End Corp. Offshore Tax Haven/ Money Laundering loopholes
- Force the SEC to actually do it's job and not aid corruption
- Cut Military Budget (both main and supplemental, which stands at 1.055 $trillion right now) by at least 25%
- Close and withdraw from at least 25% of overseas bases
- Reduce Federal involvement in state matters
- Give us real BLS data, not the cooked government numbers
- Reduce fiscal spending by at least 20%
- Serious look into medicare fraud and take some action
- shore up the borders
- end the "war on drugs" or at least heavily cut funding thereby killing it for all intents and purposes
- get rid of "homeland security"
Things I think we can do without
- national civilian brigades
- active policy of "spreading the wealth" (if he mends the problems with the current form of "globalization" this will take care of itself)
- not buying into the carbon credit scheme.
- put gay marriage, abortion, religion in schools, fairness doctrine, and other not so important issues on the back burner
Obama says he'll give us change. If he even acts on a 1/4 of these I 'll give him his props and will vote for him next time.
I'm not optimistic though.
We'll see how it turns out.
