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.
Not putting words in his mouth but he never said he voted.
Agree with most of the list
All of the issues I listed are handled on the federal level.Originally Posted by dnaisdaillest
won't happen. he is going to focus on what got him elected. that is the economy, health care and national security. what you said will be handled by state and local officials and so you should direct you pessimism at them.Originally Posted by wawaweewa
I don't want him to even waste time on abortion, gay marriage, or religion in schools.Originally Posted by dnaisdaillest

More participants in a national plan = more fraud.
We'll see what happens. As I stated. I'm not optimistic.

Going against "you know who" is what got Kennedy killed...He need to be careful.
No, no, and no. Soldiers would be the first to suffer and they don't get paid much to begin with. $23k dollars a year with combat pay ftl

Yo, I didn't say take steps to abolish the CIA.
That's what got Kennedy killed.
I'd guess that 80% of the military budget doesn't go to pay.Originally Posted by ninjallamafromhell
