I realize that the President's powers are limited, but these are the policies I would like to see implemented. I will update this over time.
I would simplify the tax and entitlement codes along lines like in my first post. One key part of that is putting large fines on companies who hide money outside the US to avoid taxes. Another key part is cutting entitlements, particularly social security. I would also increase funding for NASA and science.
I would task the FTC with breaking up Facebook and Instagram, Google search from YouTube, and Amazon as a product selling company form Amazon as a place where vendors can list and sell goods.
I would pass a law that made any product which was intentionally and explicitly addictive (such as Facebook, Instagram, gambling, tobacco products, certain video games, certain pornography, alcohol, etc.) to be illegal for anyone under 18, and require them to have large explicit warnings every time they are used.
These last two rules combined should free up the open markets to produce good competitive products that will benefit Americans and the world.
I would pass a law that said that no federally elected official could hold a government position for more then 10 out of any 15, or maybe 20, year span. This should limit corruption, lifetime politicians, and elected officials completely out of touch with their constituents.
I would try to increase, perhaps double the number of immigrants who can immigrate here each year and do away with the lottery system. Instead make it first come first served. I would like to significantly cut the red tape and make the immigration process cheaper, easier and more efficient for the immigrants and the agencies in charge of it. I would support having an open boarder with Canada, making some kind of agreement that allows citizens from each country to move freely across and work in each-others nations with a path to citizenship. I would also support very free unilateral immigration reciprocity with many European nations. I would also make securing the boarder a priority involving studies to figure out the best way to do that. This may include a wall or other barriers and may include other processes.
As for foreign policy I would like to see us get out of the Middle East. Support Israel and push for an agreement on creating a Palestinian nation that Israel and Palestine can agree to. I would get out of Japan, let them defend themselves. They are a close ally in Asia and we can trust them. Let them have a military! Make a deal with China involving them respecting international intellectual property rights and in return we have free trade and less of a military presence in Asia. Part of that deal could involve them restricting North Korea's nuclear capability and us lifting all restrictions on Chinese products in the US. I would also like to get rid of the CIA and cut funding to the military industrial complex by 20%. I would increase military spending on technology and cyber warfare and beef up reserves, while downsizing our physical presence around the world. I would like to add a part to the constitution that limits US intervention overseas, especially our involvement in regime changes. I would like to get rid of as many nukes as I could talk the generals into.
