I would create a department of efficiency, to make sure that every last tax dollar went to good use. The government needs to be efficient, and if it was, it should reduce taxes while benefeits the same, if not better.
I also have had an idea floating around in my mind recently that goes a little something like this: We split the government up into parts, and make them compete. We'll take education as an example. Education would be split up into parts, and they would compete against each other for tax money. This should have the effect of privitazation, except we still get them as free public services. I haven't thought this through 100% in my head yet, so I don't know exactly how it would work, but I am confident that it CAN work.
Also, I might start a 'manhatton project' of sorts, except instead of building bombs, we research an alternative fuel/and or energy source. If the government put as much effort into alternative energy as they did the atomic bomb, we would have it by now. Not only would it reduce our dependancy on foreign oil, it would REMOVE our dependancy on foreign oil. If this were to happen, we wouldn't have to worry about the middle east. Let the rest of the world have the oil rich region. It shouldn't matter to us if we don't need it.
Sorry, I know that my writing is less than coherant at the moment. I just hope it's understandable.
wouldn't a department of effeciency be a waste of tax dollars? thus rendering it pointless?

edit-rant: the island really needs a dictator (a real mother phucker) to get it's act together.

I would make damn sure that homosexual marriages was legalized.
i would elect Cloud No.9 to head all other departments.
That's more immoral than ignoring the problems in Africa.
As for if I was president of the United States: http://www.lp.org/
More or less.
I would go on Eyes on the World and repeatedly insult the President.
Also I'd wonder how it happened considering that I'm 18 and British.

I actually agree with this.
Him or Marilyn Mason. One of the two. Seriously.
Hello Pika Art by Dr Unne ~~~ godhatesfraggles
Why?
If I was president of the US~I'd converge with asia! And have Kpop songs played all day long at schools everywhere! And our national sport would be SOCCER/FOOTBALL....
and every night at 6 we'd have ice cream for everyone in the world!!!!
okay so not the best president vbut at least we'd be having a good time.
Everyday I wish that I could be the one, for you...

Because I agree with most of what they do and the country needs a good shaking up.
Hello Pika Art by Dr Unne ~~~ godhatesfraggles
lets see.
- form a department of anti-curruption
- universal healthcare along the lines of Great Britain. c'mon it's the 21st century
- free job retraining for people on welfare provided that they teach at an inner city public school for 1 year upon receiving a degree
- manhatten project for alternative fuels
- continue to fund the X-prizes for furthur goals in space (x prize gives cash rewards for acheiving goals in space)
- increase funding for public schools
- Ministry of Silly Walks. Always good.
- I'd force all students in public schools to take a course on logic and philosophy.
- I'd support conservation and anti-pollution laws.
- I'd increase funding of public assistance for women and children.
- I'd work a great deal on ridding the inner cites of gang violence and crime, both by increasing the police and by making sure that the kids get a decent education.
- I'd increase funding to public transportation, but it would have at least minimal security included. The time has come for America to have transportation systems like Europe and Japan.
- I'd have a flat tax to pay for everything.
What? No. Where do you get an idea like that?wouldn't a department of effeciency be a waste of tax dollars? thus rendering it pointless?
Also, I would completely revolutionize the public school system. No more bull, no more busywork. School would focus on rational thought, not pointless facts.
I like governments that are inefficient. Efficient governments tend to be totalitarian. Inefficiency keeps the government from screwing too much up.
