If I were President, someone here would probably assassinate me.


My focuses:


#1. Call on congress to reduce wasteful spending.  No more corporate welfare.  No more farm subsidies for commercial farms.  No more paying to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly on the job.  Repurpose or sell all unused Federal Properties that cost taxpayers $25B annually to maintain.  Make the government more efficient and actually listen to DHHS on ways to save $9B annually.  No more luxurious trips to conferences for government employees on the taxpayers dime, no more spending money on private jets.  Reduce foreign aid too, as well as involvement in foreign conflict.


#2. Education would be my top priority.  I'd do away with common core, and ensure that all schools were properly funded.  Our children are the future.  They are, in my opinion, the most important thing to focus on.  If our children aren't properly educated then what will become of our future?  I'd also look to reduce the burden that our future generations have with college debt.


#3. Gun Control.  This is the one that very likely gets me assassinated by someone here.  Require all gun owners to have a license that must be renewed every five years.  The license will require a test on safety knowledge, as well as a background check.  A gun safety course would be required the first time you apply for a gun license. 


#4. Welfare.  I wouldn't require drug testing, because that's a waste of money.  I wouldn't require recipients to work either.  Instead I'd call for a separate office to be set up that would hunt for jobs for those who are unemployed.  They would help unemployed people find employment, gain skills that will help them get employed, as well as help them create a resume.  


#5. Immigration..  I'd go after employers that hire illegal immigrants, and create a path to citizenship for law abiding citizens who are willing to pay so many years of back taxes as well.  I wouldn't build a wall because that too would be a waste of money.  


#6. Legalize Recreational marijuana.

 

#7. No more private prisons.  Release all non-violent drug offenders from prison as well.  Nobody should be put in jail for marijuana for longer than they are hijacking an airplane.  


#8. Call for no more spying on American Citizens without a warrant. 

 

#9. Reduce the corporate tax for corporations that hire exclusively in the United States, and close loopholes for things like Corporate Inversion.  This one won't make me popular either.

 

#10. Demilitarize police.  Another that won't make me popular.  Body Cameras are a must too.


#11. Call for a raise to the minimum wage to $10/hour, with raises adjusted for inflation every time congress gives themselves a raise.  


#12. Campaign finance reform.  This is another high on my priority list.  And another that will not be popular.  


And as I'm assassinated shortly after being elected, my last thoughts will be "I hope I chose my VP well."
