Thread: El Supremo

Ok, I'll bite.

I would accept.

Mandate two year term limits. Period. Two years only. No two years of one and then the other. No more pensions anymore for Representatives and Congress. Stop all previous pensions for the same. They must use the same Healthcare available to everyone else, on their own dime. No more extra benefits not afforded to everyone else. As public Servants, they cannot be any wealthier when they leave office, as when they entered.

Police and Secret Service can only use the same kind of weapons afforded to the general public.

No more Lobbying.

Slowly bring all our military forces and equipment back home. We will not protect other countries that will not spend their own treasure to protect themselves. We will not have any more of our servicemen die for any country or peoples who are not willing to die for it themselves!

No more dollars to countries that hate us.

Balanced budget! No spending beyond what comes in. Period. No more borrowing. Pay down debt.

Internal Revenue Service. You're outa here. Begone!

Department of Education. Gone. (Do you realize how much money they suck out of the coffers? And they do not really physically educate anyone.) Look it up. Pretty please.

10% Flat Tax.

If you are healthy, you work! No more Freeloaders. If you don't work, you don't eat!

If you get Federal money and food for your children, and you get pregnant, you don't get more money. You will be given the option of sterilization though!

I would have thirty days so I'm sure I could think of more. Ya think?

I'm fine with all of that, but there was no mention of Pinaud and tutus.

Okey-dokey! FREE Pinaud of your choice for as long as needed.

You would probably be assassinated within 72 hours and since your security had most of their weapons taken away per your policy...well.

Nope. That's still covered. All security staff are required to wear lilac vegetal, so no one is willing to come near!

No WMD permitted!

Nah! They would love me. Have you seen the ratings Congress gets? They would want me to be their CEO for life, like they wanted George Washington.

Hey..........my middle name is George! Coincidence? I really couldn't do any worse than what we have now!

They'd be custom made for you on request.

Interesting idea:

I would convince as much of the populace as I could that my ideas for my subjects were better for them than any individual could possibly think up for themselves.

I would dumb down my subjects in a host of ways.

I would make as many of them as possible dependent on my government by duping them into thinking their voices were being heard and their feelings and desires were being "respected". I would then gleefully dance in private knowing that dependence means being controlled.

Oh, gosh, I could have fun with dreaming in this thread, but I'll stop here for now....
