Ok, here is just a few measly ideas.
Three months, for every citizen, soldier, diplomat, whatever to come home. No consulats, no nothing.
Zero help to any other country for one year. None. Take care of americans.
All returned military are at schools or border, respect the veterans.
Closed borders. No one gets in. Sorry.
Reevaluate govt.
Smaller. Not bigger.
Welfare is temporay.
Just a start. Tired of typing on phone.

Government needs a good douching. Welfare need to be redone as well. No more steak and shrimp for food stamps. I just love how they can go in and buy about whatever they want with food stamps. Our justice system needs to be redone as well. Anyone that likes Sean Penn and the rest of the liberal celebrities needs to be executed! Well, most of em anyway..lol

Deebo,

I can empathize with your feelings toward foreigners; however, America was not founded on keeping the foreigners out. To the contrary, we allowed every race, color, creed and political persuasion into the U.S. from the very beginning. What we did not do is to allow others to become citizens. Citizenship was a privilege. There is something I want you to take into consideration. Frederick Bastiat, who wrote the book The Law (and is very popular in Libertarian circles) wrote something that I'd like to quote a part of from another article:

"Bastiat praised the merchants for their position on agricultural products, but excoriated them for their hypocrisy in wanting protectionism for themselves. "You demand privilege for a few," he wrote, whereas "I demand liberty for all."

Biography of Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850)

America was founded on the foundational beliefs that America is the promised land, the biblical Israel. Additionally, the notion of Liberty is a Christian concept as well.

"Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." II Corinthians 3 : 17

If you want to rebuild America, you have to renounce the modern day money changers. Offer incentives for employers to hire Americans. Tax those countries that send in goods made in slave states. We cannot compete with slave labor without either taxing the foreign profiteers and / or becoming a slave state ourselves. Get the government out of welfare.

Resister wrote a bunch of other stuff, then he wrote this...

I actually agree completely.

EDIT: Holy Shit! Deebo is ALIVE!

And we should care what a French Politician said because?

I think that perhaps we have lost sight of what we are supposed to be and it is our own fault as a country. Franklin Roosevelt was an advocate of the Monroe Doctrine although we winded up in WW II over a heinous attack by the Japanese. Maybe the issues of isolationism and immigration (legal) are two separate ideas. We should be isolationists in that we take care of our country and let the world kill each other if they want. However the Resister does make a valid point in that we are all a bunch of mutts. We just have to make sure there are rules that are followed in it. We are not living in the same times as our founding fathers were. Things change.

 

[rice paddy daddy]

Offer incentives for employers to hire Americans?
How about this - any employer caught hiring an illegal goes to jail. The 2nd one caught hiring an illegal goes to jail for twice as long as the first.
E-Verify. The program is in place. Whatever federal bureaucrat is in charge of this program, which doesn't even work, needs to go to jail as well.

There is your employer "incentive" Mr Resiter - follow the stinkin' law or go to jail.
When is this country going to quit paying lip service to the laws on the book? There is another thread here about is this still a country of laws. The only laws that seem to be enforced are those who keep working, heterosexual, Christian, American CITIZENS down.

 

[retired guard]

First we have to close the borders and get the illegals out. Then we can admit people based on it's good for the country not they want to collect welfare on one or more identities and work under the table under another. Not to mention selling drugs and gang banging.

 

[PaulS]

We have a functional immigration system if we use it. The problem is it is not used and it is even circumvented by the feds to gain an advantage at the polls at the cost of our financial future.

Man where can I get shrimp and steak on about 4.43 per day? Average amount of food stamps is $133 per month.

Now you want to stop illegal immigration that is easy. Re-issue social security cards with a card that can't be duplicated to all citizens and those that are here on a work visa. Any person caught working without the proper card arrest the person that hired them and give them some jail time and a strong fine the first time. A second time they lose their business the same as a mobster would lose all of his property if caught and convicted.

I agree that our justice system needs to be redone though take the business out of it of running prisons as now one in the system you will never get out of it.

As for the liberals I guess the same could be said about conservatives however people have a right to say what they believe even if you don't like it. That is unless you want a totalitarian government.

Not a bad set of priorities, but I would add one more..."Speak softly and carry a Big Stick". I would create a some what smaller but more elite and effective military and more importantly I wouldn't be afraid to use it. I would inform a country that posed a threat or crossed America one time and one time only very politely "not a good idea", if they insisted despite, I would make them pay a very dear price for doing so. If I conquered it...I wouldn't be giving it back either!!!

For example...lets take the muslim middle east extremist. They can hate America, I don't care. They can live under what ever form of government or laws they want. They can kill who ever they want. But I would also tell them from day one, the first time they fly a plane into a building on our shores or territory, the first time they high jack a plane, I would take Mecca off the world map in no uncertain terms! Im not into world domination, but Im not a door mat either and nor will my country be one.

I have seen them buy steak and stuff with food stamps MANY times. My stepdaughter used to work as Publix when she was in school and said that almost every day someone would come in and get seafood and steak with food stamps. I have been in line before and have had them buying steak,chops and a buggy full of junk food and then pull out their ebt card. All while wearing $200 shoes,gold all over and then go out and get in their Escalade with 22in spinners!!

I agree that prisons are being run as businesses instead of what they are meant for..

As for liberals and conservatives having the right to say what they want. There is freedom of speech even though the liberal side has ruined this country..

 

[PaulS]

Right, confiscate the business and remove all the jobs because of an undocumented worker. How about we fine the business for the misdemeanor on a progressive fine system and remove the undocumented worker. That will keep the company in business and people working.

Liberals have ruined this country but we have had more conservative congresses and presidents since WWII than liberals. Fact is both parties have brought us here.

As for the food stamps perhaps I'm shopping in the wrong stores though I've not seen a Publix since I left Florida but we do have Kroger's which I think is similar.

We need to stop giving BILLION in aid to foreign countries where most of the population would just assume see us dead!! Spend the money here in our own country! Hell, we just gave like $1.3 billion to Egypt alone this year! But cut MANY American jobs due to budget cuts!! You would think those jobs would help with the economy..

 

[Inor]

Have you noticed these big-government types always want to confiscate other peoples' stuff? First they tried it with gold, then they wanted to confiscate guns, now they want to confiscate your business. I guess I would agree to letting them confiscate my bullets if they agreed to take the pointy end first.

 

[Scotty12]

One problem is that what was once a liberal is now a socialist or full blown communist.

Do not fine a business for hiring illegal immigrants. Put them in JAIL. A fine is just another cost of doing business. Jail time actually means something to the white collars. Can't blaming an illegal immigrant for wanting to earn a living, but I can blame someone who is breaking the Law to profit from them. If no one will hire illegals, then they stop comming. Simple as that.

Import tariffs on all imported goods. That's what they do to us. Fords are extremely expensive in Japan due to high tariffs, but Toyotas are cheap. Works for them, works for us. This will cause a ramp up of our own manufacturing, which has historically shown to be the backbone of our economy. It pulled us through WW2, and the Great Deppression.

Term limits for all politicians. No more 30 year Congressmen.

Get rid of the two party system. No more political parties.

Overhaul the welfare system. Yes, we need a welfare system for people who can not work, but not for people who don't want to work. The TVA is an excellent model. Give the people the skills they need to be productive, not just throw free money at them. As a bonus, our national infrastructure gets a much needed boost.

Scale back the Dept. Of Homeland Security. There is very little need for a domestic military force designed to be used against US citizens.

Scale back foreign aid until we can afford it. International relations are very important, but not at the expense of Americans.
