besides pulling troops out of iraq? (regardless of what might happen)\n\nid pour the military budget into education.\n\naddition: and pour the education budget into the military. then id pass (or try to) sanctions that would limit the amount of military spending to a predetermined amount. and ensure that that amount cannot be changed regardless of what might happen in the future. kile robert rodrigues says: the less money you have the more careful you are about spending it.

I would bring the military home from around the world and disband it. I would keep the navy and air force at same level. The Army and the Marines I would cut drasticly and make them into a lean mean defensive machine. There would be no more policeing the world. We need to protect our own borders more then we need to change governments. Lead by example. There would be a huge savings from this and I would reinvest that money into building infrastruture right here in America. We need that. That would create jobs to take care of the loss of military jobs. \n  Next thing I would do is fix the health care system. I would take it right out of the private insurances hands and put it in as a part of government. It is in crisis right now and we only have to look as close as north of the border to find a system that works. \n   Third I would overhaul the education system. As much as any federal can do. We are pooring good money after bad into this system, Year around schools to fully utilize the resourses would be one of the suggestions I would have. Another would be to pace the learning according to each students capability, I have knowledge that most students come out of school with very few life skills. So with the knowledge that the country needs people with all sorts of working skills I would target according to skill and inteligent level.\n   Taxes, I would raise the tax on the very rich back to pre Bush era. I would take that money and reinvest in jobs which always creates more jobs.  \n    5th I would leave my options open, depends on needs the first 4 are important to the country because the economy is what fires everything else.  But I do think it would involve illegal alians, send them home.

I would do something so radical it may shock those who read it - I would actually follow the U.S. Constitution! I would veto all bills that came to my desk that would be unconstitutional if made law. I would veto all budgets that funded even ONE program not permitted by it.

I would pass a law to make me EMPEROR! Than I would destroy all religions, legalize all drugs, make everyone pay a flat-unavoidable tax, end free trade policies, leave the middle-east to their own fate, develop alternative energies -including nuclear, have a universal health-care system, set-up a minefield between the US and Mexico, make all drug manufacturers who get a subsidy from the government for researching new drugs (that would include all of them) sell those drugs at a reasonable price, and put Donald Rumsfeld in prison for his incompetence in managing the military!\n\nYeah, and then I'd sit back, drink a Heineken and admire my awesome accomplishments.

First I would take a photo of him and email it to reuters news group in Germany and the newspapers in France "Le Monde" and The German one "Die Welt" (the truth must be heard) And Then I would bring him inside and give me a cup of coffee and some food. Then once he had sobered up, i would ask him why is doing all these horrible things to iraq and Afganistan. And talk him into resigning as president and retiring for a peace-ful old life. I really don't like George W Bush, but i wouldn't hurt him, I don't want to stoop to his level.

I'd put a new president in the White House.  Preferably one with actual knowledge of what the nation and the world is going through.  And also a new Senate, a new Congress, and new Supreme Court judges.
