Romney’s honey-do list
After Romney wins the
election this November he must repair a nation left in ruins by his
predecessor. Reinvigorating a society whose structure has been destroyed from
the core outwards will be an Olympian task, but doable. Economics, energy, education,
military and sundry more institutions have suffocated under Obama’s
inordinately ignorant management style. Romney has not been the favorite of
many conservatives, most of whom are suspicious of his background and prior “accomplishments.”
Therefore he will need to imbue American society with confidence that a leader
must have to govern. The enumeration below requires immediate action to enable
America to become the superpower it once was.
1) Active military
personnel should be expanded by 40% or more with a concomitant increase in
armaments, ships, jets and other necessary accoutrements to maintain the peace
on multiple fronts. Any new weapon system or transport ability should be
evaluated stringently for cost/benefit and effectiveness.
2) Every department that
comes under the canopy of the Executive Branch should be reviewed with the intent
to reduce costs up to 20%. The most vulnerable should be defined and protected.
3) Obamacare must be
defunded and ultimately rescinded in the event the Supreme Court goes the wrong
way on this monstrous legislation.
4) Anyone or group
receiving Federal entitlements, grants, loans, subsidies and sundry other
largesse from the United States Treasury or related sources should be: a)
investigated for need of these funds and b) means tested.
5) Foreign Aid should be
limited to humanitarian purposes only.
6) NASA should be brought
into the 21st century with public/private sector partnerships making
the United States number one again in space for civilian and military
applications.
7) Federal Government
should stay out of the internal affairs of the fifty states and follow
constitutional mandate as is written in that great document.
8) United Nations should “immediately”
be kicked out of this country for reasons our entire population already knows.
9) Decriminalize all drugs
immediately. The War on Drugs is a complete failure. Stop arresting several
hundred thousand people a year for minor drug offenses.
10) For our friends south
of the border give them 30 days to stop illegal trafficking in humans and drugs
into this country or the American military will perform that function for them.
For those border hoppers already here work them into the system, there is no
rational mechanism to send them back.
11) Make it clear to all
potential terrorists and their leaders that an attack on American facilities or
our citizens anywhere in the World will be considered any act of war and we
will react accordingly.
12) No more deficit
spending.
These twelve goals are
appropriate first steps towards facilitating strong fiscal policy,
strengthening the military, securing our borders, improving our international
stance, prioritizing our resources and encouraging those with capital to invest
here. This will be the first in a series of honey-do lists because America lost
its edge over the last decade, especially in the prior 40 months. Romney should
move expeditiously in all these areas to bring the nation out of the doldrums
and make us number one once more. God bless America and anyone who helps us.
