As President, you would not have that authority. You would have to lobby Congress and the American populace to amend the United States Constitution.

MARK L CONTRARIAN proclaims: People who take drugs care only about their 'high' and nothing more. They don't care about their spouses, their children, their friends, they don't care enough about themselves.

SH: Is that an honest description of you when you were at the RxBash last year getting tanked on large quantities of the psychoactive drug alcohol? Or are you just once again wagging your moralistic cyber finger at "other drug users"?

For every passenger that takes a coast-to-coast trip on Amtrak WE lose money. The gov't completely funds Amtrak to the tune of billions a year. And the IRS collects the money. Amtrak loses money every year on every passenger!

And in exchange, there's another automobile taken off the road.

On an average weekday upwards of 10,000 people make the trip between Washington DC and NYC alone. That's 10,000 less automobiles on the roads between those two big cities and with it 10,000 less pollution-creators.

And check yourself with the "WE lose money". You're not losing a dime due to the operation of Amtrak within the USA and neither am I.

Perhaps you could enlighten me. What goods or services do the IRS provide that makes it profitable?

The USPS I get. The IRS, not so much.

audit revenues > agency expenses

but I might be misrepresenting something I need to check, it might be auditors pay for themselves, not necessarily the entire agency

eliminate the 2 political partys. Eliminate all tobacco. Cut all goverment salarys in half except Bible believing teachers. War on terror would be on drugs not arabs. Eliminate 98% of all welfare. Eliminate the Federal reserve. Eliminate trans fat.

drill here, drill now and build nuclear power plants in Canada

term limits

extend a term for the House from 2 to 4 years so they're not campaigning their entire life

deficit reduction measures / reduce foreign aid / cut taxes and spending

social security privatization

secure the borders

ban abortions when the baby can survive outside the womb (you have six months to make up your mind)

execute 9/11 whackos (they annoy me), or maybe send them to Club Gitmo

Hey, it's a start...

On the other side, if we add up all his promises, Obambi would add another t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-trillion dollars to the budget. :puke1:

HEY MARK, ya think McCain's plan to "balance the budget in four years" will be more successful than Ron & Nancy's pledge in 1983 to "make America drug free within five years"?

B.S.

Since when does Amtrak drop you off at your destination?

You still need a fleet of pollution spewing vehicles to get those people where they need to go.

If Amtrak was so great, it wouldn't have to be subsidized.

Just Libs trying to guilt you out of your personal freedom of driving...into their wonderful mass transit with the never ending funding for the never ending burrocrats to administer...because they know whats best for us...bullshit.

I would begin a process to make us better

Complacency is a disease. We are so entrenched in our "wants" and spoiled by our comforts, we take too many things for granted.

As President, assuming that Diogenes quest has any vain hope, even after two millenia; the agenda would be a way to find a global solution to Iraq and Darfur.

Term limits for Senate and Congress.

A citizen committee of scholars, professors, business elite and average men/ women, to make recommedations.

A committee to seek a national solution to education, kids in 1801 new more by the time they were 12 then our B of A's do now. (the knowledge has advanced, but our speed of absorption is woefully lacking).

A youthful, school program, to teach all children to be who they can be.
Where one class a week, is the pursuit of their heart and mind by "their" choice. Whether it be video games or spear fishing. Too many talents go wasted because most parents will not admit that their kids may have more on the ball than they do.

If we can vote on American Idol or which is the lucky case by cell phone, we can have a "once every month vote" on which item is most important to the American people.

Find a way to give us more than two parties, strengthen libertarian and independent.

There is TOO much Power in too few hands. That is why we are losing our American soul.

We can only be who we Try to be!

A national holiday weekend where all the highways were closed.

Get out and know your community, do something with your community day.

A Wed.

If elected president I would say what the majority want to hear, do what the majority want me to do, without regard to my own convictions. At the same time I'd quietly rape the world's resources to my own benefit, screwing millions out of large sums of money, figuring I only have to do that crappy job for a few years and then I'll be set for life.
