Common ground is so easy to find

Ok, Dave. You are in charge. How would you fix it in 6 months?

Yep, and that's the key---If they wanted to.

However, now more than ever, I suspect there is more money in simply running.
You don't even have to intend to win anymore. Just collect the spoils of being a candidate for a few months, then drop out. You've made millions. Sickening.

Step one would be to ride ourselves of the current government. You would need a revolution and the emergence of a benevolent dictator to lay the groundwork.

Do I have dictator like control?

I'd do this:

Job bank providing unlimited 8-9.00/hr jobs for anyone who wants to work.

Indefinite FICA moratorium

Totally revamped health care system providing anyone over 18 with 5k per year to spend on medical expenses. The unused balance is given to people to use how they wish. Anything above 5k is handled by Medicare/Medicaid. Kids under 18 are covered by Medicare/Medicaid.

Take the burden of healthcare of of businesses.

Id run a large ad campaign to educate the public on our monetary system.

Make states play on a level playing field to encourage companies to establish roots in the community to curtail our countries race to the bottom.

More to come...

Isn't that what the U.S. Mint is for?

Hey, do we get to kill the dictator if we don't like him?

You could try, but he'd be a puppet, installed by China. They'd just keep replacing him.
