billvon 3,131 #1 December 16, 2015 I have previously posted comments on US energy policy; ways to transition to a lower-carbon, lower-pollution energy infrastructure. But after watching the leading GOP candidate I realized that such plans are too complicated. Simple is best. So with that I present a simpler plan for America that should make everyone happy: ==================== Energy. We have plenty of coal and uranium to power our country for centuries. So we're going to build a lot of them. And they will be the cleanest power plants in the world. We will build the nuclear reactors so they don't ever have problems, and we will ship our nuclear waste to France. They want us to reduce our carbon, they can deal with the waste. Our coal plants will be completely clean and emit nothing but water. They will be expensive, but I am going to get the people in Kyoto to pay for it. They want us to follow their protocol, then it's on their dime. That's fair. And we'll have laws that say coal companies can't destroy communities and nature, but still let them mine all the coal they want. Welfare. I am going to give welfare to everyone in the US who wants it - but they are going to work for it. With all those people wanting welfare, we'll get our bridges and roads fixed in no time. Problem solved. If they are too lazy to work, well, too bad. They can get money from all their friends who have a lot more money from working on the bridges. Of course, there will be exceptions; people who REALLY need money like veterans and hardworking families who lost jobs. We'll take care of them, but almost everyone else is going to work. Foreign policy. I'm going to go to all those foreign countries out there and make it clear we won't take any more shit from them. Period! Any shit they give us, we give it right back, ten times worse. They won't fuck with us any more, let me tell you. Abortion. I love the ladies, I really do. Love them. But they can't just get an abortion any time they feel like it. It's not right. Once I am president, I am going to pass laws that stop women from getting frivolous abortions. Sure, if they really need em, it's a matter of life or death or something, then you can make an exception. But no more of those Planned Parenthood kind of things. Immigration. I plan to let people in who want to work and who won't going to take jobs from US workers. But they're not going to be like us; they'll be watched very carefully so they don't kill or rape citizens who just want to be safe. And if they do their jobs really well, sure, someday they can be citizens, if they prove they can integrate into our culture and not bring in all their bullshit Sharia Law and clothing. That wall thing. I'm not going to build a wall. I am going to use drones to secure the border 100%. That's 100%. No one gets in without us knowing about it, period! And those drones will be armed so that foreign criminals don't get to try again. Our military. Our military is the best military in the world, and our soldiers are true heroes. I am going to treat them like the heroes they are. I'm going to spend all the money we need to keep our military strong, but cut military spending overall by 50%. I'm not going to cut important things, just those $3000 toilet seats. I'm going to cut the waste and keep what's important. Gay rights. Hey, I have no problem with gay people. I have gay friends. Just friends, OK? But I am going to pass laws that keep them from rubbing our faces in it. Sure, you can do whatever you want in the privacy of your home. But don't shove it down our throats, and don't try to threaten our sacred institutions. Taxes. Taxes are way too high and they are killing American businesses. I'm going to cut everyone's taxes by at least 50%. I'll eliminate welfare and replace it with work, so we won't need to spend money on it. Then the economy will recover and everyone will be making so much money that we'll be able to pay the debt off within ten years. Obamacare. It's an abomination and I am going to get rid of it. I'm going to work with doctors and insurance companies to get something much better and cheaper, where everyone can choose whatever plan they want, and insurance companies won't be allowed to get greedy or cut people off just because they're sick. It's going to be efficient, not some huge government boondoggle with thousands of pages of laws. It will all fit on ten pages, I promise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #2 December 16, 2015 Advice - It's really just a good idea to skip the 4 candidates that get to do the pre-debate debate it messes with you I watched 4 minutes of it and all four were arguing over which one cared the least about personal rights in the pursuit of protecting the public from big bad guns....(sorry, I meant terrorists - the dialogue and speeches and fearmongering are so identical it's hard to tell the difference at times). I have no idea why they have the group of 4 - frankly, the group of 10 should already be reduced to just a handful by now anyway... I only saw the last few minutes of the group of 10, apparently by then they were playing well together and I missed the fireworks - can't comment Attached - Here's our voting booth Next Nov - Vote for Free: (either Hillary or Bernie, vs Donald or the other guy) Or, take the 3rd option for 25 cents. ---------------- I suspect we'll make a big dent in the debt. ...
