Once my 10 point plan is in effect, I'd then move to end the War on Drugs immediately, replacing the drug war with a harms reduction program predicated on a public health and not a criminal perspective. This would help ease smuggling routes which also are used to traffic illicit arms. Trying to both is ridiculous--concentrate on illegal arms sales throughout the world.

What would I do? My Top Ten - 1. Whack all the lawyers! What, somebody already thought of this? Why the delay? Need for legal system reform more urgent than healthcare reform. Every individual will have medicare-like access to an attorney. Rates will be controlled by the government and there will be a small deductible. Attorneys will be paid on a scale determined by the government with hard caps on fees and awards. To avoid advantage-taking by big business - corporate officers, managers and workers will be liable for jail time in non-country club facilities. 2. Eliminate death penalty inequities. Simply pick one jail/prison each year at random and whack all inmates regardless of offense or length of sentence. This may encourage more people to behave themselves. 3. Biometric ID cards for all U.S. Citizens. Info limited to name, date and place of birth. Without this, talk about border control is just hot air. No card - no job -no credit - no drivers license - no hotel room - no nuthin. 4. Compulsory national service for two years between ages of 18 and 30. Includes military but not limited to that - could just as well be bed-pan duty in a nursing home or service as an Oval Office intern :-) Volunteering OK but NO exemptions or delay when called. Not allowed to vote or own property until satisfactory fulfillment of this obligation. 5. Withdraw from UN and foreclose on the property. 6. Destroy all TVs, VCRs and DVD players (the last two permitted in hospitals and nursing homes). People might get off the couch and get out more (even if it's to the movies). 7. Junk the tax code. Tax all individual income and business revenue at a simple rate and allow NO exemptions, credits, deductions, depreciation or other loopholes or coercion. 8. Ban instant replay from sports. There is no instant replay in life. "The moving finger writes; and having writ, moves on....." Oh, I already banned TV. Nevermind. 8. Improve the climate for learning in the classroom. Retro nuns in scary costumes packing solid maple pointers and rulers. 9. Insist that everyone call their mom and dad at least once a week. 10. Gas up Air Force One........
