Say you had supreme dictatorial powers over everything in the US government, what would you do to make the place better?

Only limitations are what's outlined in the US Constitution, no killing American citizens, no making people slaves, etc.

Be as specific as possible!

I'm trying to reconcile the Constitution with absolute monarchy, and failing.

But as I'm Supreme Maraschino, "l'étât, c'est pas vous, pobrecito" and not some scrap of parchment. mwahahaHAAhahaHAAAAAhaha<cough>
<wheeeeez>




Job 1, obviously, is "Camp Goliath". cn

That would pretty much do it
Follow the constitution and eliminate slavery
I would also follow the bill of rights
To bad our leaders wont follow these steps.

Second thing I would do is end the drug war and do something about 95% conviction rate. I would make sure people actually get a trial before their peers. Everyone released would actually go to a fair trial.

Isn't that one of the "unalienable" rights, bestowed upon us by our creator?
Pursuit of happiness?
Or Liberty?
I figure that should be covered.

I have a long list but don't have time to get into all of it. I'll get the conversation started though, should be interesting.

My first priority is to enact legislation that makes it impossible to jail someone without a victim. Now that I have all this room in prisons we'll consolidate. We'll convert half of the prisons into our public housing where meals, clothing, and education will be provided directly. Our "used to be prisons" will also provide transportation and have an open door policy. But to live there you must either cook, clean, garden or take care of the animals (food) if you are over 18 and able. There will also be counseling available (hopefully from former residents we've trained) as well as skill shops where you can learn welding, auto repair, nursing etc. These places will also have their own health clinics available to residents. This place will not be luxurious and personal possessions will not be allowed on premises. Bikes and toys will be community property. Habitual rule breakers will be transferred to minimum security type not quite prisons with more stringent rules with nasty work-release programs.

I've been having fun dreaming up utterly arbitrary uses of my now-limitless power. Such as mumbling darkly to myself (after deprave's post) that the INSULT of the 5% who got away will no longer be tolerated. ~evil grin~

But once the giggles have been absorbed into the acoustic dustbunnies, I'd have to turn my focus from my gadolinium-flashed magical tower upon the direction forward. One thing that would get extreme priority in my rule ("administration" would no longer apply) would be energy (fusion) and spaceflight (if nothing better comes up, Orion and damn the fallout). We MUST get our eggs out of this one fragile basket. cn

1. end the war on drugs and outlaw waging war against abstract ideas
2. release all non-violent drug offenders from prison
3. legalize all drugs in the USA for individual use. I would keep drugs illegal to minors, I would regulate drugs to ensure what you purchase is actually what you want, and I would use the taxes collected on the sale of these drugs to go towards institutions working towards helping people with addictions and recovery
4. work on a comprehensive solution tot he obesity epidemic and strongly incentivize the food industry to serve healthier meals
5. increase teachers wages, increase their training, and increase the requirements to become a teacher, ensuring we get highly paid, highly skilled individuals teaching the next generations who actually enjoy and are successful at what they're doing
6. ensure no conviction without representation, innocent until proven guilty
7. abolish capital punishment
8. release Bradley Manning and guarantee compensation for being imprisoned
9. donate every US military base outside of US territory to the country it's in and bring every soldier in them home
10. end the war in Afghanistan and bring every soldier there home
11. end No Child Left Behind, put someone competent into the position of Secretary of Education, have them come up with a plan to educate the nations youth and give them a 3 year deadline to show improving results or they're replaced, with the goal being #1 in science, math, history and english worldwide
12. hire a Secretary of Energy and have him come up with a realistic solution to abandoning our dependence on foreign and domestic oil, with the eventual goal of being completely, 100%, self sufficient by 2030, 4 years to show improving results or he's replaced
13. tax breaks to everyone across the board, igniting economic growth
14. hire a board of world renowned economists to find a realistic solution to eliminating the debt
15. Mars by 2030
16. hire a board of civil engineers to determine what needs to be fixed in American infrastructure and hire the American workers to fix it
17. hire a Secretary of Immigration and have him come up with an easier way to become an American citizen, with the goal being to quell illegal immigration into the US, results in 2 years or replaced
18. anyone caught up in corruption in my administration and found guilty will receive life imprisonment with no possibility of parole
19. abolish the federal reserve and the fiat banking system
20. universal healthcare for every American citizen
21. incentivize jobs in the medical field, education, science and technology, engineering, electricity and mechanics, and art by reducing the cost to attend higher education

26. require intelligence tests for things like driving and voting, with exceptions of course. But if you're a healthy, able bodied individual whose just too lazy to pick up a book, I will ensure you won't be driving or voting
