1. Close all military bases in foreign countries and bring the military home and only use it for defense, not for being the world's police force and humanitarian force. Slash the pentagon's budget, cancel most of the contracts with defense contractors leaving only the ones necessary for a defensive force, and fire most of the personnel until we have only enough people in the military to be a defensive force for our country.
2. Rescind all treaties and trade agreements with foreign countries immediately and remove ourselves from the U.N., N.A.T.O., W.T.O., W.H.O., N.A.F.T.A., etc. Remove all of our diplomats from foreign embassies and fire them. Close all foreign embassies in our country, revoke their visas and deport them immediately. Revoke all visas for foreigners and deport them immediately. Stop issuing visas to foreigners, and impose a moratorium on all immigration for 50 years. Enforce the border, airports and seaports as necessary to impose this moratorium effectively. Use the military to defend us from foreign invasion as necessary. This will not only end the problem with illegal immigration, it will greatly reduce the likelihood of any more terrorist attacks.
3. Stop paying any interest or prinicipal on all of our debts. Stop borrowing any money to finance our federal government.
4. Cut spending as necessary to get to the point where we live within our means. Completely eliminate all entitlement and social welfare programs immediately-- Social Security (all forms of it including SSI and SSDI), Medicare, Medicaid, Nutritional Assistance (Food Stamps), Unemployment Insurance, Workers Compensation, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, WIC, Student Loans, etc., etc. The costs of education, health care, food, etc. would plumet.
5. Eliminate all federal government regulation of businesses and corporations. Close all federal departments and entities involved in such activities, such as-- E.P.A., U.S.D.A., F.D.A., Department of Education, Department of Energy, Department of Commerce, N.L.R.B., F.T.A., etc., etc.. Drilling for natural gas and oil would once again flourish in this country, and our dependence on foreign countries who hate us would be a thing of the past. Cheap energy would propel our economy forward. Businesses would finally be allowed to truly operate in free market capitalism without government interference and intrusion.
6. Outlaw all unions nationwide, both for government employees and for private businesses. Organized labor would never again be allowed to become the job killing monster it currently is. 5 and 6 together would bring back a huge amount of jobs to our country.
7. End the failed war on drugs. Legalize all drugs and tax them with the nationwide sales tax. This would save us a huge amount of money in terms of cops and prisons. It would also end the incentive for smuggling drugs across the border with Mexico.
8. Eliminate all current federal taxes-- including personal income taxes and corporate income taxes. Impose a nationwide federal sales tax on everything. No exceptions, no exemptions, no deductions, and no rebates. The more you spend, the more taxes you pay. The more you save, the less taxes you pay. Everyone will pay some taxes, even the poor people who currently pay nothing in federal income taxes. There would be no loopholes, no ways for anyone to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. Adjust the tax as necessary to pay for the federal government, so that we never go into debt again. And when possible, due to cuts in government spending, lower the tax to the lowest possible point. Finally, you could keep what you earned. Businesses would have a huge incentive to expand their operations.
