Tax imports(especially vehicles) heavily. We did it in the 1800s to save the economy and keep jobs here, whynot do it now?
Impose a heavy tax on outsourced call centers, once again, to keep jobs here.
Agreed. I'd go further and give tax breaks to companies who keep jobs in America. The higher the %, the more the tax breaks.
Give (heavy)tax breaks to small and medium sized business's who supply full health insurance. I'm talking medical, dental, hearing, vision, the works.
Nice. But there needs to be something that will bring down the overall cost of health care. What bothers me is people want cheaper health care, but still smoke, eat Mickie Dees, drink heavily and not exercise. 2/3 of Americans are overweight or obese. And people get offended at Urbern Outfitters for a T-Shirt that says, "Eat Less".

FASTSTATS - Overweight Prevalence
Yes, yes, anorexia is a serious medical problem. But 2/3 of American adults are overweight!
Cut down on spending. Why are people holding a "slow/stop" sign getting paid $40/hr? Honestly? (Just one example, there is a ton of wasteful government spending)
The issue is what else do we slash? People want all the services but don't want to pay.
Take the kids away. There are a lot of people who want kids and have to wait 1 - 2 yrs for an adoption. Bam problem solved.
Agree on the welfare cuts. Though with regards to kids, we need to fix the adoption system. It is extremely, horribly idiotically broken. Honestly, this is a very radical opinion, but I don't think having kids should be a right. If you are on welfare you should be getting injections to prevent you from having kids. I mean, come on! You need a license to drive a car! How is it a person can just pop out kids and screw over a life for the next 70 years and adversely affect the lives of everyone around them because they can't take care of that kid.
Strengthen the borders, kick out the illegals. Like it or not, illegals are ruining our economy.
Agreed. I see nothing wrong with making our border along Mexico like the borders along other nations. While I don't 100% support the Arizona immigration laws, I think the Mexican President is an idiot to criticize us for it. If I could, I would tell him to fix his own country so that his citizens don't go running into ours for us to take care of.
Put up fast charging EV stations in every gas station. Make it a requirement. Oil companies have raped us over the last decade or so, reaping in record Profits, while all our costs go up.
Good idea initially, but if you dig deeper EV don't solve the problem. Instead of burning oil, we burn coal to generate electricity. And in many ways, coal is worst than oil. We are trading one beast for another...until we really find alternative energy i.e solar, wind etc...this problem is not going away.
If I were president, I know I would have things changed for the better.
Nice sentiment. Not to dissuade you from thinking positively but you alone being President in what has become a very cumbersome and bogged down political system in America won't do much. Our problems can't only be fixed from the top down. Our politicians and leaders alone can't pass laws to remedy anything. The problem needs to be resolved by everyday citizens as well. We the people need to make the tough choices as well. Choose to stop smoking. Eat healthy. Try and buy American made products...(if possible and if they don't break down in a year). etc...
