If you were President/Prime Minister of your country, what three things would you do first?

Asked by ucme (50047points) November 11th, 2010

Policy wise, for the good of the nation that is. Not talking about changing the decor in the white house or number 10 here. Anything that you feel is a priority, a pressing concern.

1. Pay off the national credit debt. Preventing those that take that deal from getting credit for the next 5 years.
2. Stop all immigration for the next 5 years. and close off the borders.
3. Mandatory 2 years served in the Military.

1-Ban Organized Religion
2-Bring back the death penalty and widen the scope of offenses that warrant it
3-revamp the marriage law/welfare law/driving laws

1. Recall all troops from Afghanistan immediately and end all military cooperation with the drivers of the two illegal wars of aggression. The German military must only be used for defence, not to aid the economic needs of warmongering nations. Also, abolish conscription.
2. Institute a hard limit for CEO salaries.
3. Legalise gay marriage.

I pretty much agree with @ragingloli.

Are we also asking what three things it would be possible to change policy wise, and there were no repercussions?

The problem with some of the above is that it’s really just not possible, even if you could make the change unilaterally, without there being severe and immediate fallout for it (e.g., troop withdrawal).

I would likely do three things that would be popular only with small groups, but I feel would be beneficial in the long run.

1. Enforce a death penalty for all child molestors and serial rapists. (and by child molestors, I don’t mean 18 year old boys who have sex with consenting 15 year old girls, I’m talking about strict child molestation/rape and murder)

2. Close the borders and deport all immigrants who have not filed the proper immigration paperwork

3. Force the FDA to have stricter safety standards
