1) Secure the borders with more than bailing wire & duct tape + ALL illegals go home, PERIOD. If they come back they have to work while in jail doing something that pays for their incarceration plus some...and they don't personally get a dime. If they come back illegal again...sentance triples. Also, the illegals are forced to pay for their own trips home.
2) Flat tax and the end of the IRS as we know it.
3) While continuing to train Iraqi & Afghan security forces, they need to seal up their borders as well. All the while we are slowly trickling our folks home as the locals handle it. If they can't handle it, we come back in a heartbeat. All the insurgent-monkeys sneaking in from Syria & Iran are the ones causing the problems anyways. Since they are up to no good anyway, consider them enemy combatants and blow their pumpkins off once they sneak in. They are willing to go on suicide missions anyway, so chamber that round & make it count.
I'd also get with Karzai and let him know for every poppy field we spot on surveilance cameras that they don't burn, we will and charge them for each one we have to destroy. I think that US grain reserves would be more than happy to sell them corn, wheat, and other seeds for a legitimate crop they can take to market. It's a matter of heroin money going to fund terrorism.
Oh...and FAR more stringent drivers licence testing in all 50 states that would have to measure up to a national standard. How many lives are lost every year by idiots in a 2 ton vehicle that are either drunk, on the cell phone, reading a newspaper, or otherwise not paying jack for attention---and the rest of us pay higher car insurance rates because of it. If you are the CAUSE of a serious car accident more than 3 times in any 7 year time frame you lose your license PERMANTLY. Caught driving anyway? 10 Years MANDATORY.
This country is FAR too lenient with Darwin's Escapees.
