A. National Defense
1. Know what the Triad is.
2. Read intelligence briefings instead if watching Fox News.
3. Restaff the State Department
4. Recommit to NATO
5. End the Trade Wars that are killing the American Farmer
6. Active measures to punish election meddling.
7. End wars of choice.
8. Maintain national funding for deployed warriors and sailors; strategic forces and nuclear power.
9. Fund NASA with the DoD Budget rather than independent agencies to put aerospace research and launch activities in one pot. Go to Mars to develop closed loop environmental systems we can all use. Build a real Space Station.
B. Regional Government
1. Create 7 Regions of equal electoral electoral vote strength.
2. Have each region form an electoral vote compact to give all of their votes to whomever wins the popular vote in that region.
3. Appoint Regional Vice Presidents based on how the region votes. Congress creates a national caucus with one House member and Senator per region.
4. Submit regional budgets for domestic military and civil spending to fund regional armies and air wings, agriculture, transportation, law enforcement, clean water and and hydro-electric power and other discretionary functions.
5. Submit a constitutional amendment for regional excise taxes to discourage wasteful spending. States collect these taxes.
6. Require regional balanced budgets and enforce with automatic tax increases and spending cuts.
7. Create separate legal and
regulatory codes for each region with regional caucus review of regulation.
C. Civil Rights and Justice
1. Pardon non-violent drug offenders
2. End the war on cannabis. Let science speak.
3. Add teeth to labor and civil rights law.
4. Pass ENDA.
5. Consolidate enforcement of civil rights, public integrity and labor law into one Department. Move most other functions to regions.
6. Reorganize Circuit Courts along regional lines with two circuits per region.
7. Tell the truth about repealing Roe v. Wade and enact national law on late term abortion.
D. Science
1. Develop self-driving electric cars in controlled lanes with overhead power distribution and proves (Sorry kids, no more snow days).
2. Help developing world clean their air and water as the top environmental priority. Quit sending them our garbage.
3. Fully fund fusion and develop plans so that conversion does not cost good jobs in energy.
4. Equitable distribution of federal lands. Get government out of the land business. Return lands to First Nations so that they can sell grazing rights to ranchers.
5. Link drug regulation and research to license fees. Take over ownership of orphan drugs and contract research and manufacture to lower prices with fair profits.
6. Keep NPS, PTO, NIST, NOAA, NTSB, NIH, CDC and FDA. Limit GMO patents to 2 seasons.
7. Abolish the Departments of Commerce, Interior, Energy, HHS, HUD, Transportation and the EPA.
E. Treasury and Commerce
1. End the myth of per capita debt and allow wealthy to prepay income surtaxes to pay down the debt. End the death tax for real this time.
2. Create optional personal requirement accounts holding insured voting and preferred shares in the employer, not Wall Street.
3. Enact a single business income tax for all firms. Use it to fund retirement savings health care, child credits, education from daycare to grad school and adult education (with pay) with offsets so that companies who use them pay no tax. States collect and refund any taxes.
4. End the need to incur heavy debt and parental support for higher education. Forgive capitalized interest on student loans and give America a refund. Make community college part of high school. Forgive those debts too. Abolish the Department of Education.
5. End special interest tax breaks, including for Wall Street. End tax cheating through fair reforms, including an asset fair tax rather than capital gains taxes. Cheating is not a Republican value.
6. Set the child tax credit high enough to end the need for abortion services. Tie tax credits to regional cost of living. Adjust quarterly. End welfare.
7. Put economic research in one place (Census, Economic Analysis, Labor Statistics, etc.).
8. Look at ways to save American jobs through currency reforms, including a standard market basket of goods or precious metals. Adjust quarterly.
And the best for last:
9. End the income tax for most families and sunset the rest once the debt is paid down. No wealth tax aka post facto income tax. During the transition, increase net pay to cover regional taxes and make net and gross pay the same.
Make the GOP tent big again!
