We all have said if I could run things for a day...  Well, I will put it in print.  Some of it will not be politically correct.  :)

1)  Allowing drilling of oil in ANWR 

         This is just common sense.  As an added response, I would also commit to building three new state of the art refineries

2)  Commission 5 new nuclear reactors with facilities to produce hydrogen for fuel

         Again nothing special about this, just common sense

3)  Fast track the fence on both borders.  Shot to kill orders

         Well, simply, duh

These are three big ones.  You would, "Great, how will we pay for this?"  Again, complaints without solutions are worthless.  So here are some serious solutions.

1)  Shut down the IRS.

         Let get a flat tax.  Currently the IRS employs 86,585 people.  If you average a salary of $50,000 a year, that equals 4.3 billion dollars.  The reports show that about 2.2 trillion dollars is collected each year from returns.  I flat type tax would increase the revenue and save government funds. 

2)  Shut down the Department of Education

         A disastrous organization that has done nothing to better the education of the people.  After working in the field, I can honestly say they do a great job of paying Superintendents and building obnoxious schools for millions and millions of dollars.  They spend $70 billion dollars a year and have 5000 employees.  Just Crazy.  Education is a state issue; give it back to the state. 

3)  Shut down the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development

         Good idea but needs to go now.  28.5 billion dollars and 10,000 employees.  I could go all day about why this should go.

4)  Shut down about half of the Department of Health and Human Services

         640 billion dollars a year.  Needless to say this is would take several hours in a day to reorg.  Some is good some not

5)  Clean up the Department of the Interior

            The Dept of Indian Affairs needs to go away along with all lease payments.  Just a waste of money

Overall that should fill up a day pretty well.  As a final act I would set term limits on congress.  12 years for senators, 8 years for representatives.  And yes, it would be retroactive.  If you have served it already, your done when you term is up.  I think that I would also be unconstitutional and not allow anyone who have served in congress to be allowed to run for President.  You did your service.  Let someone do theirs.  Oh, and finally, it will be mandatory for all males to server in the military for at least 4 years.  NO MATTER what.  If anyone can go to school in this country, there is no reason why everyone cannot serve. 

That is my day as ruler.
