Some Questions for all (Concerning Kerry as President)

[The Straight Story]

Kerry wins, and takes the helm. 2005 is here, things start rolling.

Here are but a few of the issues which his administration will face and some notes/questions on them. Put yourself in the Kerry administration, how would you proceed, how would you solve problems, etc. (and feel free to add more areas and topics in those areas).

1. Iraq - stay, pull out, send in more troops, etc

2. Economy - tax cuts, increases, immigration, exporting jobs, nafta, et al.

3. Indian Affairs (what are the issues, ideas on how to solve/progress?)

4. Homelessness (even though we had more jobs under clinton, we also had more homeless people - homelessness is bigger than employment oppurtunities)

5. Health care (do we up taxes to cover all, tax breaks, how much will it cost people, and so forth)

6. Terrorism (Keep the patriot act, modify it, and a plethora of issues surrounding this)

7. Environment (add more protected land, decrease coal plants, new legislation on car emmisions, nuclear power, and so forth)

8. Space (mars, moon, shuttle, etc what direction do you want to head)

9. Africa (what policy changes should we make)

10. Aids, cancer, et al (more funding, more education, any specifics?)

11. Smoking (outlaw it, restrict it more, only allow it when and where government thinks is best, etc)

and I am sure there are many, many more. How much can he do in 4 years, how much do you expect/demand in that time frame, and where do you expect to see the US in 4 years under Kerry?

Once he is in we will need to regroup and focus our efforts on causes, other elections, and so forth. Maybe now, or soon, would be a good time to get a reading on these and many other issues,

1. He will need the support of Congress. Need to work on these

upcoming races starting November 3!

2. the day after the election....

Greenspan will announce that the US is facing bankrupcy due enormous deficits and debt. Kerry will be facing the same budget crisis Clinton did the day he took office, with one major difference, the giant black hole in Iraq sucking up US tax dollars for as far as the eye can see.

One again a Democrat will have to clean up a Republican mess.

3. Hell, I'm concerned about just getting him to January.

4. I hate to break it to you, SS ... Come Nov. 3rd, I'm gone.

And I'll guarantee, I'm far from alone.

Kerry/Edwards gets no honeymoon. I expect to see them gone in '08.

5. First thing he should do is arrest the neocons for treason, ship

them off to Gitmo and allow no lawyers. Next he should freeze all their assets and the RNC assets and hold them until after the trials. Then start some commisions: a real 9-11, Iraqgate, Haiti gate, Venezula gate, taking money from Afghanistan to fund Iraq invasion gate, etc, etc ,etc.

He will be inherating a disaster. These repubs should be so embarassed with the greed and treason that they've done, there will be no repubs running in 08.
