My ideas on how to fix America

1. Term limits.
2. All elected officials are subject to the same laws as the rest of the country. No more ridiculous pensions for congresscritters, they can depend on Social Security and Medicare. Bet those programs would get fixed within six months.
3. Pay congressmen and senators $1,000,000 per year. Make bribery, public malfeasance, and any other form of corruption punishable by life in prison with no chance for parole.
4. Tax money transfers from person to person out of this country at 75%.
5. Proof of citizenship or green card for health services.
   
6. Require all employed persons in this country to provide a valid SSN, tied into the E-Verify system. If a valid SSN cannot be provided within a reasonable time the individual is deported.
7. Immediately stop all foreign aid going to non-democratic countries.
8. Immediately stop all foreign aid going to countries that sponsor, support, or shield terrorists.
9. Stop being the security blanket for Europe and Canada, with the exception of England. Remove our troops stationed in those countries. It's well past time they should pay for their own national security.
10. Expand the amount of aid we give to Mexico and S America (from the savings in 7, 8, and 9 above). Help them build the infrastructure in their countries. Since they are also sitting on large amounts of oil, help them extract it and sell it to us at fixed rates. This is to our advantage because if there are jobs and money down there, there will be less of an incentive to come here.
11. This one would require changing the 26th Amendment, but would have more impact than any other idea- limit suffrage to only those that have net payments into the system. I find it morally reprehensible that someone who has never worked or always has a greater tax "refund" than the amount they paid should have the same say in how my money is spent as I do. There would be exceptions for retired and disabled people.

That's it. There are my suggestions to fixing the country.

Illegal steal identity, $500,000. And the Trib feels sorry for her.

How much better would our economy be without all of this:
All the money the gov't spends to incarcerate illegals.
All the money spent on health care for illegals.
All of the identity theft by illegals.
All the money pulled out of our economy and sent south of the border every week.

Here's an idea- since libs love taxes sooo much, let's tax money transfers to Mexico and S America at 75% and reduce the income tax rate on legal workers.

The key to winning in Afghanistan? "Moderate" taliban.

Bambi's naivety is going to wind up costing us a major city or two before he's out of office. Reaching out to supposedly 'moderate' elements of the taliban to bring peace to Afghanistan would be like reaching out to moderate elements of the SS in 1944 to bring peace.

Bambi parties while America burns

More Hopey-Changey crap.

Maybe he wouldn't have been "too tired" to properly greet the Brits if he wasn't partying almost every night. I think it's time to ask this question: "Are you better off today than seven weeks ago?"

Brits snubbed because Bambi is "too tired"

Obama "too tired" to give proper welcome

I guess when you spend your entire adult life working no more than 2 or 3 hours a day, making the switch to 14 hour days can be a real pain. I guess being President is no place for on-the-job training to learn how to lead.

Welcome!

Illinois has one governor currently on a federal "holiday". Another one on the way.

Anyone who thinks that B. Hussein Obama (known from here on out as 'Bambi') could have emerged from this sewer without any slime or stink on him needs to read this blog.

And anyone who thinks that our new "hopey changey" Appeaser-In-Chief is bad for the country should read this.

And anyone who pays taxes- this excludes the majority of Dumocrats- should read this.
