10 things I would do if I were in charge around here.

Obama winning the presidency got me thinking. What do I want to see him do? What would I do? Here is my top 10, in no particular order:
1. Health care for all. Single payer
2. Stop the war on drugs, legalize nearly everything. This will stop the imprisonment of our citizens, and take the money out of drug dealing. Regulate the crap out of the manufacture of pseudoephedrine at the pharmaceutical level, so it can't enter the black market.
3. Use the money saved to educate our children.
4. Seriously reduce our military presence around the world. We do not need 14 military bases on Okinawa, 18 in Germany or most of the other ones out there.
5. Use that money to properly care for our veterans, and outfit a properly sized peace-time military. The military industrial complex would be seriously impacted by this smaller, appropriately sized and outfitted military.
6. Being gay is not a limiting factor in any way. Anyone can marry, serve in the military , be a spy or a kindergarten teacher.
7. Give everyone a solar panel and wind turbine, increase funding for alternative fuels.
8. Instead of welfare, give people housing, food and clothing but give them jobs to work for money.
9. Pay enough so most families only need one wage earner, so one person can stay home and raise their kids.
10. Make it very attractive to live in cities, to stop sprawl, protect our farmland.
