Increase spending for impoverished people and nations.

decrease pork barrel spending for public works, government, and state programs.

Increase spending in education

increase spending on science and technology specifically aimed at the Aerospace industry

I'd try to create partnerships with foreign nations in joint venture projects to increase the living conditions of all peoples of the world

I would streamline the military whilst reducing the budgetary spending, but increasing the efficiency of every dollar spent to create a better military with less money....

Etc..

Increase spending for impoverished people and nations.

Their leader just put it in Swiss banks. The people never see it.

decrease pork barrel spending for public works, government, and state programs.

Only Congress controls spending. A President can't spend or decrese spending by a dime.

Increase spending in education

Was proposed to Congress and has passed and signed by the President.

increase spending on science and technology specifically aimed at the Aerospace industry

Proposed. Congress is holding it up in Commitees.

I'd try to create partnerships with foreign nations in joint venture projects to increase the living conditions of all peoples of the world

Answered above. It is not in our power to get these tin horn Dictators to feed and educate their people. They just bank the money we send them.

I would streamline the military whilst reducing the budgetary spending, but increasing the efficiency of every dollar spent to create a better military with less money....

Again answered above. Congress has a vested interest in saving Bases, spending money on unneeded equipment, and yet you blame the President. Congresses Pork = Votes.

You seem to think a President has more powers than he is afforded under the Consitution. It's clear you are truly indoctrinated and the above responses wil be laughed off as nothing more than the rantings of a Right Wing Radical. I'm an Independant who understand how the Government works. You don't like President Bush, vote him out, elect Gore, have the same situation still in place, but you can say that your man is in and everything is fine.

Did I say anywhere that these goals were realistic? No

Did I imply to you that this would occur in the US? No

Did I imply to you that I am pro-Bush? No

Did I imply to you to comment on my statements? NO

Thanks

though you do seem to know your politics and I commend you on that effort, however the question was what would you do if you were president...

Not what would you do if you were president in America, or a president that has to answer to congress etc....

I do realize this was about BUsh, but I purposely made my statements very general and indeed they may overlap with what Bush is aiming for, I do think that Bush is screwy when it comes to the environment, foreign diplomacy, SS, the surplus etc...

thanks

Did I imply to you to comment on my statements? NO

In an idealist's world, no one would need comment. In a realist's world, it simply needs stating. I too have a lot of I'd's. It's refreshing, but only for a moment. When, or if, we brirg the I'd into reality, perhaps change for the better can become reality.

Thanks

You're welcome.

Why do we even post on these threads that are started for no other reason than to cause conflict and flaming?

Does fultonhoward (a full 3 posts into his Neowinian career), really consider himself a top notch political analyst? Is he secretly some political expert working from inside the Whitehouse staffroom? Is he DNC? Some foriegn propogandist?

Who is fultonhoward, and why should we care about such a generalized, unsubstantiated post?

Just curious...

:D maybe i'm biased, but bush seems to be getting the europeans preety mad. the tarrif against european steel backfired on him and now the europeans are refusing to buy our steel! :p

man, i'm from europe, but don't think our leaders are better. as long there are leaders there will also be someone to complain about them.

(i must agree with you: the taxes on european steel were a bad move, and the europeans are angry on this)

there is so much to say about what i don't like about our leaders, but what can we do...almost nothing, we ellected them, now we must live with them. we can only change them after they will finish their government period and hope the next who will come will do better.

yeah, that steel thing was out of order. In the UK our steel industry colapsed and loads of poeple lost their jobs, same with coal, ship building, car manufacturing and so on. We didn't impose tarrifs, just to try and protect ourselves from natural economic forces.

I get the feeling that Bush doesn't really want to see the bigger picture, he's too pro American anti-everyone else. What I'd like to know is he say that any country that harbours terrorists will get turned over by the US, does that mean he'll invade the UK as we have the IRA who have been blowing people up for over 20 years now and have been funded by American money? :(

now I'm angry :disappoin

    • If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen
    • Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one.
