  Why not put all prisoners to work for at least 8 hours a day 5 days a week. maybe when they get out they will not want to come back. Maybe just maybe they will learn a skill and a work ethic so they will become a useful part of society. They could for example paint toys for mattel with a non lead based paint. right now they are a big burden on society.

  keep all the dealerships open that want to stay open...their decision or the economys but let them decide.

  do away with the union... offer assembly job jobs starting $25 an hour with full healthcare benefits and two weeks paid vacation plus national holidays off...to all employees of the company willing to come back and WORK. After all are asked...then open the doors to the public and ask some of the 6,000,000 unemployed americans if they would like the job. when all the key positions are filled... figure out a price where a profit can be made and start selling vehicles again.

  How can obama say that he will give a tax decrease for 95% of americans and then want to tax healthcare benefits at a rate of 25%. I had the choice to choose a job with health benefits pay for by my employer. So does every other american. They also have the option of buying their own healthcare insurance. Do not and I repeat do not tax my healthcare benefits.

  speculators are driving the price of oil per barrel up and giving the gas companies a reason to raise the price for no other reason than pure profit. Do away with commodity trading of oil and let supply and demand set the price.

  abolish the IRS as we know it...fire 100,000+ IRS employees and keep 10,000 to audit the states. The states audit the counties/cities. The counties/cities audit the businesses. No taxes on services. If you would like to start a company tommorrow and hire 10 people...so be it. no forms to fill out and no taxes to be witheld. You will only be taxed when you buy something NEW. The tax should be no higher than 10% for the feds. 3% for the state. and 2% for the countie/cities. Other taxes that will be acceptable are the gas tax, alcohol tax, cigarette tax, property tax, etc. But in no way shape or form should their be a income tax.

  All federally owned lands should be managed for healthy forests. In other words management plans should be written by certified foresters and implemented so that federal lands become self sufficient or actually make money by becoming a sustainable forest system.

  All bills should be placed in a pdf file and placed on the internet for all to see. Why print out a 1000 page bill? 48 hours of notice would be apreciated before the signing of bill would also help with transparency.

  so many shares of stock are traded throughout the U.S. on a daily basis.... I propose a $.01 cent per share tax on every share bought (bought only) in every market in the U.S. to be deposited in an federal account on a daily basis. Easily tracked and easy for one person to keep up with. Use this money for paying down the national debt.
