  What Would You Do As President?
A bunch of people responded to the question What would you do as president of the United States of America?

I compiled a list of some of the interesting responses here (I'll be talking about a few of these in detail in a future post). I don't necessarily agree with all of these, but they are interesting to think about -- even if many are not feasible.

Why would you make all able bodied 18 - 35 year old peeps take bootcamp? A complete waste of gov't money and our time. There's absolutely no reason to take people away from their school, jobs, family or fun just so they can go to bootcamp and later not use them for military purposes. If you want bootcamp sign up for the military, otherwise I would prefer to not be called a maggot and now give me 50. Whoever thought of this idea is stupid. The shouldn't be able to "make me" do anything.
 
Good thing you don't live in Israel. EVERY citizen must do more than go to boot camp -- they have to serve in the military (male and female are both required)
 
Kelmo, you've reminded me of JFK: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".

I agree that the government shouldn't be able to make you do anything, but that SHOULD come at a cost. The cost of having the government stay out of your live is the have the GOVERNMENT STAY OUT OF YOUR LIFE! That means no welfare, no medicare/aid, no social security, no bailing out college students or home-owners with special tax rebates and loans.

Government is a complex mathematical function that needs mandatory service or increased taxes to provide it's services back to the people. You can trade mandatory military service for an extra $1000 of taxes.
