Just off the top of my head, in a general sense:
1: I would first and foremost adopt an isolationist policy and recall 100% of deployed military personnel unless there was an exceptional reason to
keep some of them away from home. All foreign based torture facilities would be immediately shut down as well.
1.1: Military spending would be at least halved.
1.2: All traitors, criminals, war criminals, corrupted servants of the people, etc, would be tried for treason. Punishment would vary, along I imagine
it would get quite creative for some of the worst traitors.
2: The national debt would be reset. Yep, reset. If foreign banks do not accept the decision, the response would be "then come and try to collect...."
The federal reserve would be dissolved immediately. All banks would be nationalized and the vast majority of debts forgiven, especially all debts
associated with education or medical care. Corporations based in the US that have gone overseas reducing jobs in America yet still selling their
products here, will be majorly taxed on all revenue.
3: Multiple agencies would be severely downsized.
4: The public education system would undergo a massive overhaul.
4.1: For profit educational institutions, such as colleges and universities would be nationalized. Knowledge is NOT just for those who are rich, or
who are foolishly willing to go hundreds of thousands into debt on a gamble that theyll get a job in their chosen profession.
5: The prices of healthcare would be drastically reduced by some method, so that all would be able to benefit from the advances of technology and
technique, NOT just the rich.
6: This would probably come right after #2: With the massive freed funds from no longer existing wars of conquest and occupation of foreign lands, a
massive effort could then be supported to removed all illegal immigrants, who would be deported immediately, forcefully if necessary, from the
country. The southern boarder would fortified in some fashion.
7: A flat consumption tax would be put in the stead of the income tax for REAL people.
8: All tyrannical laws/EOs/acts would be immediately repealed, such as Patriot act, NDAA 2012, etc.
9: America is crumbling. There is enough work and jobs to be done to put millions to work for years. Repairing/rebuilding the infrastructure of
America would begin, ending the depression .
10: Finally, with everything very pressing complete or underway, I would reallocate the huge amount of surplus money from the lack of multiple ongoing
wars of conquest into research and technology. The space program would be ignited in earnest, heavy R&D into sustainable sources of energy such as
geothermal, solar, wind, and tidal, and drastically improving existing sources such as fission plants would be done, diseases and cancers that were
not in the interest of big pharma to cure would see major research and development, and cured, etc.
11: Make damned sure that America becomes once again the envy of the world and that it goes above and beyond all prior standards.
---------
No clue on the specifics of HOW all that would all be accomplished, but thats kinda what my "agenda" would look like
Not a complete list, of
course.
Id probably be shot very early on in my administration.
