Things that should be done
In no particular order, here are some things which are not always popular but should be done.
• Pass an Amendment to the Constitution, that gives the President a line item veto of any spending measure. Who in the world could be against this? The really big government people I guess.
• Start a two pronged attack on our dependence on foreign oil. Allow drilling on the moonscape in northern Alaska, and begin a wartime shift from oil to hydrogen. See phoenixproject.net
• Pass a Guest Worker program which does not reward illegal aliens.
• Get an exit strategy. Not for Iraq or Afghanistan, we have plans there but for Germany, Japan, Korea, the Balkans and any other place we have no national interest in being there.
• Follow through with a plan to get men to Mars.
• Use the buying power of Medicare Care to get competitive bids on prescription prices.
* Use Shot Spot for professional tennis matches

Thoughts on Immigration Policy Changes
Recently President Bush’s concept to set up a Guest Worker Program has come under intense fire from his own supporters. The concept in greeted as just another amnesty for illegal immigrants although the plan does not automatically grant citizenship to guest workers. The cry is that criminal trespassers are being given a reward which will just lead to an increased avalanche of Mexicans paddling across the border. But we do need the workers and we do need to control the flow of non-citizens in and out of this country. How about this? Have the plan only for new people from Mexico or other countries, signing up as the plan envisions, being vetted with cooperation of the Mexican government to disallow criminals and the like. The current many millions of illegals would have to return to Mexico before being allowed to enter the program. They would be given a period to return to Mexico. If they are caught after this deadline they would be forever disallowed from being in the Guest Worker Program. To make any of this work a there needs to be a Federal Law that all law enforcement officers in the United States must turn over any and all illegals to the Homeland Security Department and to have deportation swift and sure.
