What to do in the oval office?

Miscellaneous General

I have to admit that sometimes I have utopian delusions of me being the head of state and what I would do if I were in such a position. What would you do if given the power of President (leaving the obvious stuff out like abolish the Fed and drastically slash the budget)

  • Never wear a suit. Or at least make it a white linen suit. Linen is the king of fabric

  • Speak bluntly during press conferences.

  • Teach a class on American politics at some university

  • Walk without fear of assassination. Matyrdom is the new state of being

  • Publically denounce and possibly deport Jon And Kate plus 8. According to Rothbard I’m allowed one standard deviation. I call it on those hacks.

  • End the Cuba embargo and be the first man to buy legal cigars.

  • Abolish national borders

  • De-militarize

  • End nuclear arms

  • Deconstruct the White House and statues in DC. As Tom Woods puts it ‘statues are not befitting of a republic’ A very excellent point

  • Allow secession

and the usual stuff

Ahhhh… Bemusement…

  1. Open Carry a firearm everywhere I go, not because I am afraid, but because I am certain there are others that should be
  2. Only wear clothes when it is absolutely necessary
  3. Not only speak bluntly at news conferences, but make C-SPAN get a beep for when I appear in Congress
  4. Cut the FCC, to make the beep C-SPAN got a waste of money, and only after the first year, to ensure C-SPAN had bought it
  5. Build a theme park in the place of the Monuments of D.C.
  6. Explain to Congress that the profit from the theme park is all the money they get to spend, including their salaries
  7. Therefore, cut taxes, completely
  8. Ahhh… REAL cigars!!!
  9. Cut the Army and the Air Force, put all naval personnel on reserve staus
  10. Visit Ft. Knox, with an adding machine…
  11. Encourage individual disaster preparedness
  12. press for legitimized secession allowances

That is my list so far…

  • mandate single wage for all fed. gov. employees from port-o-john cleaner to prez based on the nation’s average income per capita

  • phase out all fed. gov. employee perks, benefits, and pensions

  • solicit bordering states, provinences, and colonies to join the union

Legalize all drugs, then smoke a doob for a photo op. (Seriously, America, it’s time to pull the stick out.)

I’d go the opposite tack: I’d ALWAYS wear a suit, even to do gardening (I’d just take the jacket off and loosen my tie).

I’d also always wear a hat out of doors.

The only thing I would do is “Nothing”.

Here is a great solution to all crisis we have seen since the french revolution. Send all public workers and politicians into live long vacation and pay them their salaries til the end of their days each.

If you think this is a waste of money, let me tell you that if you could have frozen the expenses for the public services 10 years ago you would almost laugh about the peanuts you would have to pay for those crocks today. The issue is not what we pay now, as we already showed we can afford it, even if we could do better without those parasites, but that we are facing a, soon to come, point in time where we can no longer pay for it, and will eventually be made their total serfs to allow them to survive a bit longer.

I’d have all sorts of fun saying politically incorrect things.

I mean, can you guys imagine the effect of saying “What do you call an Ethiopian with a pickle on his head?.. A quarter pounder” at the end of my speech saying I’ve just cut all food aid to Ethiopia.

I also second Byzantine’s suggestion. Always go for a suit. With the exception of halloween, where I’d go for the white gown and pointy hat outfit.
