(A.) Getting rid of our present income tax system and replacing it with the national sales tax system. Basically, this means you keep everything you earn and pay a tax on everything you buy. This would unleash small businesses to create jobs at an unprecedented rate, you would no longer file income taxes every year, it would have the effect of reforming elections and lobbyists' undue influence on elections because most of what they are lobbying for are tax breaks for special interests, and would increase revenue to the government dramatically as the economy grew.
What about corporations? We're going to continue to carry them? THAT's where lobbyists focus - they just got a huge tax break.
(B.) Passing an energy bill emphasizing alternative forms of energy like nuclear, building additional refineries and drilling in Alaska ( did you know only an area the size of a major aiprort would be needed and it would NOT hurt the environment).
As if the environment was a concern of this administration. 
We withdrew from global warming summits, "it would cost jobs" .
(C.) Allowing you young'uns to save for your own retirement by putting part of your social security into your own accounts.
Yeah, why use money to pay out to those old retirees? Let's face it - Social Security is the world's biggest chain letter. Stop signing people up, and it collapses.

By the way, I figured out how the deficit will be taken care of - inflation will kick in in a few more years and a trillion dollars won't seem like much. The dollar is already falling and gold demand is up.
The only president in my life that lives his life the way I hope religions teach is Jimmy Carter. I regret I didn't vote for him.

Carter was the worst pres ever!
