  1. If I was made President with full support of congress and the senate: 1) I would declare nuclear weapons a crime against humanity and dismantle all of them save maybe a 10 or so for potential asteroid or transport purposes non war purposes. 2) Begin the master work of our era to fast track LFTR fission and ultimately ITER and Wendelstein 7x fusion reactors. 3) Massive rail building throughout the US and lite rail within all cities and towns. 4) Massive new home and apartment building; 1960-1970's 30 homes per 1,000 households constructed, now only 8 homes per 1,000 households... and we wonder why homes are no longer affordable both in purchase or in rent. People with near 6 figure income living in vehicles in some cities. 5) Universal healthcare for ALL covering ALL medical including dental, vision, and the rest of the body. 6) Legalize all drugs in their use; prohibit and control the manufacturing of others, and create a rehab program sometimes mandatory rehab for those addicted beyond ability to reason similar to Portugal's method. 7) Universal education. 8) Create a Federal Co-Op Reserve Bank and co-op branches that lend to groups with verifiable and constant audit to borrow at a discount to form co-op enterprises where all workers regardless of rank get 1 vote as to all aspects of the operation of the business; similar but even more extensive than Germany's Co-determination policy where 50% of the board must be employees voted in by employees. 9) Cut the military spending by 75%. All but a handful critical bases that aren't on our territory would be closed. During non-war and non-war activities no production whatsoever in weapons maybe contracted by a private enterprise: any military weapon producer is by default a non-profit government co-ops the co-ops providing competitiveness between themselves. War racketeering vanishes. Can't exist. And we still maintain a competitive advance military for our protection. 10) Introduce a science advancement competition in all sectors that effect all our lives to develop: medicines and treatments that prevent or even cure diseases from Alzheimer's to Diabetes to HIV to all various types of cancer to repairing damaged spinal cords and other nerves. To develop better transportation methods land, sea, and air. To develop better living quarters in housing and apartment construction. 11) Once LFTR and/or ITER power methods have found viable a massive implementation project that would over power our grid (and grid would be modernized) and use the grid in such a way that fossil fuels become essentially as obsolete as candles for lighting when electricity was installed in homes. Over power grid that is carbon neutral allows electrolysis to be uses to manufacture fuels carbon neutral and even materials in a carbon neutral way at a fraction of the cost today. 12) Fund NASA to begin moon colonizing and Mars, and make viable a mining operations on asteroids. But again, actually fund NASA specifically to do these things. And there's probably more... but so far I think this would set us on an okay track.
