A few days ago I posted a Question that changed thanks to replies, this was the final edit: If you had the opportunity to be president and you could act as a king or a dictator for a day making policy what would you do? Luke Lorenz reply was vary creative and clever, This man has my Vote for president for a day, Money is an amplifier. It makes good people better and bad people worse. It is also subject to a few very basic rules. But to your question, being king for a day doesnt give you much time to weigh consequences, so I would increase support for young mothers and expecting women, institute maternity leave, severely reduce the influence of lobbies, and reduce corn and petroleum subsidies. Id lower the death tax rate, and separate the food and drug administration into a food administration and drug administration. I would allow badly run companies to go bankrupt and pardon a bunch of non violent first time small drug offenders in return for community service. Then Id prank call Putin and Merkel on a three way call and keep mine on mute. I would declare Weis fresh salsa a national treasure. I would invite you Michael, to a mural on two sides of the Washington monument. Then I would have a really good breakfast before taking my family to an undisclosed location on Air Force One and have a private concert by the best rock musicians from New Jersey before my interview on Conan. I would donate my days salary to Americas Second Harvest. Then hang up on Putin and Merkel before a good nights rest. Luke Lorenz
