No candidate bashing here please. This is a hypothetical question.
If you were elected president of the U.S. tomorrow, what would be the first thing(s) you would do in office? I'd like to know what is most important to you and what would you do about it if given the choice?
My list:
1) Hire a bunch of really smart economists to make sure that the law recently passed is really going to work, then lay out a plan to restore the economy long term. Get a team working on managing the spend around the $700B bailout. This team wouldn't necessarily be elected officials, but a non-partisan group of people.
2) Go thru the budget and cut out irrelevant spending.
3) Come up with a list of simple things that the average citizen could do on their own for their country. Whether that be to volunteer their time locally, start to carpool or take public transportation, turn down their thermostats in the winter, or check the air in their times to conserve gasoline. I think most people want to help their country, and will gladly do so if given some guidance.
4) Encourage in any way possible, job growth in fields related to alternative energy sources.
5) Gather the brightest people in foreign policy to lay out a plan to restore the world's opinion of the U.S.

How I wish it wasn't such an unsurmountable problem....I spend around $50-100 a week in gas to get to/from work, volunteering, getting groceries, vet runs, etc. I suppose if I was elected president I'd work more on getting more stores into rural towns so people like me wouldn't have to drive 18 miles to get anything. Or else work on a way to somehow help people with costs of transportation....
