Yeah, Right, Whatever

Neal Boortz asked an interesting question of one of his callers this morning.

If you were benevolent dictator of the US for one minute, and anything you ordered in that one minute would not be repealed when the minute was up, what would you do?

Hmm... what would I do? Let's see... build a fence along our southern border, and maybe along the northern. Order immediate construction of enough nuclear power plants to produce at least 75% of our electricity needs. Tell the EPA that we only need 4 fuel blends. Give tax breaks to oil companies to build more refineries. Defund the Arts. Institute a 17% flat tax. Mandate school vouchers. Give the military the authority to kick butt (don't bother taking names- I don't care what the jihadis are called) in Iraq and Afghanistan and everywhere else terrorists are hanging out. Pull foreign aid from everyone, and hand it out, sparingly, to countries who have consistently shown their friendship and loyalty to us (that would be... Australia... Israel... England... that's about it)- if anyone else wants our money, they'll need to earn it.

There. I should even have time left over.

What would you do?
