Just how badly the country is currently being run, can be seen from the sheer number of easy improvements that could be done

The following is just a start, there are many more things that could easily be done.

Cut $1.3tn of annual Corporate Welfare 
Cut $700bn of annual military spending (from the current $1.2tn) 
Stop subsidizing the big banks to the tune of $1tn a year 

Stop the Federal Reserve from printing $1tn a year which just helps the rich and the speculators. 
It is actually making the real economy worse and increasing unemployment, income inequality and poverty. 

Stop taxing the poor. 
Raise the income tax thresh hold to $45,000. 
Reverse the payroll tax hike. 

Help small and medium sized businesses instead of hindering them to the benefit of the large Corporations.
Start cutting the number of government regulations instead of adding to them at the rate of 40,000 a year.
Cut Corporation Tax to 25% and close all the loopholes and tax breaks given to the large crony Corporations.
Make the first $100,000 of profits tax free.

The above two measures will get bottom up spending and recruitment going again.
Small and medium sized business are the true job and wealth creators in America.
Not large Corporations.

Clean up Wall Street.
Jail Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon for 30 years for fraud. 
Jail Tim Geithner and Hank Paulson too. 
Threaten the rest with the same.

Jail James Clapper and Keith Alexander for perjury. 

Stop the NSA Mass Surveillance which has foiled zero terr or plots in 12 years. 

Break up the Corporate cartels that now operate in each major industry. 
Start with the banks. 
Give the big banks 6 months notice and then take their banking licenses away. 
They are criminal enterprises and therefore unfit institutions to hold a banking license. 

Then move onto other crony Corporate cartels - big oil, big pharma, big food, Monsanto, arms companies etc.

Kick the cronies out of the government. 
Ex-staffers of the big banks, big oil, Monsanto, drugs companies, arms companies etc. 

Stop TPP & Tafta which are Corporatist deals, subjugating National Sovereignty and the people.

Complete reform college education. 
About 3 times as many people now enter college as get a college degree paying job. 
It loads young people down with $10,000's of debt.
It also increases the price of a college education for those that do benefit. 

Completely reform the education system, which is a disaster.
Lots more money have been pumped into it, but standards have actually gone down. 
The style of teaching needs to be changed. 

America now ranks in the bottom 3 for social mobility for developed countries. 

End the Federal Reserve system. 
The Federal Reserve is a private company mostly owned by the Rothschild family and the big banks. 
As with any private company it's activities are designed to help it's major shareholders not Americans in general. 

Stop Janet Yellen's appointment and appoint someone who intends to wind up the Federal Reserve. 
Yellen is just going to continue Bernanke's policy of massive printing which is going to cause a financial disaster 20 times bigger than the one in 2008. 

Halve the costs of Healthcare so it is more in line with the costs in other countries. 
A lot of the extra costs are due to protectionist policies by the government on behalf of the large drugs companies. 

Stop the militarization of the Police. 
160 18-tonne armored (ex-army) trucks have now been given to civilian police forces. 
Another 750 have been requested. 
This is on top of a large range of other military equipment which have been give to civilian authorities.
The DHS now has 3,000 armored vehicles. 

Stop the ever increasing abuses and harassment of the public by the Police and the TSA. 

Repeal :- 
The Patriot Act - which is a domestic control measure not counter terror 
Scrap indefinite detention without trial 
Reinstate Posse Comitatus 

Repeal the regulation that now allows the President to unilaterally declare Martial Law (even if the civil authorities object - the Mayor or the Governor). 

Scrap the law which prevents a protest near a Secret Service agent . 
This is designed to suppress legitimate and democratic anti government protests, not protect people. 

Other suggestions welcome - I have more than a few more myself.
