What if one morning the American people woke up to the news that the president, the vice president and everyone at the front of the line to become president were missing?
They were simply gone. The Secretary of Agriculture's post had recently been filled by a young, largely unknown woman from Kansas. She was, by law, our new president. Being new and far enough down in the order of presidential succession, she was not under the thumb of any special interest groups nor was anyone controlling her through blackmail. She immediately starts the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan and Iraq. She moves to end the war on drugs and legalize all drugs for adults in a system much like alcohol, controlling regulating and taxing them. She sends troops to the U.S.- Mexican border and actually closes it down to illegal immigration. Plans for censorship of talk radio and the internet are immediately ended. She lets law enforcement know that police brutality including unnecessary taser use will no longer be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Unemployment rates drop dramatically after the legalization of drugs and tax collections rise to an all time high. The military is used for defense purposes only and with the U.S. no longer occupying much of the world, instead of borrowing money from China to finance these activities, the U.S. begins paying back its lenders. The dollar stops losing value and makes gains getting close to the value that it once had. The Patriot act is trashed and the people of America once again have full constitutional rights. 9/11 is finally investigated properly and it is proven that certain elements of the government were involved. Dick Cheney and George Bush are cellmates in an exclusive federal prison. (I can dream can't I?)
