if I'm the President, I will first find the solution in poverty.. i will help the poor children to go school, i will help the jobless to find job that fit to their qualifications :D Actually I have many plans, because I witness the poverty, lack of job and out of school youth. :) I would like to help others through public service :) but for now, I will just pray for them :)

There are a lot things to consider when you are in such power... we ca easily say we need to work on this, we will eliminate joblessness, and work on the poverty, give homes.. but most who promised barely did anything. I think the most definite way is to have your plan lay out perfectly and put on how you would be able to come to the solution of it. First, i think it would be to make sure that the armed forces of the country is strenghtened/ make sure to give them a comfortable living already that these people will not be corrupted and will result to extortions. If you make them happy, they will be loyal to you and thus, serve you and the country well. Next would be to remove the pork barrel - i think this is the main reason why the politicians run for national posts like senate, congress - if they do not have the expected money - im sure who would want to "serve" the poor?! haha Another in mind is to have a lifestyle check on all the government employees! Whether hired or elected. This is to make sure that the balance is kept within my governance. Whoever affords a mansion should be able to explain well where that wealth is coming from - if the sources can't be proved, then it shall be confiscated by the government and auctioned out. this will make sure the government and the country will keep its income steady - WE can get income from these sources and not only from the people who works their butt off everyday and before they can even contest viola! tax is already deducted from their salaries!!!

if i was to ever become president the first thing that i would do is cut congress and senate's pay and they i would start cutting there buget and lay some of them off like they do us the second thing i would do is start right here in the state and take care of our homeless and our hungery and all the money we send over seas would stay right here in the state's there would be no receving thing that where not made here in the states they would not be sold here and that will create jobs and a lot of talented people out there have some good idea and we need to listen to what they say as far as health care i just want to know who made our president god because what has done to our seniors is un fair and where did he come up with the age because that is how old his mother was when she was called home he don't have to worry about it because he is taken care of the rest of his life.

If I were the President, I do want to resolve the expenditures of the country. I think when the money was still good, companies had the chance to double their prices for the raw products they have used even if the prices were just the same. This is all about the profits. I think we can go back to the 'old' prices... and I believe these companies will not lose a lot as they have gained it already. The next will be the housing project for people and their livelihood. As a President, we need to encourage people to work hard for their money - it will not come to them in a silver platter. They have to understand that. I guess with these platforms, the world will be a better place to live in.

I think that all of those are great ideas. I guess jobs would be one of my major issues. I cannot imagine how hard it would be to be President. You would have all of these great ideas but getting them accomplished is another thing.

If im the President of our country i will take aggressive measures to try and change the way society thinks about poverty.I want them to know that poverty is not solved with just one person alone. It takes an effort both with the government and the people themselves. Government can just provide opportunities but still the people will be the ones changing their lives.I dont like spoon feeding when it comes to helping the poor, you have to teach them how to be responsible for their own lives, im going to try my best to be a role model for everyone.If i need to be a tough president then so be it. Being a popular president is not what a poor country needs, it needs a president whose willing to gamble his popularity and his pride just to knock the senses of its citizens that what we really need is total cooperation and love for the country in order to slowly bounce back and fight poverty.Theres no such thing as an instant success.

Good Morning hartnina and welcome to Mylot . Now i will try to answer your discussion as coerent as i may...but first of all i cann say that if i ware the president of Belgium or Roumania , the first thing i'll do in order to restore order and a state of good life for my citizen , i will have to unveal all the corupted scums that are in the legal sistem and only then i could start towards rebuilduing a society that embrace honesty and hard work , and hard work only shall get to have a decent life , i would try to create a society thats is based on working and seriosity while working. I might sound a bit stressed about the working types , but in Belgium ther are alot of people who get a verry decent sume of money ( 725 euros to be precised , every month ) for doing nothing , they get this money as a help from the state , but the state pays that money from the WORKING SOCIETY , so in belgium there are manny people who rather not work neither search for work hence the state already takes care of them from the WORKING SOCIETY pockets , who are taxed THREE QUARTERS ( thats 75 % ) of he's salary , so i make 1100 € / month i get cash in hand , but if ware to not pay for the Non Working society and other taxes that that goes to unnemployement and CPAS ( anothe state goverment that pays for the people under 30 years who dont work , attention this is not the unnemployment ) . So to keep it more simple if i simply not payed from my own pocket 725 € for the Unnemployers and another 380 € for the CPAS users , my life would of defently been decent . I will try to find fair solutions for people who are in need .
