President Mitch Daniels. Whew, that's a good one!
As head of Office of Management and Budget during the Bush Administration, Mr. Daniels displayed his acute sense of fiscal responsibility. During his 29 months at this job he took a $236 billion surplus and parlayed that into a $400 billion deficit.
Governor Daniels has a budget surplus in Indiana because he raised the sales tax and sold the toll road (or leased) if you prefer. Imagine the assets he could sell as president. The Statue of Liberty, Mt. Rushmore, the Smithsonian and the many national parks could all have "for sale" signs slapped on them. From there he could go on to our interstate roads and bridges.
President Daniels could initiate a national sales tax, creating an even larger redistribution of wealth. The increase in the Indiana sales tax put an additional tax burden on poor parents trying to provide for their children, while giving someone owning a $2 million lakefront property a hefty property tax break.
President Daniels could then split the country into approximately 12 different time zones. He could put in place a 12-hour time differential to try and confound those damn east coast/west coast "libruls."
President Daniel's next act should then be to privatize our entitlement programs much as he did our state's welfare program. This would include Social Security and Medicare. (Just to refresh your memory, the privatization contract with IBM had to be cancelled because of lost paperwork, delays and lack of communication resulting in much hardship for Indiana residents least able to afford it.)
After all these changes have been implemented, President Daniels could turn his focus on cost-cutting to prison reform. He could appoint Wannabee Huckabee to head the Bureau of Prison Affairs.
