If you were the president...

We've spent several weeks talking about our government and the responsibilities of our nation's leaders. Think about what you've learned and respond to this post:

If you were the new president, what would you do first to help the citizens or country?

Be sure to include details explaining how you would accomplish your goals, and tell why you think this goal would be important for our country.

If I were President, I would help our citizens by lowering food prices.

I would not allow food makers to charge more money for food that is popular.

This would help people by saving money for more important things and they would still get the best food.

If I were president,I would lower taxes but first,the supreme court would have to approve it to make it a law.
If the supreme court makes the law,I would also include that you can not raise taxes unless you are running out of the thing you are selling.The reason I would lower taxes is that taxes are taking away money from the U.S families.

If I were the president, I would help our economy for the whole U.S.A. and it's citizens.

For example, I wouldn't spend as much money as the U.S. government is right now.

That would mean the banks wouldn't have to print as much money and waste as much paper.

First, I would have to get the Congress to vote for it to be a law.

Next, the supreme court would have to declare that Constitutional.

If those things happen, I could do that. If they didn't, oh well.

That is what I would do if I were the president.

If I was President,I would lower gas prices becase every one is complaining about gas prices. So I will lower gas prices to $1.10. So no one would ride a bike or walk. If some one wanted to raise the gas prices I would say no. The food at the gas station would be lowered too. That is what I would do as President.

If I were the president, I would make a law that would be if someone was sick and did not have enough mony to pay for there treatment they did not have to pay for it. It is important because if we did not give them the treatment they might die. But befor that can be a law it has to be desided by the Judishal branch.
