1) Participatory Budgeting where citizens vote on what percentage they want their taxes going, everyone’s submissions are averaged out, but then legislators do the same thing. Both are averaged and used as a baseline for Budgeting.

2) Merge the census with tax returns to cut costs if not by law, then by executive order

3) Review federal acquisition procedures to ensure procurement practices are optimal

4) Deleted

5) Better publicize what the federal government does in fun commercials such as what’s going on in science, agriculture, historic preservation, national parks, environmental efforts like the restoring animals on the Endagered Species List, Army Corps of Engineers, NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration)

6) Instill a spirit of customer service amongst public (civil) servants so the general public improves their perception of government

7) The possibility of using Enterprise Resource Planning system tools like SAP in government agencies to better coordinate finance (as to comply with rules such as the bona fide need rule, Misappropriation Act, colors-of-money), procurement offices, auditors, senior leadership, etc. One government, one language as far as ERP, SaaS (Software as a Service), Asset Management Tools, freight carrier guides with 3PLs (third party logistics).

8) Establish a Loving Day based on the Loving Supreme Court case to celebrate multiracial families where celebrities of biracial or multiracial heritage talk about their lives such as Derek Jeter, Pete Wentz, Patrick Mahomes, Mariah Carey, Halle Barry, Blake Griffin, Zach LaVine, The Rock, Meghan Markle, Cameron Champ, etc. See article: https://andscape.com/features/black-pga-golfer-cameron-champ-is-going-places-his-grandfather-wasnt-allowed

9) Repeal the Faircloth Amendment so the federal government has the option to build public housing especially in emergencies. Inspired by Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s idea: https://nurseledcare.phmc.org/advocacy/policy-blog/item/838-faircloth-amendment.html

10) Encourage telework and refurbish commercial space into residential space

11) Deflate the College Cost Bubble by using the Department of Labor to challenge hiring criteria of businesses where many require expensive advanced degrees when jobs might require less costly education, i.e., increasing the value of a high school diploma again, etc.; requiring schools getting federal assistance or whom have had past substantial federal assistance on financial brink to consolidate to cut costs

12) Allow negotiation of Medicare drug costs

13) Establish a federal corporation that invests in prescription drug stocks because by doing so this agency can better negotiate by buying or selling shares

14) Medicare Now! Let people use thru Medicare earlier before retirement

15) Lay the ground work for single-payer Healthcare by flipping the FICA formula so out of the 7.65% where 6.20% goes to Social Security and the rest, 1.45%, towards Medicare/Medicaid (where your employes matches your contribution), you flip it but you do it slowly so those who paid into Social Security and are near retirement can get their full benefits (unless they opt for more Medicare). Raise the overall 7.65% to 8-10%.

16) E.U. style data protection for US consumers

17) Also require digital currencies be backed by some sort of convertible asset like gold or silver

18) Issue a Defense Production Act edict to gold miners to mine more gold and silver to continue increasing our vault reserves

19) Not to Exceed Age Limits for Justices such as 70 or 80 as opposed to term limits so we don’t get activist judges who constantly flip on laws as one judge takes over from the other, etc. Yet, we don’t get judges who are always in the hospital once very old

20) A Total Energy Policy that includes both green and fossil fuels including converting nuclear weapons into energy fuel for reactors, while handing over fuselages to the aerospace industry such as to send satellites into in orbit

21) Full Legalization of Cannabis and help with military recruitment by disallowing the asking about prior or post service (in the case of re-entry) Marijuana usage.

22) See my past article about Cannabis and the military: https://mitchellrg.com/2021/05/23/i-wrote-a-letter-to-congress-that-was-ignored-revising-forms-relating-to-questions-involving-cannabis-and-how-cannabis-is-a-force-multiplier-for-national-security-by-quinton-mitchell/

23) The possible establishment of a US Space Force Academy in a place like Cape Canaveral or Daytona Beach (near Embry Riddle Aeronautical University), Houston, Hunstville AL, Prescott AZ, or Santa Barbara CA near Vanderberg AFB (even if it has to still fall under the guidance of the USAFA and Air Education Training Command). Even if the school has to start off as a two-year school for junior and seniors who do their first two years at the USAFA. An academy size comparable to smaller academies such as US Coast Guard Academy or US Merchant Marine Academy. Sports will be in the small NAIA or NCAA III. Name facilities after famous astronauts or space pioneers.

24) (My personal favorite) Operation Gerbil or Gerbil Maze with NASA and companies like Blue Origin, SpaceX, Astra, etc. Replace nodes on the International Space Station with new sections but send the old ones to the Moon so we have materials to establish a small research facility. Scrap junk missions to land materials on the moon such as wiring, aluminum, etc.

25) More research into oxidation of moon rocks for air on moon facilities. See: https://youtu.be/-HGm2SSRaDs

26) Re-establish mental asylums with funds and grants to states via DHHS to help with the mentally ill homeless population.

27) Separate mental asylums, drug rehab, and jail where in many cases these are merge to cut costs especially as jails become more privatized

28) Fund clean needle exchanges and promote one-time use needles.

29) Urge cities that have lax policies on homeless peoples to encourage these people to clean their areas, aka, you can stay here if you clean the streets. This can be done by coordinating with nonprofit organizations, local police, etc.

30) Urge ISP service providers to require ALL adult sites have Two Factor Authentication to prevent minors from accessing pornography but protect pornography as free speech between consenting adults. Sites that don’t apply this such as those incorporate overseas can be blocked. I support the right to watch adult entertainment, but it is too accessible.

31) Reform federal sugar subsidies

32) Transition After Training (TAT) for Transgender service people where recruits after basic training, completing trade school and upon reaching a rank that permits off base living or single quarters will have the ability to transition.

33) Department of Justice mandate to protect Trans people if jailed be it local, state, or federal such as solitary confinement or protective custody to prevent them being abused or harassed

34) Artic Defense Pact as an extension of NATO, NORAD, and AFNORTH with Canada, US, Denmark, UK, Japan and Nordic countries to exercise and coordinate defense of the arctic especially as climate change opens waterways

35) Audit State Defense Forces for extremist elements. See: https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=xdsrAAAAIBAJ&pg=6030%2C1692394

36) Expand the early commissioning program at Junior Military Colleges but also schools like Embry Riddle Aeronautical University

37) Expand the payout for Enlisted College Loan Repayment Plans in the military

38) Expand the Segal Education Award for the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Teach America

39) House arrests for petty crimes as opposed to jailing

40) Policies to end racial segregation in jails such as isolating violent criminals from inmates capable of rehab. Segregate based on crimes committed and character (not race) instead of bunching all types of criminals together.

41) STD testing for all inmates before entry, while incarcerated, and before exit

42) Encourage the expansion of open stock market exchanges on Eastern Time to close on West Coast or Central (Chicago) Time so trading hours are extended a little bit

43) Include Mexico’s top universities into the Association of American Universities with the US and Canada to promote goodwill

44) Use Border Wall funding as leverage for increased gun control (not confiscation)

45) Return parts of federal land to Native Tribes and Native Hawaiians

46) Fly the flags of Native Tribes on federal property and deed back parts of federal lands to Native American tribes

47) Investigate Highway of Tears Native femicides with Canada

48) As Reparations Package: Free or very cheap HBCUs; free genetic testing to find African ancestry, and 0% federally insured fixed rate mortgages (Freedman Loans) as a reparations package for black Americans similar to the GI Bill and VA Home Loan

49) Require truck drivers submit DNA swabs since many unsolved crimes were submitted by truckers. Also, pilots such as those who use smaller off the radar air strips.

50) Authorize a “hacker hunter unit” with law enforcement and clandestine operation authority within the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA)

51) Have (RPCs) remote processing centers where the US can have courts and processing centers for refugees in foreign nations similar to forward-operating bases (FOBs), thus reducing the need to migrate all the way to the United States when judges can do virtual court sessions, but you have onsite translators, law enforcement officials to run background checks, etc.

52) Cash Preservation Act to ensure that large businesses are still required to do a certain percentage of businesses with paper cash currency

53) Link all successful experiments at attempting to cure HIVAIDs to race for a cure, spanning stem cells, medications, nanotechnology, gene therapy, etc.
