Reclaim land in New Orleans with wind mill technology
We should put America to work with civil engineering jobs that build our infastructure. Drain the lands around Louisianna and bring it above water level and rebuild with the use of windmills as they do in the Netherlands.

Tax Credits to Replace Income Deductions
When volunteers in a non-profit organization perform services that are the same as, supplement or extend services provided by the Federal government then unrestricted donations to the non-profit organization ought to be treated as tax credits rather than income deductions. This would have the effect of shifting some services to the non-profit sector which can perform them cheaper through the use of volunteers. It should therefore reduce the cost and size of government. And it would tend to increase the capabilities of non-profits and bring even more volunteers to the fore. Of course the particpating agencies would have to be…

Consider John McCain as your Secretary of the Navy
Well, it would honor him. Didn't he wear that NAVY baseball cap when he was campaigning? And, that would put him at least on a par with his famous father and grandfather who were admirals - a rank he never reached. In fact, it they were still alive, he would outrank them - he would be their boss!
Not bad for a guy who graduated fourth from the bottom of his class at the academy.
Then, when he retired, a carrier could be named after him. It should be an oil fired steam turbine vessel - fueled by oil from…1 vote -

No legal loopholes Orphan Works Act
Copyrights are important to photographers and the orphan works act creates a legal loophole that would allow anyone to use your photographs posted on the internet without compensation. Imagine your family photos being used to sell a embarrasing product because they say they couldn't find the photographer..

Gov Employee Health Insurance plan for purchase by everyone
Seems an good first step to cover health care for small companies and self employed folks would be to require that any company providing health care for government employees, offer the same program for anyone wanting to sign up. The whole infrastruture is in place now. The insurance companies would need to set their prices knowing that they would have to possibly cover anyone for the same price they are bidding for government contracts. And some restrictions would apply for when you could start or switch coverage. But in essence, as far as insurance coverage goes, regular citizens would be…

Improve all Government eForms
A form is most often a constituent's first introduction to government. As such, a government form should be attractive, functional, ease the pain for constituents to submit information, and make use of the most advanced technologies at hand. In America, all agencies in the US Government host forms on the government Web sites.
Currently, almost half (48.8% as of December 2008) of all government forms are not fillable requiring a constituent to download the form, hand fill-in and fax the form back to the host agency (an archaic workflow).
In addition, many government forms are pathetic in design. Many forms…

ENACT A FLAT RATE INCOME TAX AND DISMANTLE IRS
Though the IRS employees would not like this I believe everyone would. Charge everyone 10-15% and give no deductions. It is simple and would be cost effective. People would become more honest and not try to cheat govt. anymore or hire fancy attorneys for tax dodges. Please do this...
