And you have to fill out these policy gaps:

Taxation:
- A tax that should be raised: Consumption/sales tax.
- A tax that should be lowered: Income tax.
- A tax that should remain about the same: Gas tax (or environmental taxes for the UK)
- A new tax: A land value tax in urban areas.
- A tax that should be abolished: Corporate income tax.

Subsidies:
- A subsidy that should be raised: The Earned Income Tax credit.
- A subsidy that should be lowered: Mortgage interest/health insurance subsidy.
- A subsidy that should remain about the same: R&D tax credits.
- A new subsidy: Tax credits for private education.
- A subsidy that should be eliminated: Agricultural subsidies.

Area of expenditure:
- An expenditure category or program that should receive more funding: Probably R&D.
- An expenditure category or program that should receive less funding: The prison system.
- An expenditure category or program that is receiving about the right amount of funding: Defence.
- A new expenditure category or program: An nGDP futures market.
- An expenditure category or program that should be eliminated: NASA; transfer all funding to the NSF and eliminate funding for manned spaceflight out of Earth orbit.

I'm using "expenditure category or program" to be as broad as possible. "NASA" counts. "Defense" counts, as do subsets like "CIA" or "the F-35" or "$3,000 screwdrivers." "Health spending" counts, as do subsets of health like "Medicare" or "Medicare Part D" or "Medicare prescription drugs."

My own answers are mostly from a US perspective, since I'm more used to dealing with the American economy than any other.

Damn you, Meta. I was going to make a thread similar to this, albeit, less technical.

Ah, go ahead and make it. I'll still be interested.

Taxation:
- A tax that should be raised: Fuck that's hard... um... er... eh.... I'd say certain luxuries, but I defer to the rights of the states to tax sales as they wish.
- A tax that should be lowered: Income tax
- A tax that should remain about the same: Payroll taxes?
- A new tax: No
- A tax that should be abolished: Property tax

Subsidies:
- A subsidy that should be raised: Clean energy
- A subsidy that should be lowered: Agricultural
- A subsidy that should remain about the same: State infrastructure
- A new subsidy: no
- A subsidy that should be eliminated: Minority education grants.

Area of expenditure:
- An expenditure category or program that should receive more funding: NASA
- An expenditure category or program that should receive less funding: Military. The DoD needs to restructure for greater financial efficiency at a lower rate. The F-35 project needs to be abandoned and will never recover it's losses. Reliance on civilian contractors needs to be lowered. Uniform and supply blunders such as the ACU/UCP need to not happen. The officer corps needs to be consolidated and experience or on-the-job-training needs to replace civilian education as the primary OCS qualifier.
- An expenditure category or program that is receiving about the right amount of funding:
- A new expenditure category or program: no
- An expenditure category or program that should be eliminated: Social Security


That's... about all I got.

Give up my position, fuck being on for a day, the next person in charge will just roll back my changes.

instate primae noctis

First things first, I'd wear this while I'm dictator:

Then the things I do:
- The Kardashian family is to be executed by firing squad. Broadcast it live on TV and every streaming device all over the world. Give all their money and things away to people that deserve it.
- The Bush and Clinton families will be dumped on some remote Pacific island thousands of miles away from civilization where they will all rot.
- Drop out of the useless United Nations. Form the United Earth Directorate which will benefit all of humanity much better than the lolUN. All the UN leaders will "mysteriously" vanish after all this.
- Put Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame
- End the cancer that is Mainstream Media. Report the truth and non-bias or be destroyed.
- Make myself Dictator for life cause a dictator can do that
