Okay, Gordon, you're on. How about we begin by eliminating ALL services provided to illegal aliens? They now cost us a sum total in excess of 333 billion...yes, you heard that right...billion dollars a year for services that many legals in this country can't even get unless they're damned lucky (or unlucky, depending on the point of view).

How about we change the law that says anyone born in this country is automatically an American citizen. It's patently absurd, for one thing and, in regards to illegal aliens, it divides families and makes America and Americans out to be the bad guys.

We're too damned soft-hearted for our own good, truthfully, and those who wish to destroy us, use it against us time and time again. They rub our noses in any dirt they can find and ignore all the good that we do time and again in the media.

If you want to clean up our health care system, begin with cleaning house in the FDA and rein in the pharmaceuticals. Open our doors to some of the advanced cancer care that people who can afford it here go to Germany to get...even ex-president Ronald Reagan. You can expect Big Pharma to fight it tooth and nail because cancer is BIG PROFITS for them.

Let's give our doctors the tools they need to do their jobs right. It's disgraceful in this day and age for doctors to have virtually no training in basic health care such as nutrition and natural methods of treatment. It's long past time we took medicine out of the closet and looked at ALL sides.

You can begin by getting Big Pharma OUT of the doctor's offices (and our pockets)...they don't belong there. Doctors can get the information they need about new advances without visits from representatives and phone calls that berate them for not prescribing the latest medicines. Many good doctors are quitting because of the constant pressure and harrassment. Let's give them some needed relief.

Instead of a wall they will just tunnel under, how about a 'no trespassing zone'. Anyone caught wandering in it will be warning shot at and, if they run or try to get away, they will be shot...no questions asked at that point. End of problem.

Extreme, perhaps, but effective measures are better than watching a great country go down the tubes.

You asked. You received. More if you're interested.
