Federal Law Enforcement Officers should need to pass a bi-annual physical fitness test. If they carry a gun, they should also be able to walk up a flight of stairs.
Physically fit law enforcement agencies/departments could save the Fed Gov lots of money.

The Federal Government needs to focus on keeping jobs here in the US. We need to lower the corporate taxes for companies with the bulk of its employees made up of US citizens and raise corporate taxes on companies located abroad that employ non-US citizens. The corporate tax rate should be calculated to motivate companies away from sending jobs overseas, but still allow all companies to benefit from doing business in ...more »

The US currently only really charging import tariffs on agricultural goods. We should start implementing tariffs on other goods to give USA made products a competitive chance. We should also lower the corporate taxes for companies with the bulk of its employees made up of US citizens and raise corporate taxes on companies located abroad that employ non-US citizens.

Create a method of oversight that holds Federal politicians, employees and contractors accountable for their actions or lack thereof. Whether it is filing a lawsuit, choosing not to take on an issue or dodging responsibility, most people in the Federal Government can avoid accountability until they reach their retirement. This current atmosphere of 'avoid-ability' is entirely the fault of the government leadership who ...more »
Create a method of oversight that holds Federal politicians, employees and contractors accountable for their actions or lack thereof. Whether it is filing a lawsuit, choosing not to take on an issue or dodging responsibility, most people in the Federal Government can avoid accountability until they reach their retirement. This current atmosphere of 'avoid-ability' is entirely the fault of the government leadership who choose to pander to cry babies rather than stand up for the taxpaying citizens of the US.
This system is unacceptable and any talk of creating a more efficient government needs to start there.

Make it financially irresponsible for any employer to consider hiring an illegal alien, by increasing and implementing higher fines. Open larger registrations centers that issue H2B visas at our southern POEs and extend the length those workers can stay to 1 year. Make all state and local governments that take Federal money, run an 'illegal alien inquiry' through their law enforcement agency after any individual has ...more »

These methods will protect citizens and immigrants.

The Fed needs to reform hiring practices for gov employees. They need to hire the most qualified candidates and remove preferences for vet/ethnicity/sex. If they continue to hire people for any other reason than those people being the most qualified, they will get what they seek. Preference for certain groups should come in the form of recruitment and application support, not additional points that may knock more qualified ...more »
