I was thinking the other day, "If I were president, what executive orders would I like to implement?" And since there have only been two excutive orders that have ever been overturned, here's a few I came up with that would get the U.S. back on the road to getting the Federal Government out of our lives (and pockets) and giving states more power:

  • Dissolve the IRS
  • Dissolve the BATF and nullify all federal firearms laws as they are in direct opposition to the 2nd amendment.
  • Dissolve the EPA (the free marketcan serve this function)
  • Dissolve the OSHA (again, the free market can do this)
  • Dissolve NASA and liquidate it's assets to the private sector. 
That's just off the top of my head. Any other ideas? I can list many many more, but I want to have some discussion and more ideas. I know they are kind of drastic sounding, but every one of those agencies I have listed are the types of things the founding fathers did not want the federal government involved or associated with.
