Policy Reflection
I'm interested in what kinds of government policy you would promote as president.
Write a brief reflection on what your first priority would be if you became president. Think about what you believe to be important for America. What's wrong with America that you would change? What should our highest priority be? How should we go about pursuing that priority?
Remember - you're president and can set the agenda.
Here are some specific questions you may use if you like, to frame your response:
What is America's biggest problem? Or what is America's most urgent need? Or what is the thing that if the U.S. government were successful in accomplishing it would make the biggest positive difference? This can be either domestic or foreign policy-related. It's in bounds to propose an area where the U.S. could provide global leadership, if that's what you think is most important.
Think big, but don't be totally unrealistic. It's not OK to recommend "A Mars base by 2022." That is (as much as I personally hate to say so) not a possibility.
What are the most important steps that need to be taken to respond to the issue you've identified?
What data support your contention that this is the most pressing need? What data support your contention that your proposed action(s) would meet that need? What data support your contention that this goal is, while aggressive or optimistic, achievable?
