If I Were President

If I were president, two of my main focuses would be reducing job cuts and going ‘Green’.

Also, we could reduce the mass production of sweets and would save money by not using factories as much, also reducing pollution in the air, which is one way to go green. Recently the company of IBM in San Francisco cut 1,500 employees.

Another way to make money for the government is to not give sports athletes as much pay. For example, baseball player Alex Rodriguez makes approximately twenty five million dollars a year, what five hundred teachers combined make in a year. That is twenty five million dollars for swinging a bat. So, once we slowly earned enough money by keeping the candy production reduced and oil drilled in our country, we might be able to stop job cuts for good.
