Senator Travelinman, Anything Changed?

Here's ten minutes worth. If I expounded on everything, I'd be here for days.

Under the theme of Federalism:
1) Create an ombudsman oversight agency to investigate complaints of inefficiency or abuse of authority by government agencies. Akin to the Special Prosecutor empowerment, the GAO should be empowered to investigate and compile evidence and data, then mandated to release, unredacted (excepting matters of national security) it's reseach and conclusions.
2) Strip the EPA of their totalitarian authority over states and industry. Note, I did not say disband the EPA. Few other federal agencies wield their centrist authority with as much impunity.
I can site chapter and verse of cases where the EPA targeted businesses for enforcement, then stopped at no financial end to win their case. In one example, the business targeted was owned by one of the wealthiest Californians, and after years of litigation, the businessman was fined $1,500,000...for deep plowing his farmland (or as the EPA called it, "wetland swales") without a permit. http://www.altlaw.org/v1/cases/1371324" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This was clear case of a rogue government agency utilizing a technical fault in environmental protection law to extort a settlement from a wealthy businessman.
3) Realign elective (pork) funding to require 85% of all submitted projects over the next decade to be directly connected with a federally recognized "energy independence" development programs (including nuclear, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, coal gasification, AND OFFSHORE DRILLING: NO "TYPE" OF ENERGY WOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM THE PROGRAM.).
4) Establish an energy independence policy with hard deadlines, and tax incentives for completion of key components within deadline parameters.
5) Establish tax incentives for creation of new, permanent jobs, and in-service education.
6) Limit total secondary education cost (tuition, housing, books, ALL associated fees) to wage increase rates for post secondary educators.
7) Jail all UNI alum living in Wisconsin.
