Here's my jobs plan:

1. DRILL BABY, DRILL! Enact a public policy for all federal agencies to follow: "It is the policy of the United States of America that the nation shall achieve complete energy independence and become one of the world's top ten exporters of oil." Set a barely realistic timeline to achieve that goal. Eliminate administrative obstacles to achieving that goal.

2. Immediately strike all EPA regulations that were proposed after January 1, 2006; indefinitely suspend all rulemaking authority by EPA; permanently remove all EPA authority over any gas that is a component of "air." Permanently remove all EPA authority over "fracking" operations; reduce the EPA budget in real terms to the level it had in 2000.

3. Reduce DOE budget by 50%.

4. Fast track construction of 20 nuclear plants in "red" states; require one in four such plants to be breeder reactors.

5. Strike all regulations concerning coal production or use that were proposed after January 1, 2006.

6. Permanently cut corporate income tax to just below that of Ireland; impose three year moratorium on collection of any corporate income taxes for businesses earning less than $1billion per year.

7. Construct 5 new petroleum refineries in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida (1 each), and statutorily require that for every refinery that is retired from service a new refinery with 110% capacity of the retiring one be built with no gap in service.

8. Eliminate the diesel tax.

9. Strike all CAFE regulations.

10. Strike the income tax code for all individuals and small businesses, replace with the Fair Tax. Mandate that no tax return under the Fair Tax may be longer than one side of one 8.5x11 inch page, with font at least 10pt.

I could go on, but you get the idea.
