But was it the long form?

For one thing, I would cap spending on government salaries, INCLUDING congress, then get a bill passed to fund the rebuilding of the infrastructure of the United States, which at current estimates would cost 400 billion over the next ten years, but it would create a shit load of new jobs, directly and indirectly.

Then I would raise taxes on everyone making over $500,000. Close the loopholes in corporate taxes, make tax breaks available to companies creating jobs in the united states.

Finally, I would get some sensible gun control legislation passed. First every firearm imported of manufactured in the US would be fired so a full ballistic mark record is in a database that would allow any weapon to be traced to either the owner or show up as stolen, make it so if you REALLY want to own a fully automatic weapon, you pay $1500 every four years for a federal permit, and last but not least, pass federal mandatory minimums for anyone using a gun in the committing a crime, such as 15 years in prison for a first offense, and going up 10 years for each offense following that.

Actually, none of those things fall under the auspices of the office of the President.

Yes, if I wanted the job, but I doubt anyone would want me to be the president.

LMAO! What other tools are you against because they're too effective? Electric drills? Backhoes? You can drill a lock or go grave-robbing with those, you know. It's not the tool used that needs to be addressed, but the crime it's used for.
