Even worse than our interventionist policy is the fickle nature of our government. Since the end of WWII, supporting dictators and fascist regimes as it benefited us (be it to stave off communism or otherwise).

- Internally, one thing I would like to see is the government lowering the national debt. We as a nation are spending more than we make.
- I would like to see the prohibition on drugs ended. Honestly, it didn't work on alcohol, and it isn't working with all the rest right now (no, I don't do drugs either). We spend too much enforcing it, and too much on keeping offenders in jails and prosecuting them.
- I would like to see more government bureaucracies enter the private sector under the ideal that competition will produce a more efficient result.
- Growing hemp in the US is illegal even though there are several industrial uses for the plant.
- I would like to see some of the grandfathered rules for plants removed (regarding pollution and waste).

I can't think of anymore off the top of my head that involve removing restrictions, and lessening government power.

As for the government engaging in more activities, the ones I support involve taking action for the environment.
- Tax incentives for installing solar power into homes and businesses.
- Increased efficiency for cars. Give grants to researches at universities to pursue this. I would hope they wouldn't be biased like car and oil companies.
- Tax incentives for recycling.

Money has to come from somewhere, and if we weren't fighting in Iraq we would have money to spend. If there wasn't the war on drugs, we would have money to spend. Didn't look up numbers, but from what I remember they are fairly hefty.
