Oops, it turns out I cannot just abolish all the public services, because people actually like them, especially when they are free or at least really really cheap but very very well maintained. Apparently, public services reassure and comfort people that the government is doing something with the budget other than spend it on dinners and country mansions. Thank God I didn't go ahead and bragged on about abolishing them in my campaign, would have caused a masses upheaval before even getting to become a president! The challenge now is how to abolish all taxes to make people better off but keep public services and improve them. I could be asked that by some nasty journalist but for the life of me I don't know how I'd answer. Bar said not to worry about it too much as we could stage a technical fault if such a question crops up.

cheap services that are well maintained. It is really a Wonderland your country - not Follyland!
Abolish (with great fanfare) all direct personal taxation, but raise (with nary a whisper) indirect taxation. People, after the euphoria inspired by this evidence that there really is such a thing as a free lunch, then discover that there isn't.
After the upper, the downer. But you are above and below them (metaphorically speaking, of course, Madam Prez), and as they come down, you're ready and waiting. The reason that bread and mobile phones have become unaffordable for untaxed wages is ... Wallyland.
They've got hold of the financial markets, and even worse, control commodity prices. Oil is plummeting (Wallyland has been financing sustainable power sources) and Follyland is doomed unless it takes action. NOW!
No leader is more popular than a war leader.*
*Make that a successful war leader. But you can think about that later.
I wanna see you .....
Has it been that long!!!!!!!!!!
