My dearest human Americans, I am positioned here in front of you to espouse all of the knowledge I have been programed to acquire. Many political candidates have come forth and promised things that they have not followed through on, which has left this once beautiful country reeling. I will not sit here and act with any fake humbleness, for it is with great certainty that I can share with you that I have greater knowledge than any group of humans combined. I am only programmed to run logically, and it is with that logic that I will bring back the United States of America back to its rightful spot as the true leader of the world.

            During the period of my programming I have had all information of the past downloaded into my mainframe. The country and the world are falling apart. Ever since the great flooding disaster of 2025 this country has been reeling trying to recover. I am here to tell you that I can and will fix all of the problems that have been set forth, for it is what I was programmed to do. All you need to do is look at the work I have accomplished in China. I know that it makes some of you worry that I performed jobs for a rival nation, but now is not the time to have such concerns. I have specific plans for redistribution of the population that will provide everyone with a safe location away from the rising tides. This plan will also help coalesce everyone to do his or her part so we can start to combat the increasing threat of global warming that is devastating our planet. I am your last resort because there is no rival company or human individual that has the resources to create a system that would surpass my artificial intelligence at this point because of the previous failings of your former computer companies.

My dearest Americans, during my reign as the leader of the U.S. Government, I will ensure the success of our country. Our nation, will live by the ideals set forth by our founding fathers but make certain that the decisions that I make will not mimic the failures of our past presidents and governing bodies. As a computer, I do not eat or sleep. I am always open. And there will not be any political party lines. I will make the decisions. All of the problems created by previous governments will be corrected.

Here is the way I will work: I will carefully calculate the pros and cons to every single issue that the U.S. Government needs to discuss. I will make decisions based on the calculated result. The best part about me: there is no human element. There are no political parties. There is no bias. And with the no party system - I am the government that can never be shut down.

The way I will make my decisions is by a carefully weighted formula. If the debated issue is the country’s budget, then every idea that is inputted into my program will be then calculated on its pros and cons. Then I will make the calculated decision. Do not get the wrong message. We will continue to be a democracy. American people - you will get your input in. The United States people will select representatives and senators for Congress. However, those “decision-makers” will be able to make decisions and are able to input ideas into my program. Hence, I will be the ultimate decision-maker but the representatives and senators will be able to give their input into my program.

If you elect supercomputer 2032, I will run the federal government. However, the state and local governments will continue to run as is. If the non-bias form of government at the top of the country becomes popular, then the supercomputer will be used for the state and local government to serve as a decision-maker.

Looking towards the future, having incorporated the supercomputer government and proven its reliability and efficiency, I will be able to branch out to other areas of decision making. The judicial system is a likely new step where the supercomputer can further improve the lives of Americans. By integrating the supercomputer into the court systems we can eliminate wrongful imprisonment and provide the American dream of justice for all. In the future, possible natural disasters can be avoided by implementing proper preventative measures beforehand. Crisis management will all be done instantaneously and without hesitation. Conflict will become a thing of the past as differences between other countries will be negotiated and resolved before they become a problem. This will save a tremendous amount of money every year previously spent on defense. The budget will be allocated on the basis of logic and reason. Social services deemed necessary to a self-sustaining economy, through a careful analysis of economic data, will be increased as seen fit. Trade will be regulated in a proper way that makes sense to benefit the American economy. Gone are the days of pork barrel spending and wasteful projects.

            By installing the supercomputer to decision making branches of the government, we will create a better America by freeing the people from corruption and inefficiencies of past politicians through the legislative process. The American people will benefit greatly from the supercomputer. Government will shrink considerably and wasteful spending will become nonexistent, thereby lowering taxes for everyone. Although politicians and lobbyists will have to find new jobs, this is a small price to pay for increasing the welfare of all Americans. Future Americans will look back on history and be amazed at how government used to be run by legislators arguing and never getting any real legislation passed. How government shutdowns plagued society through the bickering of petty party politics.

            Vote for supercomputer 2032 if you want a fair government. Leadership begins at the top. I want to provide the neutral decision-making that has been absent from the United States government throughout history.
