Cramer knows exactly what the president-elect’s priorities should be after he’s sworn in Jan. 20. Here’s the five-point plan:
Day 1. Make Cramer Securities and Exchange Commission chairman, Federal Reserve chairman and Treasury secretary. He could do a far better job than the guys in those positions now.
Day 2. Fix the auto industry. Following the AIG [AIG

] and at the same time buy billions of dollars worth of preferred stock. This would preserve each company’s bonds and allow them to raise capital – government backing turns those bonds into high-grade paper. Cramer also wants the government to sponsor a merger of GM and Cerberus. Watch the video for more on that.
Day 3. Solve the energy crisis/create jobs. The U.S. is sitting on an immense amount of natural gas. Let’s use it. Make nat-gas vehicles part of the autos bailout, and threaten to withhold tax credits from the integrated oils if they don’t open nat-gas fueling stations. There’s your energy independence, and the new drilling will create millions of jobs.

Day 4. Stop immigrant deportation. Both legal and illegal immigrants are some of the U.S.’s most reliable homeowners. With Homeland Security hyperfocused on the border, dependable buyers – whose default rates are virtually nil – are scared from the market. Also, take the remaining $400 billion from the TARP program and buy 1.3 million homes outright. Then either give the homes away in return for 5% interest loans and minimum down payments, or pull and FDR and burn the excess supply.
Day 5. This one isn’t your typical suggestion, so watch the video to get Cramer’s explanation. Here’s a clue: It involves Richard Nixon and the Washington Redskins.
