Leadership
The main aspect of government will be divided into 3 parts: The Assembly, The Council, and the Chancellor.

The Assembly
Democratically elected every 4 years. However there is a poll tax of quarter (25 cents, 1/4 dollar. This is not finalized, but based on the current value of the US dollar. Should inflation rise, this may do so as well). There are 300 of them, and vote on new bills trying to be passed. Works similar to the congress of the united states. The main difference is 4 year terms instead of 2 and they don't vote on war declarations.

The Council
Made up of 25 people, they are required to spend at least 8 years in the Assembly. They are elected by both the Assembly itself and appointed by the Chancellor. Other requirements are to have a masters in both politics and economics and have an IQ over 120. This is the main body of government and makes most of the decisions in government. If 20 of the 25 support or refute a bill, then it becomes law, if a majority get it, then it goes to the assembly to decide. Elected every 10 years.

The Chancellor
Elected by the Council, he also leads the Council. He is required to have spent at least 12 years on the council. He has the right to veto Council decisions. He is elected for life or until 18 of the 25 Councillors want him fired.

Economic Policy
Here is why my ultra-right wing views come into play. Although the peoples opinions are to be taken into consideration, In order to increase taxes or spending, 18 members of the council need to support it, as opposed to 13 for anything else.

Corporate Policy
To prevent a monopoly from rising and taking control over a sector of the economy. The main restriction will be that
1 Corporation cannot own more then 25% of a certain sector of the economy unless it is a crown corporation (which will be very rare). The largest 8 corporations cannot own more then 75% unless the government deems otherwise (Once again, very rare). This will guarantee that the market will always remain competitive and interesting.

There will also be relatively heavy restrictions on Marketing, but as this isn't in my field of knowledge I can't think of much.

Health Care
Semi-private: The government endorses 2 free check ups a year for all citizens. Beyond that its up to you (or your health insurance) to pay for you. This full check up actually would reduce spending on health care as it gives the benefits off both the private and public system (from an economic perspective). This would (according to my mother who gets paid 300,000 a year as an economist for health Canada) reduce the US spending on health care by 45%-65% if implemented. It would also raise the life expectancy by 3 months.

Education
Think of Germany's current educational system. Its very similar to that, and because I don't feel like giving the exact details, lets just leave it at that for now.

Social Security
Should be non-existent. You take away money from them now, to give back to them in 40 years. It is mostly just a waste of cash. Some insurance companies would probably be better at this then the government.

Defense
Have a slightly stricter immigration policy and don't declare war on people every other day. 45-50% of US spending is on Defense, Canada's is only 12% (Or something like that, its been 3 years since I Googled these, so my memory may be a little fogged) and we seem to be safe. I know why the US budget needs to be bigger, but spending has gone to far up since 2001 as a result of a virtually insignificant plane crash.

Banks
Canada's. We have the safest and most efficient banking system in the world, and it works for me.

Social policies:
Ultra left wing in some issues, Ultra right wing in others. However as some of the views might get me an infraction, I would rather not post them.

Ok, now lets see how many people can find reasonable flaws in it?
