We can't keep running up debt..
This is my plan:
The government gets 3.3 trillion a year in taxes..
Spend 600 billion of defense
Spend 600 billion on healthcare
Spend about 250 billion on infrastructure
Spend about 100 billion on SEC, FDA, etc
Spend about 1 billion on staff
Spend 5 billion on secret service
We aren't even at half the budget yet and everything important is paid for and funded at higher levels than the current ones
Keep 100 billion in "savings" rainy day account
Spend another 50 billion on science and technology
Spend 10 billion on NASA
Altogether that's about 1.7 trillion
You can add on another 25 billion in foreign aid every year
Still under 1.8 trillion which is about 50% of what we spend and only about 55% of what we actually bring in..
So if we bring in 3.3 trillion and we only spend 1.8, that leaves about 1.5 trillion to pay towards debt.. sad thing is it would take over 20 years to pay off our debt even if paying 1.5 trillion a year
Government has a spending problem, not a revenue.
This is literally the most critical issue facing America

When people talk about wages, they are talking about jobs that can provide for a household, mainly manufacturing and other related industries.. those jobs are being syphoned away thru trade acts, which in return is stagnating the economy.
No one cares if a burger flipper at McDonald's is getting $8 an hour..
Those are bottom of the ladder jobs, and shouldn't pay the same as skilled Labor.

I prefer to let the market forces raise workers' wages.
This happened in the 80s, for example. A good jobs market saw wages rise. It's Capitalism 101.

And if you believe in the 'free market' wages wouldn't be determined by what you 'think' they should be.
And manufacturing jobs are never coming back. Automation and offshoring is cheaper, so businesses will opt for that option.
Why do you oppose min wage increases, but support manufacturing workers being artificially protected through protectionism?
Not 'free market' is it?
