5. I agree with you on expeditures but I do think we don't collect enough taxes from the wealthy.

We could lift the cap on SS, to insure the program's continuation.

We need to have Medicare for all, thereby bringing down health care costs.

We could close tax loopholes for the rich that do nothing but "starve the beast" as the repukes say.

We need to spend MORE money on infrastructure to kick start the economy and create even more tax revenue, all the while bringing more economic justice to our system.

We need to spend more on education to insure a well functioning economy down the road.

We need to spend MORE, not less, on R&D and scientific research.
