End our dependence on fossil fuel and going 100% renewable energy.
End our trade agreements making more expensive to make products or provide services out side of America and then bring it back here as it would be to just make it or provide it here at home through tax incentive and tariffs bringing the factories and jobs back home.
Rebuild our infrastructure making the government the employer of last resort.
Medicare for all bringing us single payer universal health care
Increase SS benefits and lower the retirement age.
Free college education
End Citizens United
This is the short list. But we have in power those who only want to enrich themselves and don't care about the well being of the society in which he lives.
