6. Deficit question

May 2019

higher income tax, reasonable wealth tax, possible economic transaction tax since the transactions don't add to the nation's good, deficits can be useful especially if you're investing in something that will pay off later like infrastructure, but be honest about how you are paying for it. There was another revenue stream he mentioned but I missed it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
