Healthcare for every citizen run by the government since they are doing so well running both Medicare and Medicaid. Government run healthcare would not work because it would end up being just like the Medicare and Medicaid systems now. And if you think that it would be different, consider this, the same people running both of the other systems would be running this one. The only way that a healthcare system for every citizen would work is if you put amendments into the constitution protecting it. But then you have to worry about somebody in both houses of Congress attaching some ryder to it for their little pork barrel project.
College education for everyone that wants it. Did you know there are scholarships setup for kids whose parents make less than 100,000.00 per year. Don't know about trade schools having scholarship programs like that.
In order to keep manufacturing jobs in this country you would have to eliminate all persons in charge of major corporations. You will also have to do away with stockholders in those companies that want a return on their investments. Or you could just get the countries where these manufacturing jobs are going to raise the wages for all employees.
Trade laws are suppose to benefit the American consumer and not the corporations or the workers of the corporations.
The best way to take charge of the deficit now would be to raise taxes and eliminate all spending. Not just military/war spending but everything. No more money to countries for medication, food or water. You could also close every military base around the world and bring all troops home. That will save billions of dollars every year.
I think that Japan has more control over our debt than China does. Since its Japan that has been buying U.S. Treasury bonds by the Billions since about '87. The reason people in the press are saying China is because they are Communist and are starting to have a booming economy like the U.S. had once.
Taking the cap off S.S. would help that fund. But then you will have people that pay in more than both of us wanting more than their fare share (see the list below).
As for your definition of the common person. I have met a lot of people in my life that work hard for a living. And I would never classify them as common. And that goes for you as well med!
I was using Forbes figures which leaves out anybody in the entertainment field. And these people here worked from zero up to be in the top 20 of the 400 richest Americans.
1. Bill Gates Microsoft
3. Sheldon Adelson Casinos/Hotels in Las Vegas
4. Larry Ellison Oracle
5. Paul Allen Microsoft
9. Michael Dell Dell
12. Sergey Brin Google
13. Larry Page Google
14. Jack Taylor Enterprise Rent-A-Car
15. Steve Ballmer Microsoft
So it can be done by starting with zero. I left off number 2 because it was Warren Buffet and he inherited what he has. Although I will say that most of these received government grants or had investment capital to start their companies with.
