Deficit/ Debt (United States)
I still need to do research on this issue, and get more feedback in order to lay out a feasible plan, but here are a few of my ideas off the top of my head.
• Participatory Budgeting
• Get $ Directly where it will be spent, less red tape
• Clear Budgets with easily understandable graphs, income, and expenditures
• Reduce employees where applicable
• Job transition programs
• Increase affluence taxes to make equal to % of middle class (top 400 or so incomes)
• Programs to Reduce Poverty, improve economy through small business and new jobs, and increase tax revenue
• Temporal Budgeting (don’t spend money we don’t have)
• Keep Education a high priority for future growth
• Focus on creating Peace and Conflict Mediation to reduce need for military spending
• Reduce Military costs over time and offset the industry with subsidies and transitional programs
