Of course, if you would budget that, and be fiscally responsible with your borrowing, using it for the good of the country, not for handing out like a crack whorewith both hands to corporations, and spending on worthless military-industrial complex consumables and so on, but on infrastructure and american citizenry.

well, thats gotta be tongue in cheek.
Largest being military-industrial spending.
Tax the rich, and tax the living shit out of corporations, and take caps off ss.

If you tax the living shit out of corporations they will move elsewhere and they will not have the money to invest in themselves to stay competitive, create more jobs, etc.
Taking caps off ss is basically stealing unless you are going to pay out more to those people when they retire.


When you increase costs to corporations, those increases are, generally, paid for by consumers. Businesses aren't just going to absorb added costs. They will increase their prices to account for the added costs.

AT the same time, we are unnecessarily subsidizing some industries while pretending we're about free markets. And that's just taxpayers paying corporate costs for them.

Not to mention buying the military costly toys it doesn't want or need.
