Now that we are ruining our credit rating....
what can we do to quickly decease the debt? My favorites include:

1. Single-payer health-care, still the best piece of legislation available to this nation.

2. Cut military spending in half(at least-1/3 or 1/4 even better), which includes stopping all wars(and war related actions.) Decrease the number of overseas bases.

3. Restore Clinton era tax rates, close all cooperate loopholes.

4. Pass a sane drug policy, treatment when needed not jail.



Watch how fast debt disappears.



And do not brother to tell me none of this will pass, I realize there to much money to be make destroying this county.

2. Singer Payer is so simple, balance our budget and make U.S. companies competitive
Take the onus off of medicare and medicaid and all of a sudden we don't have to worry about funding SS ever again.

5. I would add, legalize and tax some currently illegal drugs such as marijuana ...
Plus I would have business experts analyze government agencies for inefficiency and teach them how to cut the fat to become leaner and more efficient.
