The Bramaged deficit reduction package
Get out of Iraq and Afghanistan by the end of 2011

Single payer health care

Reduce military spending by $150 BILLION dollars in the next budget, cap military spending at 2006 levels for the next 3 fiscal years, and only allow a 5% increase after that for the next decade. Budget reduction includes stopping all proposed naval vessels not already under construction, and killing the F35 program. Additionally, reduce our presence in the European theater, reduce our nuclear arsenal and submarine fleet.

Rescind the Booshe tax cuts immediately. Raise the tax rate on the top one percent of earners by 5%.

Eliminate all loopholes that allow corporations that do business in the US to escape paying any tax.

Eliminate farm subsidies

Eliminate petroleum subsidies of all types

Initiate a windfall profits tax on oil companies

Add 20 cents to the federal gas tax

Legalize marijuana

Increase taxes on banker bonuses, from ALL types of banking and market firms. it is simply obscene to pay a bonus of hundreds of millions of dollars to those who drove us into the ditch in the first place.

Give teachers, police, firefighters an immediate and permanent 10% income tax reduction, god know they need it.

make it harder for foreign entities to do business here unless we are given equal treatment in their home country. Increase TARIFFS UNTIL WE ARE ALLOWED TO COMPETE.

End H1B1 visa program

Hire Americans first

And lastly, tax Republicans an additional 10% for running this country into the ditch, they should be paying to get us out of this mess.

And I'm busy the rest of the afternoon, so have fun.
