The solutions to our problems are so simple yet NO ONE in DC is talking about them.

EVERYBODY IS PAYING SOMETHING, but the rich are pandered to now. The middle class pays more than the rich now in all taxes and fees...And the EFFECTIVE corporate rate is 12 per cent a joke...unknown fact among the dupes...

I was looking at the southeastern US and within my opinion they need infrastructure, education, science and tech.

They'd be better off!

Seriously, no one up there is offering any REAL solutions to our debt problems. They are virtually all more interested in one upping the other side. Looking good on your 3 minute tv interview is far more important that actually submitting real solutions.

Cut the damn fat and unnecessary programs.
Rewrite laws that help people but are implimented in a wasteful fashion.
End corporate subsidies
End foreign aid
Tie welfare to work or school
Stop giving people disability for stupid shit like depression.
Raise the retirement age
Pass a bba
Cap congresses salary
Delay Ocare for EVERYONE or no one
Close outdated or unnecessary military installations
Limit food stamps to the basics of the food pyramid
Publicly fund all national elections
Term limits on congress
End lifetime appointments
Stop elevating public figures to pedestals
End paid vacations for elected officials (no reason for us to suffer alone)
Stop raising the debt ceiling
Thin the federal workforce
Stop trying to scare the public with ridiculous doomsday scenarios
Remove the D's & R's party affiliation from election ballots so pwople have to vote on issues and knowledge rather than blind partisan politics
Ban pork attachments from bills
Give a pass on taxes for a certain number of years for all money repatriated for use on American investments.
Abolish the IRS and institute a flat tax with an exemption for the first 15000 with NO OTHER write offs.
STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Of course before any of that will happen we need to kick out the money bags currently leeching off of congressional jobs.

None of that is designed to create jobs.

Austerity does not work.

Which of those things would you consider the MOST important three?

Austerity does not work. Neither does trying to spend yourself to wealth.

Cut the damn fat and unnecessary programs. ok
Rewrite laws that help people but are implimented in a wasteful fashion. mmm, I guess...
End corporate subsidies Agreed
End foreign aid Agreed
Tie welfare to work or school I'd rather just end welfare, including school welfare.
Stop giving people disability for stupid shit like depression. How about stop 100% with disability?
Raise the retirement age How about Government get out of SS?
Pass a bba Dono what that is.
Cap congresses salary Couldn't care less.
Delay Ocare for EVERYONE or no one Sure, how about letting people oped out of this unconstitutional mess?
Close outdated or unnecessary military installations Agreed
Limit food stamps to the basics of the food pyramid End food stamps, starting a problem over at 0 point will only lead to the same problems you once faced.
Publicly fund all national elections I'd like to see a public debate that does not only allow Dems/Reps.
Term limits on congress Agreed
End lifetime appointments Agreed
Stop elevating public figures to pedestals People are allowed to do that, how is it possible to stop that?
End paid vacations for elected officials (no reason for us to suffer alone) I agreed fully
Stop raising the debt ceiling Agreed
Thin the federal workforce Agreed, we can end unconstitutional programs, like SS/MC/MC/Obamacare/TSA and so on.
Stop trying to scare the public with ridiculous doomsday scenarios I see no way to stop this.
Remove the D's & R's party affiliation from election ballots so pwople have to vote on issues and knowledge rather than blind partisan politics ....
Ban pork attachments from bills Agreed
Give a pass on taxes for a certain number of years for all money repatriated for use on American investments.Rather end all deductions than create more.
Abolish the IRS and institute a flat tax with an exemption for the first 15000 with NO OTHER write offs. Everyone pays a consumption tax, all tax % are the same as the constitution clearly states in artical 1 section 8. All taxes are uniform.
STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION Agreed.

Of course before any of that will happen we need to kick out the money bags currently leeching off of congressional jobs.

Most Progressives would agree... And you would pay for this how? This is where most Progressives fail.

Within your opinion? I'm not even sure what that means since that's all you ever say.
