Obama can only claim to be socialist (I don't know where you lot gets this claim from, he's a freaking liberal!), if he creates a NHS style health care service for everyone and starts to subsidise higher education.
But anyway, you lot may not like it, but you have to raise taxes for everyone, especially the rich. I say a maximum of 50% on earnings over a million dollars (up from apparently 40%). The Obama administration must also fix any tax loopholes and punish any tax avoiders/ frauders. America can't afford any more tax cuts, she is falling apart at the seams.
End the war in Afghanistan and hand over any foreign military base to the country it's in (that should save a few billion).
pretty much end what Bush did in his 8 years |
Higher education is already subsidized for public Colleges/Universities.
New tax code: Flat tax. One page. Not thousands. No loopholes, just one rate for everyone. I can think of nothing more fair.

it's still among the most expensive higher education in the world ($30000 a year and up!). But, I would of said free HE, but USA can't afford it currently.
How much is this "flat tax"?

The public university I went to was super cheap. The state also offered scholarships with pretty low requirements. I paid less than 10k for school and my degree. This includes summer classes, books, etc. during my 4 years. I don't buy that college is too expensive.

I went tomy college for 2 years. How much did I pay? 0 dollars. I got 6k in grants and the school was only like 3-4k for tuition and books. That means I got an extra 4-6k from the government. My next two years will be at Marquette University. I will only pay 2.5k out of pocket for tution this semester so 5k a year. So basically 10k for the next two years... but I got that 4-6k from the previous 2 years which was extra. So, 4-6k out of pocket for tuition for my degree (this does not include books for the next 2 years). not expensive at all
