If the Democrats were to win the House and Senate and the White House, what should be the agenda?
   
I would think one of the first lines of business would be to reform the present tax system? Fix the loopholes.

Secondly, the tax breaks for moving businesses overseas should come to an end. It is time.

Thirdly, no dollars stashed and hidden in foreign accounts would be guaranteed and protected by the US Government. If their currency were to fail, that would be their problem, not the American people's problem.

Fourth, to fix Obamacare, there should be Medicare For All. Anybody can buy into it. Anybody that wants to keep their present insurance would be permitted to do so. However, those that are uninsured or wish to sign up for Medicare For All would be permitted to do so.

There should be a leveling of drug prices in this country. It should be required. Drugs in America should not cost more than it does in other countries.

That would be a good start for this progressive.

3. Fix Obamacare first.

Even if it's just to add a public option. That will keep it alive.

If we have control of Congress, it's not likely to last long. Do as much as you can with the time you have improving the one thing the opposition hates and wants to destroy.

Nothing can be done in just 2 years
That's why the 1965 laws lead to this juncture to demolish the GOP, now it's time to finish the job

We have a generation starting out in life up to their eyeballs in debt. Marriage, home ownership, saving, etc. are all out of reach while they struggle to pay off their debts with jobs that don't pay enough.

16. My number one priority

Is to find a way to get money out of the political system. I think if that could be achieved all the other things would be easier to achieve

So you say but everything you guys are listing involves getting other people's money into the political system so you can spend it on yourselves.

18. Turn Medicare into a single payor and remove the FICA cap.

No more "buying" into health insurance. It is "cradle to grave" like Canada. Fund it by a payroll tax and cuts to defense spending.

Remove the cap on payment of FICA taxes. If you make $5M, you pay it on every damn ounce of it.

Paying for something you don't need to support those who need it but don't pay for it is "fair."

19. I agree fix tax system to remove the artificial budget deficit and kill a major GOP talking point

second fix problems with Obamacare

third fix predatory lending from payday loans to student loans

four free or have a trial for everyone in Gitmo (it's time)

five name Obama for the open court vacancy. They refused to follow the constitution so * them. Obama has 60% approval and is qualified for the job. He's the perfect replacement for Scalia.

six encourage people like Van Jones to run for office in the mid-terms. Don't run away from Hillary but aggressively run in every district and tout accomplishments.

seven appoint a special prosecutor to look into Trumps business (just kidding)

eight federally fund abortion. **** it, it's time. Women deserve federally funded health care options.

Nine infrastructure spending. It's time to make a modern America.

And it goes on like that.

Fascism and freebies.

Blah blah ... destroy the economy ... blah blah ... free shit ... blah blah ... drive companies out of business or out of the country ... blah blah ... free shit ... blah blah ... put millions out of work ... blah blah ... free shit ... blah blah ... free shit! ... blah blah ... FREE SHIT! ... blah blah ...

If the primitives got all they wanted, or even a sizable portion of it, they would be quite surprised when a large number of citizens decided the USA isn't really conducting itself like the Constitution mandated and that they simply aren't going to go along. KA-BOOM! Liberals will never figure out they're failures until their world is crumbling around them because no one wants their perverted version of freedom, which isn't really freedom at all. And even then, they'll blame the downfall on those who chose not to join them.

The DUmmy doesn't mean that money, only money that goes to Republican candidates. (Despite rumors to the contrary, the Koch brothers do not financially support the Libertarian Party).

And anyone advocating war shall be legally required to have at least one of their kids in the military on active service. 

I don't have kids.  So, if I think any given war is just, I should be thrown in the camps?

This election has pretty much pulled the curtain back on everything the Dems claim to believe.

No more wars? No.

They want transparency? No.

They want the money out of politics? Ha!

They want fairness in elections? Ha and bloody ha ha!!

And that is why much of their campaign message is basically "Anyone but Trump".

18. Turn Medicare into a single payor and remove the FICA cap.

... Fund it by a 1. payroll tax and 2. cuts to defense spending.

Remove the cap on payment of FICA taxes. 3. If you make $5M, you pay it on every damn ounce of it.

1. This fool must not look very closely at his paycheck stubs. Or maybe it's been a really long time since he's seen one, IYKWIM.

2. Works like a charm! Costs American lives every time it's tried! Standard Lib/Prog bogeyman since FDR.

3. Why do I suspect this DU-moron would oppose a corresponding lifting of caps on Social Security benefits checks?

[franksolich]

The idiocy in the face of recorded history can still be breathtaking.

I wish the primitives would get out of their 1960s mind-set re: the defense budget.

Until 1969, the defense budget was the largest part of the federal budget, but then the primite's bete noire Richard Nixon slowly turned things, and it was during his administration that non-defense expenditures exceeded defense expenditures.  At first, only by a little tiny bit, but as time and presidents went on, social spending way outmatched defense spending.

To insist upon cutting the defense budget any more than it's already been downsized, is s-o-o-o-o-o 1960s, and the primitives need to get with the times.  The sixties were fifty ****ing years ago.

And anyone advocating war shall be legally required to have at least one of their kids in the military on active service.

Interesting perspective since if anyone is going to get us into a shooting match with potentially Russia (and who knows who else), it'll be Hillary.

   The part in bold.. do these morons never freaking learn?

[jukin]

First, did anyone else notice that all of the things they want to change were things that Obama ****ed up with Shit Midas touch. Thinking that a senile old drunkard will change things because she has a ***** is pretty damn funny...but typical for the left end of the bell curve.

Second, "Secondly, the tax breaks for moving businesses overseas should come to an end. It is time." the only tax breaks companies get overseas is not having to pay the highest corporate tax on the planet. However, the biggest cost to companies that stay in the USA is regulatory cost. Other countries don't HATE private business like the fascist democrats do.

Third, until the traitorous Ryan and the rest of the GOPe went full democrat, there was no way the HOR would have fallen into satan's hands again. Now, I think that is 60/40 the GOPe keeps the House. I know lots of people that have become #NeverGOPe. They will vote Trump and then not vote GOPe or vote democrat/Libertarian. At this time what is the difference between Donk and Ryno?

[landofconfusion80]

There is no difference. Bush took away many civil rights and to the same applause as democrats do.

Medicare for all!!!  Free health care!!!

These dummies are not familiar with medicare at all. It ain't the best insurance.  Ask any senior citizen.  The dummies would be bitching about it if they got it cause they would have to pay something.

Not to mention medical providers LOSE money because the federal government mandates what they will pay and the providers have to accept it.  Same as medicaid.  That is the reason that medical costs for private insurance/insurers is thru the roof.  Let medicare pay something close to reasonable... even cost + 1 percent... and watch the other insurance costs go down.  Let medicare be the sole provider of insurance... well we know how that will work out.  Dummies are too stupid to realize that providers have to at least break even or go out of business.

[Stopped reading the drivel about here - DAT]

Except of course for wind, solar, and biofuel subsidies, tax exemption for unions and foundations, etc., etc....

And there isn't actually a tax break for moving businesses offshore, there is a tax penalty for operating overseas but having your corporate headquarters here.
