I have already stated that we should have been in Afghanistan in full force and never invaded Iraq. So that's taken care of. As for tax-cuts, they should have been cuts in SS taxes, since even the first dollar is taxed and it would spread a modest amount of money among several people (many of whom are so poor that they have to spend every dollar that they get). There should have been no cuts on dividend taxes, and if there were, they should have been on the paying corporation's side and not on the recipient's side. Not having dividend tax cuts would have kept the deficits under control and at the same time, most people would not be affected adversely since most folks don't get dividends anyway. As for healthcare, the first thing is to ensure that it is not a for-profit business, but instead a non-profit one. Universal coverage should be the goal (if the world's wealthiest country cannot even provide basic healthcare, then something's wrong with the picture) but at the very least we should stop the phenomenon of seeing a million or two million losing their health coverage every year and swelling the ranks of the uninsured (from 30+ million a few years ago to 40+ million now). So there!
