Why not:
Spending policy
- Reform Medicare and Social Security (reforming is another word for cutting spending here tbh)
- Invest more in infrastructure and especially R&D (though most of the R&D spending should go to incentives for companies)
- Find other spending cuts if possible
Tax Policy
- Replace the corporate income tax with a VAT
- Implement a carbon tax. Maybe you can use the revenue for the R&D incentives I mentioned earlier
- Cut income tax rates paid for by repealing all itemized deductions except the one for charitable giving
- Replace the tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance with a fixed credit for everyone who purchases health insurance including people who don't get employer-sponsored coverage
Trade Policy
- Finish TTIP and sign TPP
- Keep NAFTA and other existing trade deals
- More trade deals, especially with Asian countries
Regulatory Policy
- Squish the labor unions
- Rewrite Dodd-Frank and Sarbanes-Oxley. They're better than nothing, but there are a lot of unnecessary rules in them (and there probably also are some areas that aren't properly regulated)
- Review all federal regulations and cut unnecessary red tape as much as possible
