Opinion of this hypothetical Economic Policy

[OSR stands with Israel]

Spending Reform  Policy:

- Auditing any department where the federal government has allocated 50 billion dollars a year over the past decade

- Using the audit , cutting any program (defense and domestic ) which has been wasteful and reforming any program which has inefficient .

- Demanding NATO allies spend 2% of their GDP on defense

- Allow US government to import  prescription drugs from Canada thus , using it as a negotiating tatic to lower the price of prescription  drugs which will result in the costs of medicare and medicaid to go down

Tax Policy:


- Cut income taxes on all Americans ( Having rates of 0% 10% 18% 25% 33%)

- Tax Income and Dividends at the same rate

- Cut the top corporate tax rate to 25% and have rates of(0%,5%10%,15%,20%,25%) and allow all businesses who have 4 or more employees to pay taxes at the corporate level and not the income level

- For Business who dont ship their jobs overseas or automate their jobs , their tax rate is reduced by 40% while companies who continue to layoff workers and either automate them or ship them overseas their tax rate is increased by 40%

- Eliminate the carried interest loophole

- Have a one time wealth tax of 40% on all overseas tax havens , and after that tax the money you put there at double the rate taxes are here in the US.


Domestic Policy:



- Allocate 100 Billion Dollars a year on infrastructure projects(this money will come from spending cuts in other areas and the wealth tax on overseas tax havens, and we still will have lots of money to spare)

- Invest more money in trade schools , and job training while massively cutting back spending in degree programs what dont get people jobs(mostly non English and History liberal arts programs)

- Allow people to by health insurance across state lines while setting minimum requirements for all insurance to provide catastrophic coverage

- Increase minimum wage for non dependents to $10.50 dollars and hour and have it adjust for inflation

- Reform welfare and transition it to workfare(on infrastructure projects) or job trainingfare .



Trade Policy:


- Do Trade policy with countries one at a time and give more favorable trade deals to countries with similar labor standards as the USA.

- Make a rule that any country who tariffs US products we will tariff your products as well

- Countries who have gilded age labor standards(such as no min wage, child labor , or unsafe labor) tariff their products at 25%

According to all known laws
of aviation,
there is no way a bee
should be able to fly.
Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, of course, flies anyway
because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.

how is the taxing tax shelters bad, how is the college plan bad , how is the healthcare plan bad ,and how is giving incentives to  corporations not shipping jobs overseas bad.

STEM needs more money, humanities don't need much, if any cutting. Buying insurance across state lines doesn't solve anything. People overseas need jobs too, and their economies need it to develop.

I said we should cut humanities programs to fund job training programs and trade schools  . I never said STEM doesn't need more money  , as those degrees get people jobs . I clearly said we should cut funding from degrees that don't get people jobs .

Yes  People  in other counties do need  jobs ,but our goverment first priority is to make sure people in our own country get jobs .

You are what happens when government cuts humanities funding.

Let's put aside, for a moment, the notion that humanities degrees don't get people jobs (they most certainly do!).  College, in the minds of most employers, is nothing more than an extension of high school: an institution to suit the needs of children where early education failed.  A college degree in most cases is acquired for the sake of being economically competitive, even for jobs that would otherwise not merit a four-year degree and a lifetime of debt.  So punishing non-STEM students for not studying STEM (itself becoming an increasingly convoluted and specialized set of fields, especially as math and science are concerned) isn't optimal here.  Enabling high schools to actually give students the skills they need, rather than sending off these failed products of our high schools to rot in even more nerve-racking institutions, is.

But no - all of these ideas are terrible, of course.

They don't have to go to STEM , they can go into the buisness field as well which has many degrees which can get people good paying  jobs ( Accounting, Finance , Management, Marketing ) .They can also attend a trade school as well which will be more funded in this plan

Business degrees are pretty pointless, too.  In fact, my parents (my dad had a Bachelor's in Economics, and my mom had a tech school degree) were able to run a small business together for more than a decade.  Before that, my father worked as a software programmer for a large confectionary company.  My mom's degree is no longer useful because the computers she learned to fix are long obsolete.

The takeaway here is that most of the job skills you need are given to you, on the job.  And since most Americans change jobs - what, six times? - it's baffling to me how eight or twelve years of institutionalized learning are inherently more valuable than four years in a decent high school.

So the problem here isn't that some students major in biology while others major in English, it's that having an English degree is necessary to keep a person from being """""unemployable."""""

High school kids should be required to pass a citizenship test to graduate , and be required to know basic history . For electives yes they should be taken but in college the government should prioritize funding to degrees what get people good paying jobs , as that's what help our economy grow.

You've never had a real job have you?

Word to the wise, most employers look at a degree as something that shows you are able to learn. They don't expect you to come into an entry level job with all the skills and knowledge required. Doing an accounting or business undergrad really isn't going to give you the skills that you will actually use at work

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

You must discard the word Fancy altogether. You have nothing to do with it. You are not to have, in any object of use or ornament, what would be a contradiction in fact. You don't walk upon flowers in fact; you cannot be allowed to walk upon flowers in carpets. You don't find that foreign birds and butterflies come and perch upon your crockery; you cannot be permitted to paint foreign birds and butterflies upon your crockery. You never meet with quadrupeds going up and down walls; you must not have quadrupeds represented upon walls. You must use for all these purposes, combinations and modifications (in primary colours) of mathematical figures which are susceptible of proof and demonstration. This is the new discovery. This is fact. This is taste.


(also business degrees are pretty worthless)
