In these days, total effort and attention is devoted to limiting DT’s damage. I see no vision for a better world. Change that. Tell your congressman and two senators that you want a Green New Deal.
Here is my list:
1) Starting a Second Marshall Plan that will end poverty everywhere and reverse global warming,
2) Taxing arms sales,
(Proceeds would go to funding the Second Marshall Plan.)
3) Beginning a moratorium on nuclear weapons research,
4) Reducing the bloated US military budget by 50%,
(The US defense budget is equal to the next 9 countries in line.)
5) Training our armed forces for disaster relief,
6) Establishing a cabinet level War Abolition Department,
7) Reducing our nuclear weapons to 1,000, and,
8) Reducing our overseas military bases from 750 to 100,
9) Negotiating for all the world’s nuclear weapons to go off hair trigger alert,
10) Reforming Income Tax Code where only major corporations and families with more than $250,000 annual income would pay federal income tax, and,
11) Abolish the War on Drugs which has been ineffective and corrupt. Look at the drug laws in Portugal, the Netherlands and Uruguay.
12) Establish a world-wide FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Program) for famines, fires, wars, droughts, floods recovery for every country.
13) Regulate artificial intelligence.
14) Fund alternative energy.
Make things happen.
We shall overcome,
