We don’t have a spending problem—we have a tax revenue problem.
Republicans want working folks to continue to fund MASSIVE tax cuts for the rich by convincing us to cut services & benefits for those who need it most.
The only thing we need to do is reverse tax cuts & loopholes for the mega rich.

No need for a "wealth tax" on unrealized gains:
If they borrow against that wealth (to get spending money) that should be taxed as income.
$60B less spending on the military and tax reform for billionaires and corporations would solve 90% of the problem. CEO's should be paying taxes on income derived from loans against their salary being paid in stock and the idea that corporations often pay no taxes is laughable.
We are always going to have the most expensive military on earth. But this is ridiculous.
I get that defense is important, especially if the arctic opens like the scientists are saying but I've never gotten my head around denying basic medicine in favour of killing random strangers
