[quote=Anonymous]DP. I wouldn't think of it in terms of a number -- $300b a year or some other number. I'd think of it in terms of, what's good policy. And what can we afford without saddling ALL out kids (black and white) with paying off debt for generations to come. So. 1. Increase home mortgage interest tax breaks for people with low AGIs. Pay for it by reducing mortgage interest tax breaks for houses over $500K (or something) and/or higher AGIs. 2. All-out effort to make public schools better, especially in low-income areas. I'm not an educator, but I know Betsy DeVos' vouchers are NOT the way to go. 3. Universal healthcare, funded by a more progressive tax system. 4. Lower the estate tax thresholds to the inflation-adjusted equivalent of what they were before W Bush raised them to $10 million or whatever. This would impact my kids, but it makes sense. Better, replace the estate tax with an inheritance tax. And so on.[/quote]
