Raise eligibility age for Medicare and Social Security incrementally over the next (insert period of time), and look into means testing for both programs.
stop Methanol subsidies; Methanol has always been a boondogle taking more energy to produce than it gives; cut other farm subsidies to farms making more than 250,000, both of these two things contribute to world food price inflation; eliminate electric car price subsidies, the electricity usually comes from coal fired plants; reform public employee pensions, including AL teachers who get fully vested in 25 years; cut military budgets and get out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and stop being the world's policeman; and similar things until the deficit is reduced somewhat; then limit all budgetary spending increases, including social security, to one half of inflation until the deficit is reduced to three percent of GDP when unemployment is above 6%; when employment is under 5%, allow the budget to be balanced before resuming automatic increases. Easier said than done. Debbi put me up to this.
