What would I run on?

A variation of the Simpson Bowles bi partisan debt committee recomendations that included removing credits and deducations as well as lowering both the corporatate tax rate and individual tax rates that would broaden the tax bases and generate more revenue. That in turn would spur private sector investment which creates more jobs. And that is the tip of the iceberg.

I would than run on putting the ACA on hiatus until we can figure out just exactly how many americans did not have insurance because they could not afford it. Throw out the numbers for illegals, throw out the numbers for those who did not have it because they could afford not to, and throw out those who had major medical and could afford to pay out of pocket. Reduce the restrictions on MRLs back to what each state put in place for the insurance companies. And get rid of government mandated coverage.

I would run on allowing young workers to control 5-7% of their social security taxes into the same type accounts that government employees use for their retirement funds with the oprion of remaining in traditional SS. Before responding I sugges you research that. Then raise the SS retirement age to 69 OVER A PERIOD OF 40 years. A little every few years. Upon retirement those who choose to invest in the very restrictive retirement accounts would would receive a prorated SS check that equaled the % they invested.

Now that's a start shinty the exempt one. Do you have anything besides manufactured issues that are nothing but **** bumpersticker talking points? Details asshole, details.
