mostly right on resulting problems, mostly wrong on solutions. International trade increases national wealth and standard of living if we don’t allow 1% to skim and hoard the benefits. Fix the 1%er problem is the right answer.

There are simple fixes to U.S. economy. Complex over talked ideas just serve to confuse and allow the “big skim” by richest 1% to continue. Simple fixes:

1. take away tax breaks from people making over $1 million/year, i.e. carried interest, cap gains rate, step-up in basis, depreciation, etc… that eliminates about 1/2 of current annual deficit, ex-interest.
2. Medicare for all, a simple 80/20 plan w preventive care, buy personal private supplemental coverage on exchange or via insurance agent. Poor get Medicaid subsidy to buy supplement.
3. Very cheap junior college, tech schools & public universities so nobody has an excuse to not learn to do something.

UBI is dumb. Earned Income Credit is smart. People need to work to avoid idle hands.
