we deregulated wall street and home ownership, then oversaw the greatest man made economic catastrophe since the great depression.
and you don't even want to consider adjustments to tax policy?
what about just simplifying the tax code and closing loopholes.
also you don't think that having collegiate education would have an impact on the economy? people with degrees make more money. people with more money create more tax revenue. tax revenue pays for the education. this is a no brainer idea. free education makes things better for literally everyone.
