The U.S. could solve its unsustainable debt problem today by returning to the progressive income tax system that was in place before the 2017 Republican Tax Law, by eliminating the majority of egregious tax loopholes that benefit only the super-wealthy, and by pausing programs like the Mars Program that are scheduled to cost a half trillion to a trillion just to begin setting up shop to knock on the door.
At the same time, we could solve our anti-democracy problem by following through on what Congress tried to do for a hundred years before the Supreme Court started legislating, by reducing the amount of money in our politics so that we have a government "of" and "by" and "for" the people, where one person only has one vote, and elections can't be purchased by a billionaire using his 44 billion dollar platform and chipping in another $300,000,000 donation for good measure.
Nor should we tolerate this from our elected leaders. Putting a fox in the hen house has never solved any problems for the hens.million/
