Now is the time to cease all the third rails and just go for it under what should be a fairly nonepartisan agenda -

* Pentagon gets to close bases and programs.
* Taxes back to clinton levels for those indivudually over $250k
* Estate tax starting at $1,000,000
* Bottom up review of Medicare & Medicaid prescribing & treatment.
* Let medicare & medicaid negotiate drug prices
* Reduce overheads and startup costs on small businesses, including creating a federal fund for startups deprived of private capital.

I’ll add a couple more:
* Collect FICA (SSS) on ALL earned income. No caps.
* Have some type of Alternative Minimum Tax on all businesses to eliminate corporations not paying any tax.
