1. UBI (Replacing 50% of current transfer programs)
2. "Rentier Capitalist" Tax (Use classical economic definition of "rents" and tax income falling within that category at 25%)
3. Undo all Trump immigration constraints and create incentives for highly skilled immigrants to move to economically challenged areas where they can aid development. Trumpkins won't like this at first, but it will help them.
4. Transparency. Tell the nation exactly what the CIA and DOD have forecast regarding the impact of automation and globalization. Tell these fourth generation coal miners in WV it's time to move the kids in with the cousins in the cities, and not raise another hopeless generation beholden to a dying industry.
5. Single payer
6. New New Deal. Create a massive infrastructure bank to contribute to infrastructure spending with state, local, and private partners. End the grants and force the locals to find creative, more cost-effective ways to deliver more projects. Mandate prevailing union wage on all projects into which the bank lends.
7. Make fed-backed student loans 50% dischargeable in bankruptcy. Make private student loans 100% dischargeable.
8. In the case of fed backed student loans, allow feds to clawback full amount of loan from institution where any borrower defaults for in excess of 180 days within five years of graduation.
9. Increase capital gains rate to something near parity with labor.
10. Slap a punitive (35-50%) tax on coporations paying CEOs in excess of a certain ratio in relation to average worker.
11. Repeal McCarran Ferguson and let insurers compete nationally.
That's a start.
