Incentives for billionaires to donate lots of money to not be billionaires Idk exactly what that looks like, maybe super high taxes unless you give x% idk but it has to also be their idea too. Ykwim? Could be anything but I’m not billionaire so idk what they want

We’re not going to confiscate wealth that’s an authoritarian thing but we can start taxing the top more and regulating wealth accumulation while also cutting waste spending on defense and cutting back the mil complex. Clinton was the last president to lower the debt

The real answer is marginal tax increases to the whole tax base, continuing to fund the irs so loopholes can be closed, and cutting spending

Confiscating that kind of wealth would never work. Cutting spending is the way to go

They’re all a start. Other solutions, like devaluing the dollar could pay off all the debt simultaneously, but that only works once, and it has a pretty big downside

It is funny that dissolving social security and Medicaid would not remove the defecit; we’d still owe like a trillion dollars every year
