My personal vote for what I would most like to see our government do: cut defense spending 5%. Just 5%. It's 55% of the Federal budget as it is. Just 5% and we could restore the NEA and public media funding and create some infrastructure and green jobs. I'm not asking for the moon (we aren't funding NASA anymore in the first place). Just 5%.
But there are other things they could do -- like tax the rich or corporations more. Or lower oil company subsidies (God knows they don't deserve higher ones after what they did to the Gulf of Mexico, which essentially destroyed business and real estate on those coasts). Or make our bloated health care system contribute more.
What is the one thing YOU'd like to see the government do? It's your call...
