Items to Consider for Balancing the Federal Budget

One might cut defense in cooperation with Russian and Chinese parity if the Ukraine war were concluded. Social security should have a cap on payments to people that don’t need it. I would think that people that can easily afford insurance should get full Medicare. Some retirees that can afford insurance may have Medicare pay $100,000 in a year for some sort of surgery and et. I am for basic income however to end a lot of problems of poverty such as desperation that drives some to commit crimes that ends with a high cost of incarceration at an average of perhaps $60,000 annually. I am for ecological economics though- and no major party candidate has expressed awareness of that. People consider it very radical and implementing it certainly would be experimental. It was reported that the average American having about seven plastic bottlecaps worth of microplastic in their brain it probably is worth it before that increases lol.
