SHORT-TERM RELIEF
Provide an immediate energy rebate to offset high prices of gas and other necessities. Devote $50 billion to “jumpstarting the economy, helping economic growth, and preventing another one million jobs from being lost,” including assistance to states and localities to prevent them from having to cut their vital services.
Repeal the Bush tax cuts for families making more than $250,000. Provide additional tax cuts for middle class families.
Shut down “special interest loopholes and tax shelters” and use the money to “provide an immediate middle-class tax cut.”
Eliminate federal income tax for seniors making less than $50,000
Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit
“Dramatically simplify tax filings so that millions of Americans can do their taxes in less than five minutes”
One Example => 2011 Obama Gives G.E. Green-light In Paying No Taxes For The $5.1 Billion In Profits: Worst Bailout In U.S. History, G.E. Received $182.5 Billion In Obama Buddy Bailout.
HOUSING CRISIS
Ensure that the foreclosure prevention program enacted by Congress is implemented “quickly and effectively so that at-risk homeowners can get help and hopefully stay in their homes.” (The measure includes a plan to help troubled borrowers avoid foreclosure by refinancing their mortgages with more affordable government-insured loans.) Reform bankruptcy laws.
End tax breaks for companies that ship American jobs overseas and provide incentives for companies that keep and maintain good jobs in the United States. Invest in advanced energy technologies and create “millions of new, good ‘Green Collar’ American jobs.”

BUDGET AND APPROPRIATIONS
Enforce pay-as-you-go budgeting rules. Honor these rules by ending Iraq war, eliminating waste in existing government programs, generating revenue by charging polluters for releasing greenhouse gases and ending “special interest driven corporate loopholes and tax cuts for the wealthy.” Put all non emergency bills, passed by Congress, online for five days, to allow the public to review and comment on them before they are signed into law. Publish searchable, online information about federal grants, contracts, earmarks, loans, and lobbyist contacts with government officials.
All Americans should have coverage they can afford. Families and individuals should have the option of keeping the coverage they have or choosing from a wide array of health insurance plans, including many private health insurance options and a public plan. Coverage should be made affordable for all Americans with subsidies provided through tax credits and other means. Insurance should be portable from job to job.
Strengthen Medicare by cutting costs and protecting seniors from fraud. Fix Medicare’s prescription drug program: “Repeal the prohibition on negotiating prescription drug prices, ban drug companies from paying generic producers to refrain from entering drug markets, and eliminate drug company interference with generic competition.” Phase-out the cap on Medicaid funding and phase-in equal participation in other federal health care assistance programs. Provide Medicaid to more low-income HIV-positive Americans.
Automatically enroll every worker in a workplace pension plan that can be carried from job to job and match savings for low-income working families. Ask those making over $250,000 “to pay a bit more” in payroll taxes for Social Security. (Currently, only income up to $102,000 is subject to the payroll tax).
Reduce oil consumption by at least 35 percent, or ten million barrels per day, by 2030. “We can’t drill our way to energy independence … we must invest in research and development, and deployment of renewable energy technologies—such as solar, wind, geothermal, as well as technologies to store energy through advanced batteries and clean up our coal plants.” Commit to fast-track investment of billions of dollars over the next ten years to establish a green energy sector. Stand up to “oil companies that spend hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbying and political contributions.”
“Implement a market-based cap and trade system to reduce carbon emissions by the amount scientists say is necessary to avoid catastrophic change and we will set interim targets along the way to ensure that we meet our goal.”
Reach out to the leaders of the biggest carbon emitting nations and ask them to join a new Global Energy Forum. “We need a global response to climate change that includes binding and enforceable commitments to reducing emissions, especially for those that pollute the most: the United States, China, India, the European Union, and Russia.”
Bring the war to a “responsible end”. Withdraw combat brigades at the pace of one to two per month and complete redeployment within sixteen months. Keep a residual force in Iraq to target terrorists, protect American personnel and support Iraq’s Security Forces, “provided the Iraqis make political progress.”
Send at least two additional combat brigades and seek greater contributions from NATO allies. Build special forces and intelligence capacity; train, equip and advise Afghan security forces; and build Afghan governmental capacity. Help grow Afghanistan’s economy “from the bottom up, with an additional $1 billion in non-military assistance each year.”
Prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapon with “tougher sanctions and aggressive, principled, and direct high-level diplomacy, without preconditions.” “By going the extra diplomatic mile, while keeping all options on the table, we make it more likely the rest of the world will stand with us to increase pressure on Iran, if diplomacy is failing.”
Support “constitutional protections and judicial oversight on any surveillance program involving Americans.” Review the current Administration’s warrantless wiretapping program: “We reject illegal wiretapping of American citizens, wherever they live.” (Senator Barack Obama voted for a 2008 bill that expanded & overhauled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and expanded the government’s surveillance power).
Close the detention camp in Guantanamo Bay. “We will not ship away prisoners in the dead of night to be tortured in far off countries, or detain without trial or charge prisoners who can and should be brought to justice for their crimes, or maintain a network of secret prisons to jail people beyond the reach of the law.”
Require those “living here illegally but otherwise playing by the rule” to “get right with the law.” Support a system that requires undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, pay taxes, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens.
Increase the number of immigration visas for family members of people living here and for immigrants who meet the demand for jobs that employers cannot fill, as long as appropriate labor market protections and standards are in place.
Crack down on employers who hire undocumented immigrants. Establish an employer verification system that is “accurate, fair to legal workers, safeguards people’s privacy, and cannot be used to discriminate against workers.”
Support additional personnel, infrastructure, and technology on the border and at ports of entry. Increase the number Customs and Border Protection agents and equip them with “better technology and real-time intelligence.”
