Americans spend a lot of time arguing over federal spending. 'We the Economy' film breaks down how your tax dollars are spent.

1. Cut a chunk of the military spending . . .

and switch it to infrastructure and you boost the economy with the jobs created while going a ways towards ending the endless wars we are always in.

Duh! Let's get going with this. The MIC and the 1% who sponsor these wars have gorged themselves long enough at the government trough.

Also make sure Social Security is solvent by upping the deduction ceiling on income and adequately fund Medicare and Medicaid.

Creating jobs with infrastructure spending is a sure fire way to get the economy going. The Eisenhower administration showed the way to do it in the 50s with the building of the interstate highway system. We should do the same now with high-speed rail and infusions of maintenance funds for our roads, bridges, power grid, water mains, etc. — some of the very ones built in the 50s.
