Easy, I would make outsourcing a capital offense, close all of the tax loopholes, raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans, withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan, cut the military budget, stop the importation of junk from China, and most importantly, re-industrialize the country. I would do a lot more things, but these came to mind first.
For 40 years [the report spans 1933-1973], freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency.
Do not believe me - go read the law, and the declarations and the executive orders empowered by the "emergency".
Lawful money = gold / silver coin (aka real money)
Money = lawful money or currency (i.e., certificates which are receipts for real money in the vault)
Notes are not money, by law
Since 1933, there has been NO MONEY. What we have been using as "legal tender" are worthless notes, underwritten by the fraud of "voluntary" participation in FICA / Socialist InSecurity. And if it wasn't in print, in every county courthouse law library, one might dismiss this as total heifer dung.
GO READ THE LAW. Do something that even Congress won't do - read the law they enact.
They're exercising authority by deception and deceit, and use the world's greatest propaganda ministry to keep you distracted.
I'm sure this doesn't matter to you but you are factually incorrect.
Oh, it does matter much to me, and I have studied this issue for almost 30 years. I remember back when JFK cut the tax rates, (top went from 90 to 23%), and revenues increased dramatically on the greatly-expanded economy. Ronald Reagan did the same thing with same result.
We already have 47% of tax filers paying 0 or less (get tax credits from other taxpayers). Flat earthers (as your words appear to define you as) don't get that the wealthy respond when you try to rape them. They take their money and goes elsewhere, or just sit on it. Funny thing, when you shoot at people (literally or figuratively), most of them get out of the way and take cover. This is a lesson the regressives aka "progressives" never learn.
Jack up income taxes on the rich (over $250,000 per year). Institute a national 18.9% sales tax (food, medicine and clothing would be exempt). Cut defense spending by 25%. Cut Congressional pay by 20%. End the Iraq war immediately. Plain to pull out of the Afghanistan war over the next two years.
Send more money to states for education, start a government-run, single-payer universal healthcare program and make (public) college free for all Americans. Extend unemployment benefits for displaced workers and develop a new, temporary social safety net for those who can't find jobs.
Here are the income tax rates I'd apply to the wealthy:
$250,000 to $500,000 -- 45%
$500,000 to $1,000,000 -- 50%
$1,000,000 to $2,000,000 -- 60%
$2,000,000 to $5,000,000 -- 70%
$5,000,000 to $10,000,000 -- 75%
$10,000,000 to $20,000,000 -- 80%
$20,000,000 to $50,000,000 -- 90%
Over $50,000,000 -- 95%
If you did this, revenue to the government would come to a standstill as the wealthy would run their money offshore, or tax-free muni's. The health of the American people would suffer tremendously as the greatest health-care system in the world crumbled under the debilitating effect of "single payer".
Flat-earth thinking at it's very worst seems to drive your proposal.
Easy, I would make outsourcing a capital offense, close all of the tax loopholes, raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans, withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan, cut the military budget, stop the importation of junk from China, and most importantly, re-industrialize the country.

If you did that, you would ignite a tradewar that would send us spiraling into the second tariff-caused great depression. Do you guys study history at all? Look up Smoot and Hawley and their wonderful tariff.

It also gives people an incentive to take care of their bodies and not wear them out so they have to be supported by the taxpayer from an early age.
People who lose their job at 62 - like my mom- or who are forcibly retired can easily transition back into the workforce at the same pay as someone who is say, 20 years old. Amiright or amiright? Eh? Eh?
That's why she took early Social Security. BTW, no one in my family - ever - has lived to 70. The only thing we don't get (and hopefully never do) is Alzheimers. Cancer, heart disease, diabetees, etc. I hate filling out those doctor sheets with "Does your family have a history of XXXX" and when I get done, it looks like my pen just exploded.
