Dean Bakers budget talk

Ways to come up with money for our Government
1. Break up large banks who can now borrow at zero interest rate. How can anyone else compete.
2.Big Pharma's patent laws means we spend 300 billion a year on drugs that should cost 30b.
3.Give medicare vouchers with option of purchasing European healthcare.
4. Government should rewrite the rules of CEO's with the same furver they are attacking union workers.
5. Reign in military spending.
