I’m not Ted, but I would have:
Used trumps tactic for making trade deals on us corps. Smack them in the nose with huge and immediate tax increases and then say, “let’s negotiate! Repatriate that money and then we’ll cut your taxes back down below what they were, a little “
Give big, permanent tax cuts to small businesses. This latest tax bill is an insult to people who have risked everything to start a business. Incentivize entrepreneurship and innovation through a tax code that favors small risk takers over corporate giants.
Be VERY selective about eliminating regulations. Letting predatory lenders get away with ruining lives in the name of fewer regulations only helps the predators.
Raise the age of eligibility for social security.
Spend less on the military and more on infrastructure, which will produce long term efficiency gains.
Finally - universal health insurance. Yes, Medicare for all. Our system of paying for health car was stifling growth before the ACA and its only marginally better now.
