- "Shift from pampering insurance companies to promoting regional health co-ops," "reduce the power of commercial banks" and "cancel college student debt"
- "Enact a progressive income tax"
- "Shift resources from prisons to education" while pursuing curriculum reform and "require that public education be nonprofit"
