end NAFTA and all other free trade agreements.

create manufacturing jobs.

make it impossible for an able-bodied American to live off of the government, **BUT** fund improvements to put us on the path to a “great society” (i.e. universal health-care, affordable university/vocational schooling, etc…)

etc.
