Reform policies enriching billionaires COLLECTING INTEREST on a swelling federal debt largely created by tax cuts benefiting them.
Putting an end to public debt profiteering is a solution to reform how government borrowing and taxation work so public debt no longer becomes a source of private gain for those who contribute the least to public revenue. Today, tax cuts and loopholes disproportionately benefit the wealthy, often increasing deficits that are then financed through government borrowing—paying interest largely to wealthy investors and institutions. This solution focuses on rebalancing tax policy, closing loopholes, and reducing reliance on debt structures that reward rent-seeking, so public borrowing serves the public good rather than enriching a narrow group at everyone else’s expense.
Shift more public debt ownership toward public banks and transparent institutions that prioritize long-term stability over short-term profit.
Limit predatory interest rates on government borrowing so public funds support communities instead of enriching lenders.
Require full disclosure of who profits from public debt and under what conditions, so citizens can see where tax dollars actually go.
Ensure public borrowing is structured to fund infrastructure, healthcare, and education—not speculative financial gains.
