• Classical Education

  Vega advocates for reinstituting classical education, emphasizing its importance in his own political development.

• Medicare for All

  Vega supports a universal single-payer national health insurance system, but argues the U.S. healthcare system must first be rebuilt by increasing hospital beds to meet Hill-Burton Act standards, reducing administrative costs, and increasing medical personnel.

• Immigration Reform

  Vega supports a robust immigration reform that provides residency and temporary work visas for immigrants, particularly from Mexico, and opposes current ICE deportation policies. He advocates for an international program that promotes economic development for all nations.

Issues Jose is raising that aren't a shared debate across the field.

• Economic Policy

  Vega's economic approach is based on Lyndon LaRouche's Four Laws for economic recovery and development, focusing on reindustrialization and national infrastructure rebuilding.

• Peace Through Development

  Vega calls for an end to post-9/11 U.S. military interventions, opposes the genocide in Gaza, and advocates for a foreign policy based on partnership with nations like those in BRICS+, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and ASEAN, focusing on economic development rather than empire-building.

• Space CCC and Infrastructure

  Vega proposes a modern Civilian Conservation Corps (Space CCC) to rebuild the Bronx and the U.S. through massive infrastructure projects, including nuclear power plants, high-speed rail, hospitals, schools, and space exploration, while providing youth with education and vocational training.

• Abolish NATO

  Vega argues that the U.S. missed the chance to abolish NATO after the Cold War and now advocates for its dissolution, proposing a new security and development architecture instead.
