Am i using the conditional tense correctly?
I am trying to answer a question of what i would do as president of the US using the conditional tense. Is this correct usage?
As president of the United States I would raise minimum wage. I would reset our country’s priorities to help alleviate domestic poverty and hunger. I would provide funding to education so it could thrive. I would cut the salary of Congress. I would also raise the salary for deployed soldiers and put more money into Social Security.
Como presidente de los Estados Unidos me aumentaría el salario mínimo. Me restablecería las prioridades de nuestro país para ayudar a aliviar la pobreza doméstica y el hambre. Me proporcionaría fondos a la educación para que pudiera prosperar. Me reduciría el sueldo del Congreso . También me gustaría aumentaría el salario de los soldados desplegados y poner más dinero en la Seguridad Social

There is one recurring error--the use of "me" Me means "myself" and is used reflexively, if you know what that means. For example the first sentence would mean I would raise MY minimum salary (for myself)
In order to know exactly what you mean, please provide the English version. In your profile you state that you are a beginner. That could include anything up to a full semester of college Spanish. There are what seem to be other errors, but I can't be sure until I see the English version.
There are some errors for which I don't need to see the English, like in the sentence "También me gustaría aumentaría el salario------" After "me gustaría you need the infinitive "aumentar." Me gustaría aumentar el salario de los soldados-----etc."
You don't have to put up a whole new question. Just hit the "edit" button and add the English to your original post.
We'll be waiting.
Edit.
I've copied your post and will make changes in bold.

(I didn't get all the changes in bold, but had to quit right away because company came over and I've got to go. I'll be back and make changes if necessary.)
