Warren’s pricey 2020 platform of Green New Deal, reparations, free childcare + more could top $100T

[UsualName]

Bullshit from the deluded right wing, again. That number was pulled out of thin air by a conservative think tank and even they disavow the number.

So of course, Fox News and their drooling viewers run with it.

It doesn’t matter what the number is. Trump promised to balance the budget in 2 years and give everyone great healthcare.

This is what democrats are competing against. Their goal is to get to Trump, who will be in no position to say their policies are unrealistic.

Corey Booker will be promising free cable tv that Canada will pay for before the end of this.

Get ready for bigger promises going nowhere.

I’ve been telling you guys this. Democrats have to compete against a guy who promised to build a 30 foot high, 1600 mile boarder wall from sea to sea THAT MEXICO WOULD PAY FOR.

The absurdity of political promises going into this election will become ridiculous.

This past election showed that, although it happened often in the past, it is now more than acceptable to promise whatever you want as long as it gets your base riled up for the moment and when you actually got the job, you can tell the base "Fuck You" and lie and deflect.

"No new taxes..."
"You can keep your doctor..."
"Mexico will pay for the wall..."
"winning...."

The difference between then and now is your promises can now be even more outlandish and ridiculous because people just want to chant a slogan. Bush Sr. got reamed for his tax quote. Obama's comment was the rallying call for conservatives to abolish Obama care. Trump? Where is the uproar or call out? Anne Coulter is the only one with a voice? That is sad.

The fact that it does not exists means there is a new playbook that we as voters caused ourselves. Watch the Dems make the same level of ridiculous promises. The problem is the Dems promises are all far left and do nothing to address real problems....

The difference is that Trump was addressing a real and growing problem that voters were demanding a solution for. Of course, he(and Jared) managed to make it worse. Not many people are clamoring for the idiotic stuff Warren is offering.

A growing sentiment among the alt right is, if we are going to lose our country anyway, we'll take the $1000. It's more than Trump is offering us.

He was offering solutions that were backed by fake promises and fantasy. Warren is using the same playbook unfortunately but all it does is make people happy who were already going to vote for her if she was a candidate. Useless.

Trump went way overboard just to hear people chanting his name.

People wanted a wall and he stoked the immigrant fears and promised Mexico would pay for it.

He claimed he would have companies moving back to the U.S. to open plants and give them jobs -opposite keeps happening.

He promised no more deficits but his spending rivals Democrats.

All you have to do is figure out what promises get people wet and forget about having to deliver once you get the job.

I think that thousand dollar bill with Yang’s picture on it pretty much sums up where this election is going.

 

[AAAintheBeltway]

No one ever asks where the money is coming from when the neo-cons want to start another war. It's only when it's something that could actually help us, like a wall or veteran's health care, that it's a big problem. Republicans seem to think we are not wise to that.

 

[hitthequan1]

i wager the bulk of the complainers arent complaining about Trumps continued deficit spending.

I fully support the IDEA of making sure eveyr child has access to healthcare and is enrolled in pre-k because it will esnure that all children get the best start healthwise and educationally to become successful. A good early educational environment has untold benefits for that child to succeed in the next stages of education and will lift the entire country. Studies have shown in other countries where a smarter and better educated population of children leads to better educated adults overall - i.e. more skilled and qualified to enter the workforce at any level (blue and white collar).


Lower and middle class struggles and dumbfuckedness can be ameliorated significantly if the problems are attacked early on at the 3-13 age group. Not talking socialism, just a stronger foundation of health care and education for the young age group. Means less financial support and healthcare issues for the adult population.

But the proposals to pay for it is where politicians show they are truly in fantasy land....

You commie! You're taking the food from the mouths of the children of those making a living by privatizing education.
