Investing on the education and health of your people, who are essentially generating the wealth in this country, actually has a pretty good roi, as been tested and been successful in a lot of other countries all over the world.
The reason you see it as a fairy tale, is because you have never been outside of the bubble you are living in...
Giving money to government is not an "investment." It's pissing money down the toilet bowl. Government schools don't educate, and government healthcare costs 5 times what it would cost otherwise.
You are not giving to the government tho, you are giving it to the schools to educate the youth of this nation, so they don't become criminals or deadbeats, but educated people who are capable of contributing to the economy of this country, increasing the output, therefore creating wealth for all.
What do you mean by "government schools", you talking about elementary schools or colleges?
I think Sanders talking about tuition free colleges, which are doing pretty well overall, top ranking colleges all over the planet...
Horseshit. You're giving money to the government. To be more accurate, government is taking the money by force. The theory that people wouldn't educate their children if government didn't force them to is an insult to every parent in this country. It has also been disproven by the facts of history. government schools are not an investment. They are suckholes for money that return nothing.
Government schools are where kids turn into criminals and deadbeats.
Yes, government takes the money from you, and invest in educating the young people to be able to provide them a good future, so they are not hopeless deadbeats at the end.
I agree, most parents are concerned with their childrens education, but a lot of them having difficulty to provide it to them. As a nation looking to progress and prosper, it is no brainer to go down the route to invest in knowledge and health of your society.
You can think of this as investing in infrastructure which will bring growth and wealth as an roi for the country.
And seems like American people buying into this too, he might WIN, especially against Trump, if he could make it of course
