You want free health care...right?
You want free college...right?
You want ‘welfare’ increased...right?
You want higher minimum wage...right?
You want more spent on ‘science’...right?
AND you want to extend all of what you want to 12-50 million illegal aliens...right?
Soooo, how do you think this all happens and why do you think our most productive, positive contributors should happily embrace the idea of funding it all?
Okay, let's look at that.
Let's start with the easy one. Health care. The United States currently spends 17% of it's GDP on health care. Meanwhile the other industrialized nations which have universal coverage spend between 8-11%. Lots of people making a lot of money off our current system, and it produces the worst statistics in the industrialized world. So just by going to single payer, we free up 6% or more of GDP to spend on other things.
Next up- Free College- Again, the problem here is that college has become a money making venture. You put a single payer system in place, and you aren't going to see universities spending huge amounts of money on facilities that add nothing to the learning experience, but are just meant as advertisements to attract customers.
So that's actually two areas where doing it the left's way would SAVE money. This isn't complicated, the Europeans have already figured this out. (We could have the discussion about whether everyone needs to go to college later.)
No one wants welfare increased. We'd prefer to have everyone make a living wage on their own. Having a 15/Min wage would do a lot to accomplish that.
Investing in science pays for itself. Economic innovation and technological innovation makes us all better off. We wouldn't HAVE an internet if the government hadn't kicked it off.
as for illegals, nobody has suggested granting amensty to all 11 million of them, most of whom have jobs and are probably more productive than you are, Cleetus.
