In keeping with the thread title I will respond. Democrats aren't proposing an unlimited amount of money. They are proposing spending an enormous amount of money while funding it through taxation of the higher incomes.In keeping with the thread title, do you believe that the democrats can spend an unlimited amount of money on every conceivable policy or program, without any consequences? And I'm asking any other progressive liberal to join in, and please provide your rationale. I know of no credible economist who will champion that idea; sure, you can say that increased demand will generate economic growth, but is there no law of diminishing returns where at some point the amount of money in the system dwarfs the supply of goods and services? I.E., inflation destroys everything? Or do you propose an ever increasing tax and spend policy, borrowing more money into infinity? Do you believe that there will always be somebody somewhere who will finance our debt?
And here is maybe the biggest question: are you prepared to accept the consequences if you are wrong? My answer: I don't think so. Do you realize that the decisions that are made today will have an impact in the future? Is there any limit to the amount of debt you are willing to pass onto the next generations?
It would be in essence a shift of wealth closing the wealth gap. I know that they are probably wrong or lying to what degree the expense would cover the cost, but I honestly don't see any difference between that and claiming tax cuts worth trillions will be covered by companies trickling down the wealth.
Where I do see a difference in both positions is that Democrats at least give the money directly to poorer people instead of a vague promise that the tax cuts will benefit them down the line.
