A small number of incredibly wealthy Americans are ridiculing Bernie Sanders’ base for wanting “free stuff” when the costliest programs are, by far, corporate welfare and entitlements for the top 1 percent. Fox News has been working hard to tear down Sanders’ proposals to provide Medicare for all, institute tuition-free public college, boost infrastructure spending, and expand Social Security.No whining about this massive welfare, huh
The combined cost of these 10 corporate welfare programs is $1.539 trillion per year. The three main programs needy families depend upon — Temporary Assistance for Needy Families ($17.3 billion), food stamps ($74 billion), and the Earned Income Tax Credit ($67.2 billion) — cost just $158.5 billion in total. This means we spend ten times as much on corporate welfare and handouts to the top 1 percent than we do on welfare for working families struggling to make ends meet.

I would agree with no medicare coverage for those making over $1m a year, government matching tuition scholarships for those who manage a 3.8 grade average from accredited universities if they financially qualify. IOW, tuition only if they work and if they annually work and make $20,000 a year, they could get a $20,000 scholarship of they keep grades up. PS..No remedial courses!
