I can see the point @SteveSchmidtSES was making. These have a high appeal but low chance of success, but does that mean these aren’t ideals that should be considered?pic.twitter.com/3TUhrigbFb

I think that’s right Steve. If you look at
#Seattle and how we tried to reach this and what has happened you have a perfect test case. However, I do think there are principles here that are worth embracing to include giving marginalized voters a voice.
Of course. When 40 percent don’t have $ 400 and there has been no wage growth in 25 years we have a problem big enough to stabilize our political system. My point isn’t to question the good intentions of people who have a progressive solution it is to ask how can we pay for it

Well, we (the people) know that tax cuts for the wealthy and almost a Trillion a year in defense spending isn’t the way to do it.

That is the million dollar question and it is the similarity to Trumps promises “bring coal back” and “fix trade.” But isn’t that politics? Populism vs practicality?

China, literally spends about 25% of what we spend on their military and I am pretty convinced they are getting a much better bang for their buck

We never worry how to pay for locking up brown and disabled people. Never worry about how to pay for dropping bombs on weddings, or for ten thousand tanks which we mothball in Nevada. Never worry about all the early funerals from lack of healthcare. FOH.

THERE is my conservative!!!! Ahhh, a walk down memory lane... Both sides agree it's a good idea, but we want to pay for it, and if possible, have the states do it... and both sides would debate policy, then vote without a majority check 1st!pic.twitter.com/JZtTRnSrpo

Corporate tax loopholes. Close them. Off shore corporate headquarters to avoid taxes. Close them. Tax the .01%, who make INSANE amounts of money, a much higher rate. Require tech companies to fund technology training schools instead of relying on foreign workers. There are ways.

Absolutely! This is what needs to be brought forefront and center... the Wall Street Tax alone would fund a large portion. Bring back spending in infrastructure, as workers have money to spend it goes back into the tax coffers. This is not a hard fight if framed correctly.
