Many progressives aligned behind a single payer proposal that was scored at 450 billion a year. How is that any less dishonest than the nonsense that comes out of Trumps mouth. If the proposal is to give every American cradle to grave government benefits.
Day care, Health Care, retirement, free college , guaranteed jobs, student loan forgiveness and meet the current entitlement obligations there is going to need to be a radical reimagining of our tax and govt revenue system.

Okay, most people don't truly know what x countries "do". Which is a shame as there is much value in learning by others XP. However, we are not a small country; we have a completely diff pol sys. Even if we learn what "they do" we cannot "do it too".
Cut the DOD budget back to 2000 levels. Add individual brackets to the personal income tax tables. Raise the capital gains rate to where it was during St. Reagan’s era. Tax dividends as ordinary income. Tax flash stock transactions. Those are some ideas right there.
