Getting money out of politics is a necessity.
About universal healthcare, free college & cancelling college loans, many ask how we can pay for it. We begin by repealing huge tax cuts to richest individuals & corps, plus absurd subsidies. $27B last year to fossil fuel companies?! Amazon made $100B & paid 0 in federal taxes?!

Congress should pass legislation establishing public funding for federal elections.

If you want to go toe-to-toe with Elizabeth Warren you will lose with both of you showing you don't understand how taxes work, how businesses work, and how the international economy works. You are not guaranteed a spot on the debate podium. This sort of post may keep you off it.

If only I knew how taxes work, businesses work & the international economy works. Since 12,000 people starve in the world each day, 1% of Americans own more wealth than the bottom 90%, & the planet itself is in peril, I am very eager to understand how to perpetuate that system.

Why does no one ever question the defense budget? Almost all of our tax dollars go to the war machine without any discussion.

If people are still asking how we pay for it then I am at a loss. How did we pay for the trillions in wars and tax breaks? Who is still asking this question?

Agreed. Isn't that the question that should be in question. Who brainwashed America to think there is no money? Where did THAT thinking come from?

Canceling student loans sounds nice but what about people who just paid theirs off? It just seems a little unfair...

God, for a moment I thought you were going to say cut the ‘defence’ budget.

We also cut the military budget. It canNOT continue to grow at the rate it has. Times have changed as well. We need more cyber security than a dozen tanks.
