FWIW, it's very possible to think this is a terribly irresponsible scheme & still support increased tax rates for the wealthy. There's a *lot* of territory between Trump's tax cuts and the Sanders/Warren tax plans. There are many more reasonable people on both the left & right
As far as I go — I think the US needs to practice much greater fiscal responsibility, not only re: spending but also in how it regulates consumer markets for e.g. healthcare, education, & financing for both. But I also agree with the left that our safety net is far too narrow.
What we need are politicians willing to empower the rare experts who deeply understand the labyrinthian healthcare & education systems we've created, who can overcome bias to see where costs have been allowed to bloat & who will be doggedly honest in their assessments & proposals
There's also a ton of object-level work that needs to be done re: re-aligning the safety net — for example, clarifying *precisely* what we're trying to accomplish with disability & figuring out ways to allow disabled people to do limited work/volunteering without losing benefits
but I'm sympathetic to the folks who think gov involvement just warps the incentives of communities that would otherwise take care of each other just fine, & I'm sympathetic to those who've been struggling for so long that they just want someone to really commit to their problems
