Free Tuition - How Progressives Win

[PsychoBabble]

2. Republicans are always talking about ...

... Tax cuts and misc. other forms of SLEFISHNESS/GREED as the way to stimulate the economic engine ... though, as of yet, with decades of trying, we haven't seen the evidence of this trickle down theory consistently succeeding.

So ... WHAT IF EVERY STATE IN THE USA OFFERED FREE TUITION ... AND FREE HEALTH CARE?

How would THIS impact the economy? How many people would be spared economic disaster, and then becoming a further econmic burden on the public?

How many small businesses would start, and thrive, because entrepreneurs could take the leap without fear of personal economic disaster beyond their start-up capital -- and when they would not be ALSO rolling the dice on their family's health by choosing to start a business?

YET -- have we as Progressives SOLD this idea in any significant way to the American public?

Not really ...

In the Bill Clinton years (for all of his charisma), we started chasing "GOP light" principles, and it has gotten us NOTHING.

NOTHING.

NOTHING.

It is time for something different.
