Pete Buttigieg calls 'Medicare for All' and free college plans 'questionable on their merits'

78. There are lofty goals, and then there is pie in the sky.

In order to be taken seriously, a plan must be achievable. It's an activist plan, not a legislative plan. Activist plans are pie in the sky, rev up their base, but are not really things that are realistic or feasible.

Please draw up your plans, complete with a timeline and cost, and submit it to the govt. Only then will you see that this "plan" is a child's wish list and not related to reality.

Being positive that there is a tooth fairy doesn't make tooth fairy existence more likely.

By the time you completed updating a fraction of existing buildings, it would take so long and be such an enormous project, that it would be time to condemn and demolish some of the buildings.

It's not feasible. And there are far better use of those trillions of dollars than that, even if it could be done. Which it can't.

What can be done is require a higher standard for all new buildings. And that would cause the real estate market to bust, as increased building costs decimate the real estate market and make home ownership even less likely than it is now.

Legislators know these are difficult issues and will take difficult solutions, which include a consensus and feasible plan with verifiable results, and cost estimates that are preferably paid for in some way. Activists don't concern themselves with such things, which is why this plan is an activist plan rather than a realistic legislative plan.
