(8,148 posts)investment in canceling 95% student debt, free college, 50 billion to Black colleges, 200 billion to
opioid epidemic, universal childcare, affordable housing, healthcare for all undocumented people,
military housing...
It is not a question merely of whether or not these programs should have priority over investment
in existing ones or how much money to spend, but that the impression non-progressives will form is that Warren is a tax and spend candidate.
I wish she would moderate her positions. We can go a long way to lightening the student debt
burden without total amnesty. Meanwhile, foreclosures across the nation show evidence that families, and seniors too, are plowed under in mortgage and property tax debt.
Opioid addiction treatment is covered under both Medicaid and Medicare. So expand on that, but
200 billion?
Honestly, every candidate will have some uphill slog over a vote, a bad story, being too old or too young, but Warren s will be thispromising a policy in every pot and managing to convince
Americans that these policies should have priority, that these are the only way to go, that all this
would not raise taxes substantially.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
