29. Neither Sanders nor Warren explain how all these great policies including MFA

Sep 2019

will be paid for and implemented. I don't see it happening anytime soon. But we can start small with infrastructure, repeal tax cut...fix the ACA if we get the Senate and keep the house...and of course win the presidency.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Colbert called out Warren over her consistent refusal to say whether middle-class will increase Gothmog Sep 2019 #1

She is right to reject the RW gotcha framing of "will taxes go up?" Fiendish Thingy Sep 2019 #3

Yep customerserviceguy Sep 2019 #57

Societal savings are not tax revenues and not pay for Warren's program Gothmog Sep 2019 #66

This!! As long as she evades the answer of cost there are going to be objections. Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #26
