Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: I have to pull out the big guns, now. [View all]No one asked Trump how he was going to pay for the tax break (that exploded the deficit).
No one ever asks how we're going to pay for increased military spending or increased military presence in foreign lands.
But as soon as there are policies that might help people instead of corporations. Suddenly the dollar signs are all that anyone can see. Bernie's not going to get everything he wants, there's no way. But if he starts from a position of "This is what I'm fighting for. This is the end result we all deserve!" then there's a good chance he'll get more of it than if he starts at an already compromise position.
