So the "wars" will save us a hundred billion a year. Yippee.
Tax cuts will save a hundred billion a year. Yippee.
Medicare for all........paid for with what??
Trade agreements renegotiated? Um how does that save billions?
New deal building bridges and roads.........what about the stimulous that was supposed to do that.
Kuccinich needs to just shut up and thank the lord a guy that looks like that has such a good looking wife.
I don't know about you, but every paycheck I receive has a Medicare tax deduction along with a Social Security deduction. I assumed that all of the millions of people paying into this fund will be able to access it at some point. The Repubs are frothing at the mouth to steal the money I put into these funds, while ignoring the trillions that could be saved by ending the stupid wars and the excess miltary spending.
let's see the current budget (for the last 3 years and PROJECTED for the next 10 year has a 1 trillion deficit PER YEAR
so let's do the math 1 trillion, times 10, equals 10 trillion NEW DEBT, on top of the 15 trillion current debt
stop the wars...save 1 trillion OVER TEN YEARS...or 100 billion a year
repeal the tax cuts (FOR ALL)...save 900 billion over 10 years.....
still SHORT by 8 trillion (not counting the current debt)
medicare for all...the cost...2-5 trilllin A YEAR....or 20-50 trillion over ten years
the math falls way short
kucinich was never any good at math.

you mean the democrats are frothing at the mouth to steal these funds, dont you? the reality is that both parties have been raiding social security and medicare to pay for crap spending programs, the difference here is that the republicans are starting to see the light and want to SAVE medicare and social security, not kill them.

I trust and like Kucinich waaaaaayyyyy more than our douchebag-in-chief. That's not to say that I'd vote for him; it just indicates how much I can't stand what's-his-face.
