Lefties will say anything to get elected, and this latest stunt from Fauxcahontas backs that up. She will still lose, and that stupid proposal will never take off.

Wonder how many goodies they are going to propose between now and election time.,

We can add universal childcare onto medicare for all and $500 prize each month to Democratic proposals.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/12/kama...e-incomes.html

So far, Kamala is proposing a $500 gift a month for families and Warren is proposing universal childcare that is free for families who make less than $50,000 and no more than 7% of income for those above $50,000

They have also proposed Medicare for All but there is no viable way to pay for it, so they want people to trust them that they know what they are doing.

Europe has all of this stuff. We don't have any of it.

What a dingbat she is. Deprived genuine Native American to get into UPenn and Harvard and rise up the teaching ranks and now feels others have to fork out money for her harebrained views.


Who is going to determine the wealth status of someone to know they are over $50M and then ask them to pay that tax. And the democrats want this woman instead of a center-left like Amy Klobuchar.

Then you pay for it. Stupid People who breed when they can’t afford them are not my problem.

Of course if jobs were required to pay livable wages it would be possible for one of the parents to not work as an option and care for the child when it's young as was done in the past when a single job could provide a middle class lifestyle. At some point this nation needs to make a decision that there are more important things than money for the wealthy and working endless hours.

My husband and I worked opposite shifts so one of us was with our kids instead of a stranger until they went to school. A will and a way.
