President Trump's tax cuts are about 3% of the size of Democratic spending spree proposed and Barack Obama's stimulus was 1% of the size of the Democrats proposed spending plans.

This is just over the short-time, next decade or so they are planning on this spending spree.

Amazing how the party fixated on academia, doesn't even do the math on all their proposed schemes. Who is going to buy all this debt? Do they plan on bloating the federal reserve balance sheet to pay for all these special interests?

$10 trillion for climate change from Kamala Harris, $1.9 trillion to address student loans and college costs from Elizabeth Warren, $2.5 trillion for tax credits from Corey Booker

Bernie Sanders health plan is estimated to cost from $28 to $36 trillion and that is until 2026

The problem is that people like the affluent liberals posting here - who consider themselves middle class at $300,000 HHI - think that if these giveaway programs are to be implemented, it will be the "rich" who pay the freight. What would actually happen is that tax increases would have to reach down very low - to the actual middle class earning $50k - and people would find themselves buckling under the tax burden, ramping down on spending, and causing the economy to grind to a halt.

They say you have to spend money to make money. The Democrats clearly got the memo.

You've conflated Conservatives with Republicans. Rookie mistake.
