Seems like the proposed welfare expansion proposals are coming fast and often

So far, $999 billion for affordable housing, free and drastically reduced childcare plan, medicare for all, free public university and a $500 each month to families.

Wonder what new programs will come up with? Deficits are due to drastically increase with no new expansions to any program over the next decade.

Basically at the present time, the government brings in just enough for mandatory spending and a vast majority of non-mandatory spending is paid for by running up the debt

I guess the 3.2 million housing units for $999 billion would be around $300,000 per unit.

Supposedly, the new supply would reduce rents an average of 10% from higher vacancy rates.

So far it seems like for 2020 Democrats are proposing

Future generations are going to hate us for sticking the bill to them. But we're talking about democrats. They could give a rats ass about the future, or future generations. Just look at what they do to babies in the womb...

Yes, socialism was always part of the platform. They just have to wait for the right time to fully disclose their position. Their intent is for socialism to creep up on us. First a little, then when the time is right, all at once. That's why they started with closet socialist Obama, and now they are testing a few full fledged socialists/commies. If democrats see promise, they will break out the hammer and sickle and begin ramming socialism down the throats of the 75% that would never go along with it.

Yeah, just like Onama's "you'll save $2,500.00 a year and you will be able to keep your doctor." What a line of BS!!!
