Seems like another vow for votes. This time trying to appeal to swing-voters who are on Social Security for some votes.

Even though a good percentage of people on SS don't need the extra $200, many do. Even though it's yet another deficit increaser, it is still more appealing and moderate than free child care, free college and waving a magic wand and doing away with student loans.

I think it's odd that her "wealth tax" is promising to pay for multiple things would it only cover one of her program expansions.

Program expansions like this should be required to be offset by equal reductions elsewhere.

I would have no problem if they would do this but they should make equal reductions to section 8 for families, TANF, EBT and Head Start.

I am good with that. We can take the $150 billion off of the military budget since obviously they don't need it with Trump stealing money from it.

LOL Mrs. Claus is coming to town...

If she wins, watch how fast that proposal morphs into up to $200/month-- if you "need" it.

The federal government is supposed to guard our borders, but they should not be running Ponzi schemes.

I know, "But I need a nanny to take care of me!"

typical conservative
Should the government tax you a 50% "help others" tax, or are you selfish?

Yep, politicians love to use our money to bribe their way into office.

Cut government spending, control and power and reduce this abuse.

Railroad retirement instead.
Also a big enough trust fund for a train engineer to fly jets.

Edit: Forgot. Terrible idea by Warren for logistical and financial reasons.

Seniors are among the poorest in the country with many of them living in terrible conditions. Republicans put our nation in debt giving money to the billionaires. Warren wants to help old people living in desperate circumstances. Good for her.
