"His small payroll tax raise will fund the healthcare plan which will in turn save people money"
How would it save people money? Also you do know that with a payroll taxes businesses can't afford to give out higher wages.
"People will have more disposable income which will grow the economy. "
What grows the economy is producing, not spending.
"He has also said he wants to tax wall st speculation in order to pay for tuition-free college. ""
To pay for 2/3 of college. The states will pick up the rest of the tab, and that is if they want to. Also, how is he going to solve the problem of us lacking professors, TAs, tutors, dorms, classrooms, facilities, staff and so on?
"improving the education of the workforce and reducing consumer debt thereby increasing spending and growing the economy?"
Again, producing grows the economy, not spending. Also you want a workforce with more skills, not necessarily more education.

Walmart pays above the min. wage already. And they have pushed for a higher min. wage in the past knowing it would hurt smaller competitors. Walmart pays the market rate for retail workers. I find it funny that you rip on Walmart but not Target, Hy Vee, Safeway, Raley's and so on for their comparable wages (and they also hire less people). You are wanting to make a policy that effects everyone just because you hate one company. That is now how we should be approaching economic policies.
"The data show that raising the minimum wage has only a minor,
short-term, adverse effect on employment when it is done reasonably."
Not really. It has a long term effect on those at a disadvantage such as teenagers from communities that suffer through poverty. Instead of getting a job, developing skills and connections and getting out of poverty, they get stuck. Before the min. wage black and white teenage unemployment was comparable. Since then black teenage unemployment has gone up drastically. There is a reason why the black community continues to suffer and be in poverty. There are other factors as well but the inability to get a job at a young age plays a role.
"By putting more money in the hands of low-wage earners, it actually
boosts economic growth leading to increases in employment down the line."
Again, false. If it were that easy then why not a $100/hr? Or why not just mail people checks for $20,000? What boosts an economy is producing, not spending.
"The FHA did NOT cause the housing bubble. You are parroting misinformation from the Republican Party."
Actually I never heard of the republican party mentioning the FHA. My own intelligence has me realizing the FHA caused a housing bubble just like the student loan program is going to cause a student loan bubble.
"Why should a degree be as expensive as a house?"
Because for the four years of work you do you can get a lot of value back from that, such as buying a house.
"Why should a degree PREVENT you from buying a house? "
It doesn't.
"The average student graduated in 2015 with $35,000 in student loan debt."
I agree, that is a slight problem. The federal government artificially increased demand with their student loan program and supply did not keep up with demand causing an increase in prices. That is basic econ. 101. The federal government again caused a problem here. It increased spending without increasing production and prices went up......hmmmm......this sounds familiar.
"The economy is helped much more when people have disposable income"
I agree. With increased production goods and services get better and there are more of them which drives prices down.
"Do you know who benefits from student loan debt? The banks! And you have been fooled into supporting their policies!"
I really don't support the federal student loan program.

We have had boom and bust cycles under Glass Steagall. We had a bust under Carter, under Reagan we improved. "i have the most credible source for this," but have yet to provide it. Look at GDP growth throughout the year. You see recessions. You never hear of them because we recovered quickly due to little to no federal government action, just like what happened in 1921.
The happiness index is subjective. Also it still doesn't change the fact that you are comparing the US to Denmark, two countries with vastly different societies. Really, what is happiness? Settling for mediocrity is happiness? Being forced to join the military is happiness? If you did that in the US then people would be very pissed off. Saying "they are happier in Denmark" is not an argument. They have 5 million people, little diversity, and accomplish almost nothing compare to the US. How many times have they landed on the moon? How many major companies do they have?
"is a tenet for the first stages of libertarianism, which is a conservative movement btw. are you for a small military? "
It is not a tenet for libertarianism, but if you want to think that then fine. I see what you are trying to do with the military question. You do know that when compared in percent of GDP we are number 4 in the world in military spending. We are a military that is comparable in size to other countries, and people on their own free will sign up for it. The military we have now is fine.
" and small police force?"
Whatever that local government wants. Police are ran and funded locally.
"and small firemen force?"
Considering how around 70% of firefighters are volunteered it is safe to say it is pretty small. But again, it all depends on what that local government wants.
"and small infrastructure?"
What is infrastructure? Really, I hear this a lot. Maybe if we built something correctly the first time it wouldn't be falling apart. But again, it comes down to what the state and local governments want.
You are trying to say "you want small this and small that". I can't define what "small" is. How ever much of those programs you want is up to the state and local government (with the exception of the military since that is ran by the fed and is constitutional in doing so). If a state wants a large police force and their citizens vote on it then why not? That is their choice. If they don't want it then they can rally to vote against it or move to another state and remain a US citizen. You see the balance of that?
"let's also get rid of unemployment and disability and social security and medicare."
Considering they are programs that are inefficient an running out of money, plus are unconstitutional and has created more problems, why not?
Here is the problem, you want your idea of government to be instituted at the federal level. I am not saying your idea of government is 100% wrong, it is just that not everyone wants it. People wanted healthcare reform in 2008 but we could not get 60 senate democrats go agree on one bill. The reason why is because while people wanted healthcare reform they all wanted something different. This is the exact same problem the founding fathers ran into thus they created state rights.
You want your government to be established at the fed. But when a group of republicans come in push to establish theirs then you complain. You action causes that to happen. Mine is saying you can push to establish your idea of what government should do at the state and local level. If you like it then great, if not then rally to change it or move to another state that fits your ideas. I live in a state that is right to work, has no income tax, is right leaning. I moved here. I will not live in CA that is very liberal. I will also not push to change what CA is doing because that is what those citizens want, but you will. You can call me a libertarian all you want but at least I am not a fascist like you.
