  1. The "how are we going to pay for it" crock is so outrageous that I can barely get the words out of my mouth. They never ask that when it comes to the endless river of gravy train handouts given out to all the various wall street/ big biz crony buddies straight from Congress, you want to talk about welfare? Y'all are looking in the wrong place! There it is! In sheer handouts and big business subsidies. They never talk about that. Hw about a DoD budget every year of approximately 1T? Such a ludicrous outrageous species argument that we can't afford it. It's just bullshit. It's absolute fkg horseshit. Not only can each state and local municipality afford 6much more if they would just tax at the top, mainly big business but also the top 5% of private households, cut back hugely on the police state and rates of incarceration which would help out immensely, the federal government can appropriate any amount they goddamn wish. It's their job. They appropriate. They sign bills and they appropriate. Sometimes fairly, and imo mostly unfairly, but that's what they fucking do. (Oh and btw they DON'T need to assess federal taxes, the IRS is bad and used to as an excuse and a corrupt lever to attack and cause extreme harm to average or low-income people just because they can; why do they need OUR money when they create new money every day?? I mean I'm willing to hear counterarguments to this but.... Yeah.) It's Congress's job to pay for programs and they could pay for whatever they wish. The moment they allocate the funds the money will be appropriated. We have a federal Mint that prints money 24/7. Money is also created and/or transferred digitally every second of every day! If the political will was there to have a national healthcare system second to none we would have it!!!!! We could afford every goddamn thing we wish!! IT'S ALL ABOUT PRIORITIES AND VALUES, PERIOD. You could end all forms of systemic poverty tomorrow easily with a few political tweaks, it wouldn't even require massive changes. It really wouldn't. It's a relatively easy problem to solve.
