A few dumbdem president candidate promises

[ruppsrunt]

It has been entertaining listing the promises made by Democratic candidates. I continue to wonder what more can they promise. Well, last night we got one more …



Paid compensation to children that were brought into the US illegally and separated from adults claiming to be their parents.

The list of other promises so far:

· Free college

· Loan forgiveness and cancelling all educational debt

· A wealth tax

· Paid family leave

· Free Childcare

· Higher minimum wage

· Free, unlimited healthcare

· Universal Basic Income of $1,000 to each person, no strings attached

· Path to citizenship for all immigrants

· End offshore drilling

· Elimination of fossil fuels

· Reparations to descendants of American slaves … or any person claiming to be Black

· Trillions of US Dollars to Historically Black Colleges and Universities

· Criminal justice reform

· Making voting easier

· Overturning the constitutional electoral college system

· Public funding of federal campaigns reversing a Supreme Court decision

· End the trade war with China (i.e. continue to accept “forced transfer” of technology)

I am certain this is just a partial list--freebies are so easy to espouse during a campaign.

You may add others to help complete the list.

Sadly, we have to make sure the radicals NEVER gain power again. If they do, they will flush America down the crapper all the way to Venezuela.

RR since I'm too lazy, be neat if you put the published $$$ for the cost of each of those "promises", divide by 10 and come up with a base yearly number. Then a column showing Total taxed income assuming the rates Dems want to use. Then the current budget, then a column adding new promises to the existing yearly budget. Finally a column showing the growing defecit as a result.

Here is what it would show. Like the in the Star Trek world money becomes useless, we all-every man, woman, and child + immigrants work for free because the taxes absorb our incomes, we all have to work 12-15 hours a day simply to make enough money to support the taxes and entitlements. Then we factor out that 1% of our population that will not work because they don't want to, and the 1 or 2% that simply can't work due to disabilities or illness.

Dems running the congress simply do not understand that people simply want to be left alone. We want to work and be paid, we want to be able to accumulate rightfully earned rewards for that work, we want to own a little piece of the world we can call ours, we do want to travel some and see the world, we want to leave the world a bit better then we got it. Dems with their Marxist policies want to take that away as they know better don't you know.

Oh didn't watch the "debates" but I read they universally said this economy isn't working, Commie Bernie said that the blacks have never been more oppressed, Billionaires and Millionaires are all evil..unless they give to the Democratic Party.

I hope Peelousy never sends the charges to the Senate, I hope she keeps impeachment on the front burner that way independents, Repubs, and closet blue dog Dems will keep their mad on and crush the dems in the next election. Before I forget … not to early..folks you gotta vote your free of course to vote how you wish but you have to participate and think do you really want most of the people we in congress back there?

As a side (thinking different topics) the Senate approved interim budget all but 11. This budget is a disgrace, no effort by either side to cut the defecit, Trump will sign I'm sure but he shouldn't. We need change across the board both sides.

The list of other promises so far:

· Free college - should be some free college but not widely. This would help reduce the insane cost of education currently where even a mediocre at best college costs 40k a year which is ridiculous.

· Loan forgiveness and cancelling all educational debt. Cannot happen would create a financial crisis like housing bubble or worse.

· A wealth tax - depends on what it was exactly

· Paid family leave - mothers should get paid maternity leave for a month.

· Free Childcare - stupid an wouldnt be feasible

· Higher minimum wage - minimum wage should increase but at a state by state level not federal

· Free, unlimited healthcare - needs to happen an will happen where next 4 years or the 4 years after that. Tbe current healthcare costs are unsustainable.

· Universal Basic Income of $1,000 to each person, no strings attached - stupid an not serious

· Path to citizenship for all immigrants - immigrants with a skillset yes immigrants with nothing but wanting g to move here no.

· End offshore drilling

· Elimination of fossil fuels - we should want off of fossil fuels as they are finite resources. But gradually not forced.

· Reparations to descendants of American slaves … or any person claiming to be Black - stupid

· Trillions of US Dollars to Historically Black Colleges and Universities - stupid

· Criminal justice reform - if you are a killer , rapist, deal drugs to kids or a serious violent crime offender I would agree with tossing all those on an island letting g em fend for themselves. To try n make their lives easier is stupid.

· Making voting easier - I can agree a license or state ID should be needed.

· Overturning the constitutional electoral college system. The electoral college is out dated n should be overturned or at least over hauled. Twice in 20 years the person with most votes didnt win. While GOPers love the EC had it been their side getting shafted twice in 20 years gop would want it gone too. Hypocrisy.

· Public funding of federal campaigns reversing a Supreme Court decision

· End the trade war with China (i.e. continue to accept “forced transfer” of technology) - no issue with this continues I didnt agree with starting it but may as well see where it goes nowxas we are invested in it. Stoping now would just incite China to over correct the other way.

I am certain this is just a partial list--freebies are so easy to espouse during a campaign.
