You are going to hear every one of them promising more freebies than the last one. Not that I'm against free shit, but it would be nice if they explained how they were going to pay for it.

really?? Another talking point by the Republicans -- how are they going to pay for all the free stuff??
The answer is an easy one -- They aren`t going to pay! The 1% who benefitted from Trump`s lowering of taxes are going to pay for these free bees!! Now that's righteous!!!

From taxing everyone who has stolen from the former middle class over the last 40 years and made the former middle class into the WORKING POOR! That means celebrities, ceos, hedge fund managers, big pharma, corporations and everyone with an income over 10 million dollars a years.

The 70% tax on them is nothing compared to what it would fund:

1. Medicare for all Americans
2. College education for all Americans so we don't need to hire H1B's or immigrants for high skilled jobs
3. $6000 income tax credits for everyone making under $100k!

American lives matter! Not just the 1% lives who donate to congress!

How about those Republican tax cuts that were tailored to give wealthy people money that are expected to cost us $1.40 for every dollar in tax cut? That's the Republican version of freebies...lol! At least the Democrats want to 'give money' to people who could really use it.

Which seems to concern wealthy people a lot.

Those taxes will not pay for all of that.

How many people do you think make over 10 million a year? A quick search shows under three thousand, that's twenty one billion dollars. Another search shows just under four hundred billion a year spent on collage tuition. Looks like we need fifty four thousand more of the 1% just to fund education.

Get out of here with your math and logic.

Let's figure out how to pay for it first.

Did Congress and FDR figure out immediately how to pay for WW2 when they declared war on the axis powers?

Did Congress and JFK figure out immediately how to pay for the moon missions?

They bet their future rather than listen to a bullshit talking point like that.

It shows how desperate conservaterrorists are.. no solution to problems, just poke fun and holes at ideas. You have nothing! Only fear of immigrants and brown people.

We have actual solutions to actual problems and that is why you are scared!

Hopefully this time the Democratic debates won't be scheduled opposite sports events or on weekends when far fewer people will watch them...

Doing that lessened the exposure of the Democratic Party message in 2016... which was disastrous.

The actual solutions to actual problems you present are always "make someone else pay for it". I'm all for medicare for everyone. I could be convinced that free collage would work. But there has to be a plan other than "just do it", or make three thousand rich people pay for it.

Lets give every driver in the US a new Tesla. Lets give every family a free home. Lets pay everyone's bills so they don't have to work. Just do it, and we'll find the money somewhere.
