I really don't understand how any rational adult hears these Dem candidates and thinks they just heard well thought out plans that will actually work in real life.
I understand and the person who is young and doesn't know any better being suckered. I understand the person who plans their life around getting money from the government liking the promise of more handouts.
What I don't understand at all is how any adult tax paying citizen can possibly listen to these promises and not consider how it will be paid for.
The go to answer from socialists is to cut the military and raise taxes. Putting aside that both of those are horrible ideas, even if you cut the military to zero and raised taxes to 80% on the rich, that's still not anywhere near enough to pay for free college for everyone, free Healthcare, free whatever else. It's just not.
