Public option provides all of that lol

If people can get an equivalent option for free they’ll stop paying for it

You don’t think national debt is a risk? Look at countries like Greece that default
That’s not making things better for the country’s people

Sure
Maybe you can get Medicare covered like that

But free college
And student debt forgiveness and back dated student debt forgiveness??
F*** no

No, it doesn't. theres a reason bidens website only says 97%. a public option means people still have to deal with bureaucracy, and when that happens people fall through the cracks. Why are you so laser focused on preserving a system of private insurance?

America is not greece.

Cut military budget by 300 billion bam solved.

Because going straight to abolishing private insurance creates a hell of a lot of issues on multiple fronts
Creating a public option lets you phase out privatized insurance

That's not nearly enough to fund M4A lmao

Only candidate to provide a healthcare plan without a massive budget shortfall was Mayor Pete

no, it doesn't create issues at all.

and no, it doesn't. because preserving the industry means costs will still rise, the poor and sickly will be on the bloated public option.

America has one of the highest debt to GDP ratios in the world
It’s not Greece but there is absolutely a limit to where the debt can get to

there is no budget shortfall because the US can simply issue the currency.

and how has that gone for us so far?

if your theory was correct japan would be f***ed.

That doesn’t even cover 1/5 of student debt forgiveness

And also wildly unrealistic to think America will do that

And what about the issues free college and student loan forgiveness creates
It’s a bailout for the upper class and free college is gonna result in more upper class students at public universities

Please, I beg of you, pick up a f***ing book

lmao

if upper class students wanted to go to public universities they would already do so, what kinda f***ed up logic is that?

Japan is in serious s*** for a number of reasons lol the debt is only one of them

You also realize that America has to get this money from somewhere right? People have to have faith that it’ll be repaid or they won’t lend it in the first place

You are like 36 years old cosplaying as some hardcore neoliberal on the internet.

Wait, is your argument serious that we should just print more money lmao

All this time you spend arguing about politics and somehow you managed to arrive at the same solution as my 5 year old niece

Idk why so many people bothered to study economics

yeah they get the money by issuing the currency

Wym
If public university is free there will be an increase in demand for public universities

I’m not talking about billionaires who can afford college off the rip I’m talking people making 300k a year
You think they won’t pick free college over $70k a year?

Your niece is smarter than you if you don't agree with her. go do some research on mmt, get back to me. or just read the deficit myth

well US does not issue the currency, an independent central bank does and good luck getting them to issue that much in a noninflationary manner in the pursuit of one policy

Great, I hope they do.

Why are you acting like inflation isn’t a thing

There’s a (low) limit to how much value can be created through seigniorage

But that will hurt less wealthy students who can’t afford the same high school resources
