I think it irresponsible to be adding trillions more to the debt. Why don’t we cut corporate welfare? The true definition of socialism. Why have we been subsidizing fossil fuels, agriculture, technology over and over for decades , yet a child getting a free lunch at school is the problem. The multi millionaire and billionaires are making record profits as CEO’s yet typically pay a much lower percentage in taxes due to many loopholes. If I pay 20% in taxes, then it’s reasonable for a billionaire to pay at least 20% but most pay a much smaller % due to deductions. The 20% impacting me, is the same impact on a billionaire. That money would would greatly increase the federal government’s income which would make our problems much less. A first world country takes care of its citizens. It’s only 3rd world countries that don’t take care of their citizens. That’s the benefit of living in a wealthy advanced country. The more poor and homeless you have the uglier the country becomes both physically and financially. It becomes much more crime ridden and dirty. First world countries all create safety nets for their citizens. That’s the benefit of an advanced country. Yet somehow we continue to go backwards towards the 1930’s when there were less protections for citizens and more abuse of citizens by corporations. This is crazy.
