This policy seems hollow especially considering the economy is basically at full employment. Dems need to run on lifting wages and expanding health care in 2020.

Seems like something to push when in a recession and not when the economy is basically at full employment. Also I think it'd be better to just push a huge apprenticeship/vocation program than just 'well the Gov't will give you a job!'

So apparently this program would cost $500B per year way more than what free college would cost and probably about what a universal health care system would cost annually. If they want to push this they need a clear way of paying for it or sacrifice other proposals for this one.
