Great idea, but we can't afford it.
Tim Pawlenty called...he wants his smarmy lie back.
Uh, I don't care if Tim Pawlenty used the same or similar wording. But my sentence is nothing but the truth.
I'm well aware that Sanders does not care about the deficit whatsoever. But balancing the budget is near the top of what my priorties would be if I was an elected official. And it's not happening if we give people free Bachelor's degrees. If you have a plan to fund 4 years of free college for every american without increasing the deficit besides 'massively raise taxes', then tell me what it is. I'll give you a 5:1 ratio to work with - 5 dollars of cuts to existing government spending for every 1 dollar of tax increases.
Well, very few politicians actually care about the deficit. After all, the Senate recently voted 71-25 to give the military $38 million more than what the Pentagon requested. And unlike Hillary or all the Republicans except Trump, he didn't support some useless $2 trillion war.
