To those of you who have pointed out the national debt- I agree with your point but also consider that the debt has mostly been added by the generation which ducked service more then any other
Which may indeed be true, but that still doesn't pay for the trillions this plan would cost now, unjustified by any critical emergency. Thus the amount of understanding on the part of the purchasers of government debt will not be sufficient to cover it as deficit spending. Therefore a funding mechanism is necessary and preferably one that doesn't involve killer interest or inflation rates, so we are talking about taxes. Which considering the amount of tax hikes already baked into the pie, we are talking some seriously steep hikes in very short time.
