if we build a wall and deport 14 million illegals that are mostly either collecting some sort of social service or working under the table and sending money back to their home country, then we save enough there not only to pay for the wall but to also fund the extra two years in school and give child care.I didnt realize were already paying for building the wall, but lets look at this.let's discuss your platform! As I understand it you want a $15.00 per hr minimum wage. Guaranteed time off. Who will pay for this?
You also want affordable college for all, and child care for working families. Who will pay for this?
And single payer? Who will pay for this?
From where will the revenue come?
Please answer civilly and seriously. And, if you feel inclined explain how college tuition became unaffordable.
The savings from not building a trillion dollar wall.
15 an hour, college and child care are all items that are always going to be requiring a revenue source, the wall is something that will cost but be paid off at some point.
Be careful with that child care. The way it has been promoted is as a tax credit. The problem is that the vast majority of day care centers are 6 AM-6PM M-F. Most people work completely different schedules and there are no day cares, unless in specific locations, to accommodate them. So, it's a feel good measure that doesn't do shit.
What is the cost benefit of building a wall? What are the cost benefits of child care? It seems providing 24-7-365 child care is an industry whose time has come as shift workers, those who routinely work OT and on call employees have child care needs too.
What are the cost benefits of adding grades 13 & 14, providing training for those not academically inclined yet needing the skills necessary to compete for 21st Century Jobs.
And Im still not all for the college or child care, I took care of my own out of my pocket when it was needed, I dont understand how so many cant do the same.
