https://babylonbee.com/news/elizabeth-warren-unveils-plan-to-pay-for-medicare-for-all-through-the-power-of-love-and-friendship [quote]WASHINGTON, D.C.—Elizabeth Warren has come under scrutiny for not revealing the hard facts about her medicare for all plan. But today, she finally unveiled her plan: paying for medical care for everyone in the nation with the power of love and friendship. "Many people have asked how I'm going to pay for my $52 trillion plan," she said in a speech Friday. "Here's how we're going to do it: with love, friendship, rainbows, and glitter." "By the power of loving one another, we can overcome hardship and also mathematical impossibilities." One reporter grilled Warren on her plan: "This seems far-fetched. How are you actually going to get this to work?" the journalist asked. Tearing up, Warren replied, "Love. Dreams. Imagination. Believe in yourself. You can do anything. Friendship is the key. Vote Warren!" The journalist quickly apologized for asking the question and asked if she could take a selfie with Warren.[/quote] >the national debt is currently over 22 trillion dollars. >the government seems incapable of passing a budget that doesnt involve massive borrowing aka more debt. >this cant go on forever. It simply cant. We cant simply expect the rest of the world to lend us more and more money until the end of time for the same reason you cant use a credit card as if it's a license to print money. >if the federal government were to actually shutdown, and I don't mean like the little baby shutdowns of certain agencies that we've had I'm talking a real, no shit shutdown imagine the shitshow that would ensue if the entire population was [u]DEPENDANT[/u] on the federal government for their healthcare. >you know, because you blew up the private healthcare system for the government run option. Therefore, even if you can convince me that socialism isnt inherently evil (it is) or that socialized medicine isnt inherently going to be shitty (it is) it is beyond asinine, to pretend that we can afford to do this. Anything mathematically unsustainable will eventually end. Tick tock tick tock.
