Never before have presidential candidates offered voters so much “free” stuff.
Kamala Harris wants you to “collect up to $500 a month.”
Elizabeth Warren says, “We need to go tenfold in our research and development in green energy.”
No one has tracked the cost of all of the promises. So my video team did!
Who will spend the most?
Here are the new spending proposals from the five most popular (according to ElectionBettingOdds.com) candidates.
In my latest video, we break it down by category, education spending first:
Joe Biden wants to “triple the amount of money we spend for Title I schools” ($32 billion) create “universal pre-K” ($26 billion), provide “free community college” ($6 billion per year) and double the number of psychologists and social workers in schools ($14 billion) – $78 billion total.
That’s a lot, but much less than what Kamala Harris would spend.
She too wants to “make community college free” ($6 billion), but she’d add debt-free “four-year public college” ($80.1 billion), “increase government’s investment in child care” dramatically ($60 billion) and “give the average public school teacher a $13,000 raise” ($31.5 billion) for a total of $177 billion.
Pete Buttigieg rarely says what his proposals would cost, but he at least seems to want to spend less than Harris.
He touts “free college for low- and middle-income students” and would give teachers more money. Assuming his plan is like Harris’, that brings his education total to $87 billion.
Elizabeth Warren would spend much more.
“You’ll be debt-free!” she tells students. Taxpayers, unfortunately, will be deeper in debt, since she would “forgive” most existing student debt and make public college tuition free ($125 billion).
She also wants a “Universal Child Care and Early Learning Act” ($70 billion).

That huge cheer at the Dem debate last night for student loan cancellation should send a chill up your spine. I expect the Dems will make that the cornerstone of their 2020 campaign and the GOP will have to respond.
Well, not having watched it we missed on the spine chilling cheering from the brain dead audience. Did you see an “APPLAUSE” sign flashing someplace? Pretty sure Mrs rktman will be ‘demanding’ her money back from paying off her student debt in the mid 80’s.
The Russian national anthem at the end of the video is priceless!! lol
The best thing that could come out of this is for them to get in a bidding war for votes.

If college is going to be free, then I WANT A TOTAL REFUND FOR WHAT HUBBY AND I PAID TO SEND OUR OLDEST SON THROUGH U.T AND ALSO WHAT WE SPEND TO GET ME THROUGH NURSING SCHOOL.
Probably couldn’t get that show on the air today. Only in reruns.
