Free money to the poor, and free insurance money to all without insurance would cost 1/100th of all the programs we have now including Obamacare.
But, really helping the poor is NOT what liberals really want - they need them there forever for a constituency.
What they really want is two things: 1.) redistribution - take money from those who have it, and 2.) take away our freedoms and put us under government control.
That’s what it’s always been about, and the hidden reality.......
Give money to the poor, and it all ends up back in the hands of the rich within a matter of days.
That’s why the Bolsheviks understood that the only solution was to simply shoot the rich.
