We are in serious trouble...

[cld51860]

Just when you thought the left couldn’t get any screwier...

[Bernard]

But it would at the very least demonstrate to voters that Democrats had something new and bold to offer them.

Spending more money we don't have is "new and bold"? Somebody could make a fortune selling clues to people like this. Even at $100 per vowel would be a good living. At least until the money runs out....

"has become a loud progressive voice on the Hill"

They mean a loudmouth.

[amnestynone]

Good idea if you could only tax rich Democrats and rinos to pay f0or it.

[faithhopecharity]

Exactly the opposite of how to Incease prosperity in society

[SkyDancer]

From???

[BitWielder1]

This is exactly the wrong kind of help that will only make things worse.

[Afterguard]

It’s called “you pretend to work, and the Government pretends to pay you”

Sounds kind of Soviet, don’t you think?

[Waryone]

If he wants to hit up his Silicon Valley buddies for a trillion dollars to give out, I have no problem with that. But no one should get one penny more than they pay in of US tax dollars for either refunds or EITC.

[KarlInOhio]

He slams on Kentucky and people still living there despite not having an Indian restaurant within two miles, but doesn't mention the fact that for the same $3000 a month you pay to rent an apartment in his district you can buy a 2000 square foot house and a few acres of land in Kentucky.

If the government gives someone $100 and takes back $90, you’re at a deficit of $10. But that is $10 in the economy. It’s $10 of productive economic activity. It’s not like that $10 just disappeared.

You're going to have to knock out a lot of teeth to get the tooth fairy to leave you that $10 under the pillow. Or else it will have to be printed which will give you inflation or borrowed which will squeeze out more productive borrowers. There is no free lunch.

Silicon Valley, where inventing a new app is seen as the way to change the world, and the most essential skill one must learn to succeed in that world is seen as computer programming - fantasy land for sure.....

[Yo-Yo]

Hey Ro, since you represent Silicon Valley, have you compared the cost of a 2,500 sq. ft. three bedroom home in Sunnyvale, CA, with an identical house in Houston, TX? Here's a clue: The median price per square foot in Sunnyvale is $815, while in Houston it is $158.

Do you grasp the concept of supply and demand? What do you think will happen to the prices of goods and services if you give free money to everyone?

Asshat.

[WKUHilltopper]

So get to writing your checks to pay for it. Just a warning tho, you’ll get yourself up sh*tcreek for writing bad checks in KY.

[Kickass Conservative]

He wants to round up all the Silicon Valley Billionaires, take their Money and give it to the Working Folks?

What a guy.

Can I be first in line on the receiving end?

Paging Ten Years After, paging Ten Years After, please pickup the Congressional Democrats Courtesy Phone.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

The commie left has always promoted wealth redistribution from those who earn it by the sweat of their brows to the lazy bums who want a free ride.

This is nothing new...

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

There is nothing stopping this jackwipe from giving his own money away. I would bet he is a stingy SOB who gives nothing to charity. As always with commies, it is all about OPM — Other Peopl’s Money.

[Bellflower]

Dumb, then all prices will raise.

[LambSlave]

Eliminate the EITC completely and get the same effect, plus actual long term growth as well.
