Mindless voters will always vote free stuff. Who ever offers the mostest Free Stuff wins. When it comes to free stuff, its worth what you paid for it.
I am not an economist, so I may be missing the mark on the Democrats’ intentions. But, it seems that if the jobs are created by the government, and paid for by the government (with our tax dollars) it will not lead to real economic growth. It is simply the government taking more of our money to create bigger bureaucracies. Just think of all the new government employees who will be needed to administer these programs. Further, by guaranteeing a monthly basic income and free medicare for all, in addition to other benefits already available, not only is the incentive to work eroded, but the creation of jobs by small businesses is made much harder since most of those businesses won’t be able to compete with what the government will offer. At the end of the day, all we get from the new utopia is a larger tax burden and a declining economy.
