Joe Biden wants to give free health care to illegal aliens. Unfortunately for Biden's pretentious to magnanimity, illegal aliens already receive free health care in the United States to the tune of $18.5 billion per year, according to a report published in Forbes last year. In Biden’s defense, it’s easy to lose track of 10 or 20 billion as Democrat presidential contenders compete for their party’s nomination by offering everything to everyone for free.
Democrats’ free stuff primary promises voters a need-free life from cradle to grave. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has pledged free child care for all Americans. According to the Center for American Progress, child care for American infants costs on average nearly $15,000 per year. The financial services firm Moody’s pegs the cost of Warren’s program at $1.7 billion over 10 years.
Once young Americans leave free daycare, Democrat presidential candidates would like the government to educate them, not merely through high school, but through college as well. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has pledged to make community colleges and four-year public universities free for families earning less than $125,000 per year. Warren would take Sanders' plan a step further. In addition to free public college, she would give each of the 42 million Americans currently paying off their student loans up to $50,000. Warren herself estimates that plan would cost an additional $1.25 trillion over 10 years. In the Senate, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., have all co-sponsored the “Debt-Free College Act,” estimated to cost $95.4 billion per year.
But college is only the beginning. After graduation come the real political handouts. For those recent grads “unable or unwilling to work,” a universal basic income would replenish their bank accounts each month.

Talk about selling your soul to the devil - all one has to do to get free stuff for life is to give up their liberty (vote for Democrats).
America’s debt in our printed, fiat, manipulated Federal Reserve currency means nothing - and is limitless, to our statist, progressive politicians of both parties.
That is, until it turns into the Argentine Peso or Zimbabwe Dollar.
Democrats believe we have a limitless reserve of ‘other peoples’ money’....NOT!
Cut off and Stop all Congressional Paychecks until the National Debt is paid in full.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.

If the Democrats could not find a way to buy or steal votes, they would never win another election.
This particular type of salesmanship by the Democrats is extraordinarily effective with certain demographics.
Student Loan Forgiveness is the one Democrat giveaway plan that kind of scares me. The number of votes that could draw off the couch and out to the polls is huge. Whole industries like real estate and auto will sign-on in support, lusting after all of those Millenials with suddenly disposable income.
A vote for ANY Democrat, whether it be in a local, state or federal election, is a vote against America!
America cannot survive a Democrat victory in 2020!
Why? To keep themselves in multimillion dollar mansions, private jets, and expensive automobiles, of course.
Where are they going to get the money to pay for all this "free" everything? From the hard working American men and women, that's where, by gouging them with taxes.
These parasites are super-thieves. Mere thieves will merely break into your home and help themselves, or swindle a few people--or a few hundred people--out of their life savings. But super-thieves are in a far higher bracket. They rob and swindle millions of people. They don't just break into your home; their reach is far deeper, far stealthier, far more personal, far more thorough.
10 years ago, the same types were absolutely certain BHO was going to pay off their houses.
I have never voted for a democrat and never will.
Indeed, this could go on for many generations. It took Rome nearly two centuries to go from Bread and Circuses to the Crisis of the 3rd Century. I suspect countries like China and Russia are hoping to displace the US dollar with something else - like gold.
When do they start handing out free lottery tickets?.
More voters will reject than accept the giveaway— my guess.
