The only platform the Democratic Party runs on is they believe in issues that appear helpful, yet they have no idea how they will pay for it — universal health care, open borders and mandatory paid leave, just to name three.
There is no way any candidate on any level can say he or she has a way to pay for universal health care. It’s too large of a venture to be successful in figuring out the costs.
Allowing anyone to just enter the country is an even bigger endeavor. We not only have to support some of them financially but also through free public school and maybe housing as well. This is way too big of an added burden for our country on top of everything else we do.
Who is supposed to pay for mandatory time off? Business would most likely make cuts. There is no way people would want the federal government to just hand over money.
The Democrats may have nice ideas in theory, but they have absolutely no legitimate or reasonable way to pay for any of them. Please think before you vote.
