Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but how on Earth are we supposed to believe we “can’t afford” paid family leave, universal pre-K, or climate action when our politicians are willing to pass an $858 billion annual defense budget without batting an eye?

@rbreich I think it’s not so much about defense fund but, in fact, rich folks not paying their share of taxes. If everyone was taxed according to their income without filing income taxes as of the end of the year, we would be able to fund social programs. Universal Healthcare should be a given.
