Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

@rbreich just for comparison, how much do you spend in the military?
@mdione @rbreich a quick look on wikipedia states a military budget for 2023 of 782 billion
@flbr @rbreich it's a good thing, then, that you need more to protect people, than people to protect...</sarcasm>
