Adam Mockler: Democratic Party Needs ‘Forward Looking, Exciting Vision’ Beyond Opposition
RUSH EXCERPT:
MOCKLER: “It’s not enough. You got to have your own forward looking, exciting vision. So I think Democrats need to be putting side by side the cost of this war versus what we could be spending it on. I actually have some good stats here. So in New York, they did free school lunches for $300 million a year, put that against the $50 billion, which is a conservative estimate for this war. We could have funded this across the country. How about in Connecticut? They have paid family leave. It was $450 million a year. And it is $5 million to start up. Put that against the $50 billion. It is a no brainer. What about one more. In New Mexico. It costs $1.5 billion for free college. We could do that 20 times over with the $50 billion that we’ve spent to achieve. I don’t know, you made a really good point that Americans are willing to make national security."
