Adam Mockler: Democratic Party Needs ‘Forward Looking, Exciting Vision’ Beyond Opposition

‘Democrats need to be putting side by side the cost of this war versus what we could be spending it on‘

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."
