re: #357 steve_davis

This isn’t fun and games. The country isn’t electing somebody who wants to give everybody in the country 12 thousand dollars a year. It’s a moronic economic idea. Democrats tend to forget that the moderate candidate last year beat the brakes off her primary challenger last year and won the popular vote by 3 million votes. Our problem is not that we aren’t running loopy enough candidates to compete with mainstream Republicans.

approximately:
327million people in the US less about 77m under 18 leaves around 250 million adults
250m * 12k per year is 3 trillion dollars

The government estimates it will receive $3.6 trillion in revenue for the fiscal year ending 9/20

unless im missing something
