+ 1000. All the whining about "we just can't afford this" "it's not sustainable" is just a bunch of republican talking points. But just as they falsely claim to be "fiscally responsible" or in favor of "family values" it's all just a bunch of tired BS. We're the richest country on the planet. We have plenty of money to do a lot of stuff if we don't worry about the richest among us getting all whiny about having to shell out one or two percent of their income to help others.
