There is no such thing as free education. Either way, they are going to be paying for university/college one-way or another, either for themselves or through taxes when they start working.
Taxes take care of very little more efficiently. Example - DMV. Tax dollars. Government employees who cant be fired, have ridiculous benefits, dont give a fuck, and are overseen by a bureaucratic nightmare machine into which they have very little input or autonomy to make smart decisions. That having been said, are we rich enough to send everyone to college for free? Probably. Those that argue we dont "need to" might be right, but very few people "needed" even a 6th grade education 100 years ago.
There isn't money to build it though. If he were to do it under State of Emergancy, it would come from other programs, cutting into the VA, national parks,food assistance programs ect.
Trust me there is more than enough money to build it. Our federal budget is massive compared to what trump is asking for. However Congress refuses to allocate the money in the budget. Now whether you agree a wall is a worthy cause or not is a completely different conversation but we(as in the us government) have MORE than enough.
Compared to the governments 3.8 trillion a year budget the 5 billion requested would the same percentage as you asking some who makes 40,000 a year to give you $52.
You're looking at the gross amount though. What does that number look like after you've put money towards salaries, and necessary programs. 3.8 trillion goes quickly. So the question is what they're going to cut to give over those billions. And billions are billions
While that is true, the government spends billions of dollars every year on frivolous things like that bomber project they spent billions on only to scrap the idea. Point is the government has money at their disposal and could easily fund this without cuts to any programs. They just choose not to.
The country is not drowning in student loan debt. Only some of the people who have chosen to take out student loans are drowning. Everyone had a choice, that's how freedom works.
True. But should we be grateful that the medical assistance exists or should we upset that someone can help us and they have the audacity to demand compensation for their abilities.
