[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing this social experiment has proven is that the US has plenty of money to spend on programs they want. If we have billions to spend on detention centers, then we certainly have enough money for paid parental leave, universal healthcare, fully funded schools, etc.

Don’t let anyone tell you that we don’t have enough. We’re purchasing empty warehouses for millions of dollars, and throwing billions at over militarized agencies to terrorize our neighbors. All while tanking the economy.[/quote]

We are already spending more than enough on healthcare. It needs to be allocated differently to allow low income people to have more access and less profits to PE and big pharma, but healthcare does not need more money.

Same with schools. Per-pupil expenditures are among the highest in the world. The schools have enough funding. More of it needs to go to teacher pay (hire more teachers and pay them more) and less needs to go to ed tech and bloated administration. FCPS superintendent makes more than the President and has a full security detail. Whatever economies of scale that were achievable have been wiped out by huge bloated administrative salaries.

Paid parental leave should be a thing for all workers.[/quote]
