Questions from a non Bernie supporting friend.

With all due respect to your friend, these questions read as incredibly dismissive of how big these issues actually are. Student debt is crushing an entire generation of bright young Americans, and forgiving the debt is not only the morally right thing to do, it is also an investment in the economic future of the country. As for paying for it, the entire thing could have been covered by the $1.5 trillion that was flushed down the toilet yesterday trying to boost the stocks back up.

As for M4A, who in the actual fuck would want to call an ambulance just cuz? The possibility that some negligible outlier of trolls might abuse the system is far overshadowed by the fact that tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people die each year from a lack of proper medical care (a figure which may skyrocket due to coronavirus). Maybe, just maybe, it’s a good thing that under MFA, people would no longer be incentivized against seeing a doctor due to financial reasons.
