Aside from the fact that Elizabeth Warren rejects the label “socialist” (“democratic” or otherwise, but embraces “markets with rules” to protect workers, consumers and the environment), and even Bernie is no socialist in any technical sense, the proposals for health care, education, a realistic social safety net and others are — unlike Republican corporate welfare and tax giveaways for the rich — fully paid for with leftover funds to spare.
PROgressives always reduce deficits and improve government efficiency. Proactive measures to PREVENT problems (foreign aid instead of military budgets; programs to prevent social unrest rather than merely reactive law enforcement or recovery in the aftermath of crimes and other social breakdown) have always been more effective than Republican neglect and then desperate, but far more costly reactive, remedial measures.
The fence at the top of the cliff is more efficient than ambulances at the bottom of the cliff, in both dollars and human suffering.
