Critique of Senate Candidate's Policies

Jessica just said it doesn't matter if a guy running for Senate can tell you

how much things are gonna cost. I think that's stupid.

I think he's not that smart.

I asked him, "What's the federal budget?" He couldn't

tell me.

Mm.

I said, "Well, how much is Medicare for All gonna cost us?" He

couldn't tell me.

He- You guys are right. He's a sloganeerist.

He's very surface level. He says things quickly,

and then he gets out at the

commercial break. He says we're bankrupt because of foreign

wars. Well, do you know what we spend on defense each

year?

Greg, I know you didn't look this up, so I did, buddy.

13% of spending goes to the Pentagon.

The rest is all entitlements, Social Security, healthcare, and

servicing the debt. That's what's bankrupting the country.

So as a bankrupt country, he wants to come in and

spend $6 trillion a year on more entitlements,

and he wants to nationalize the healthcare industry.

Not capitalist very much, but that's what he wants to do,

and he doesn't

know how he's gonna do that. I think that's dumb.

I think we expect more from our politicians-

Mm

... than just a banner on a bumper sticker

that says, "Yeah, give me

stuff." Y- you should hold your politicians to a

higher standard too,

Jessica.
