Critique of Senate Candidate's Policies
杰西卡刚说，参议员候选人 能否告诉你
东西要花多少钱并不重要。 我觉得这很蠢。
我觉得他没那么聪明。
我问他：“联邦预算是多少？”他 答不上来。
他答不上来。
嗯。
我说：“那么，全民医保 要花我们多少钱？”他
答不上来。
他——你们说得对。 他就是个只会喊口号的人。
他很肤浅。 他说话很快，
然后就在广告
时间溜了。 他说我们因外国
战争而破产。那你知道我们每年 在国防上花多少钱吗？
格雷格，我知道你没查这个， 所以我查了，伙计。
格雷格，我知道你没查这个， 所以我查了，伙计。
13%的支出给了五角大楼。
剩下的全是福利支出， 社保、医疗保健和
偿还债务利息。 这些才是让国家破产的原因。
所以作为一个破产的国家， 他想进来
每年再花六万亿美元在更多的 福利项目上，
他还想把医疗保健 行业国有化。
这可不怎么资本主义， 但他就是想这么做，
而且他根本
不知道该怎么做。 我觉得这很愚蠢。
我觉得我们对我们的 政客期望更高——
嗯
嗯
上面写着：“对，给我
东西。”你— 你也应该要求你的政客达到
更高的标准，
杰西卡。

Original transcript (English)
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.
