If you add bloat in the defense budget, corporate subsidies, unfair tax breaks, fill loopholes & IRS neglect of collecting taxes of the richest, the money would pay for everything we need to fundamentally disrupt economic patterns that guarantee the chronic suffering of millions.

Rock On Marianne!
the taxes are just a way to avoid inflation but since the 2009 stimulus only seemed to make that happen in housing and education the lenders of that debt are the winners anyway

It would pay WHOM for everything we need? That's the rub, innit? To fundamentally disrupt economic patterns that guarantee the chronic suffering of millions, stop working to guarantee the suffering of millions and let the "economy" worry about itself. Or not. We don't need it.
