Also generally, we can discuss how much socialism to interject into our economy when it comes to things that effect working age adults.
However, America should institute full blown socialism when it comes to children. Everything from the healthcare, education, housing, food, should all be subsidized or given to them as free. No parent should have hospital bill for their child, school lunches should cost zero, kids should ride robust public transportation systems for free, attend well funded schools, breath clean air, drink water free of any heavy metal of pollutants, and give them a nest egg in the form of a baby bond. And we should not even think about what it cost. I am talking from birth all the way into their early 20s.
Subsidizing kids puts them in a higher economic trajectory which means they will cost society less later in life. Basically, the long term benefits of these policies basically make these interventions free.
The American economy is all about choices about who we prioritize. Poor vs rich, white vs non-white, landlords vs renters, firms vs workers, young vs old. While I feel that in most areas we have to rebalance priorities, for the young vs old we don't have to make that choice. Working age adults should pay to give a quality standard of living to the young and old. Expand the social safety for all, but make it real plush for your children. Then they grow up and do the same for the next generation. In that setup, you are raising the level of economic security for people, and it cost society little to nothing.
Oh, and let us protect our young ones from sexual predators like Roy ******* Moore.
