Senate's massive, $80 Bn spending increase would be enough to forgive student debt and make public colleges tuition-free. Trump only asked for $54 Bn. A 13% increase that would make our defense spending greater than the 10 next most-spending countries combined.

- isn't college debt more like a trillion and a half. not to mention the economics of such systems. two costs are growing uncontrollably edu and health********

- same with obamacare. insurance and hospitals said cool... why would they do that? because it meant more money less competition********
