And it's also fair to point out that lots of free stuff are being given to


victims of Trump's trade wars, particularly in agriculture, and that's just for Trump's political benefit.

All govts decide on initiatives that they think are "worth it". The free stuff bullshit from the right, which has lost legitimacy under Trump in their claim of being "conservative", is just their way to demonize policies they don't like.

Obviously Bern and Warren think Medicare for All saves money over time. I may not agree, but that "free stuff" is worth it in their policy theory. As is free college - make college more available, make more citizens who can stand on their own over the course of their lives.

So really, your statement about spending to provide incentives, and create benefits (including future savings) over time, is no different, and none of us, left, right, or centrist, ever gets a guarantee that such spending will pay off as intended.
