Social spending is NOT socialism.
Citizens Benefits are NOT communism
Massive Federal initiatives are NOT paid for with YOUR TAX DOLLARS.
All Federal programs are paid for with newly created PUBLIC MONEY not tax dollars, no matter how hard earned.

We can have nice things! That includes a repurposed, modern peacetime military to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure & a host of other benefits to reintegrate Vets vs cutting the budget, we shift it to make returning soldiers whole & ensure they are safe, healthy & reintegrated
A Federal Job Guarantee to forever eradicate involuntary unemployment and end the fear of job loss that leads to so much neoliberal induced xenophobia.
A swift conversion to Green Energy that will provide MILLIONS of new, high skill, career level jobs.
Provide a transition strategy to achieve a zero carbon emission world.
It's all doable.

And none of it has to do with Federal Taxes paying for things and while we may need to shift real resources from one sector to another, affordability is not a financial thing at all.
Our progressive community MUST be able to effectively speak to all of these issues or we will never get past the question of "How are you gonna pay for it?"
If our movement CONSTANTLY falls back on neoliberal cuts to fund nonsense or tax hikes to fund "illiteracy" we will absolutely NEVER get a Green New Deal.
