The GOP tax plan gives more than $530 billion in tax breaks to the richest 1%. Here are some other things we could do with that money. 1/
We could insure over 10 million additional adults through Medicaid each year for the next 10 years. 2/
We could increase the National Cancer Institute's budget by 957%. 3/
We could repave every mile of highway in the entire United States. Two and a half times. 4/
We could increase NASA's budget for the next 10 years to roughly twice what it was during the Apollo missions. 5/
We could provide child care to 5.3 million children every year for the next ten years. 6/
We could hire more than 900,000 new teachers. 7/
We could triple the salaries of every firefighter, EMT and paramedic in the country. 8/
We could build roughly 200 GW worth of solar power plants, which would increase our solar capacity by about 600%. 9/
We could increase the budget for the Veterans Health Administration by 80%. 10/
We could provide free school lunch and breakfast to every public school student in America. 11/
Or, I guess we could give it all to the richest 1% of Americans and hope it trickles down to everyone else someday. /end
