As a New Yorker, please let me explain why Bloomberg is not a viable candidate. But also, let me explain why. At @sarahkendzior’s suggestion, I read Wayne Barrett’s 1992 book on Trump. It’s all there, the lies, the mafia connections, the shamelessness. The media failed to vet him
There’s a ton of dirt on Bloomberg, too. motherjones.com/media/2017/01/…

@pzeller1966@ChristinaHaas17@adamcbest@PeteButtigieg No it’s a pretty clear public policy argument that has a long track record of people studying and advocating for it. 1. You could pay for it with ~.05 percent of the defense budget. 2. More participants across the income spectrum creates a wider base of stake holders.
@pzeller1966@ChristinaHaas17@adamcbest@PeteButtigieg 3. Only 1.4% of the benefits of free college go to the 1%. 98.6% to everyone else including middle class kids. How about in a knowledge economy we invest in education instead of the $100 billion Trump defense increase & endless wars. slate.com/business/2019/…
