Social programs must be implemented to effect a healthy and happy society. Using the government to obtain this goal is by far the best way to do that.

The Republicans have this cock and bull idea that capitalism can do that alone, which is nuts. They think there is no need for social programs.

I am well rounded in both the theory and implementation of social programs..

The congress led by the Democrats needs to greatly increase taxes on the rich and corporations and make huge cuts in corporate welfare programs like the military industrial complex, and farm subsidies. And we need a huge increase in social spending for things like addressing the homeless situation and helping the poor live better lives, health care and education.

And at the top of the list of new revolutionary programs, as AOC said, is that we must address the displacement of workers by automation with government programs to effect massive income redistribution to protect the poor.

And the first thing we can do right now to start mitigating income inequality, is raising the minimum wages across the nation.

And like I said, Warren should go back to the academia where she belongs.
"In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is." ;) I let you guess who said that :D
