1.7 trillion in debt collecting interest, 1.2 trillion in yearly private health expenses. The trouble we'll have in establishing universal healthcare and education is the disruption of those two profit centers...and their ability to drive wages down in order to pay those bills. The us economy is based on strip mining the us public, not just our natural resources. The campaign ads would likely write themselves long before universal programs showed their benefits. In the interim, and even if the programs survived and proved their worth - we'd probably cover that loss by strip mining the rest of the world that much harder. Unless it's immigrants. We could probably make up the difference with an aggressive labor-for-citizenship program.
