Interesting.

Not sure I disagree with you.

Also not sure how to make this feasible for the folks without credit cards/significant money in checking for the deposit.

Then there are those republicans who would try their best to sink any such proposal, and any political capital is better used (arguably) on fixing the health insurance system.

The latter has concrete economic benefits, the former can be blown off by the right easily.

Or, we could just invest the money and solve both problems. If war bonds can be a thing, why the actual fuck are climate bonds and Medicare for all bonds not reasonable?

We as a nation a)make good on debt, congress be damned, and b) need both climate work and also healthcare work.
