Democrat presidential candidates "big" ideas show that they have tiny minds

NBC has been asking Democrat Presidential candidates what their core idea for improving America is; what their "big" idea for helping we the people is.

The answers are illuminating:

Cory Booker: Have the government set up savings accounts for all babies with more money going to babies whose parents are likely to vote for him.

Bernie Sanders: Medicare for all.  Of course given that medicare is already hemorrhaging money the idea that doubling down on it will make things better is literally insane.

Pete Buttigieg: Abolish the electoral college so we don't need to bother letting people in fly over country vote since all the elections will be determined by the two coasts and Texas.  Apparently he thinks the money saved by not having to let people in the rest of the country to vote can be used to fund gender transitions for tykes.

Kirsten Gillibrand: Wants paid family leave. Of course she's not going to pay for it so it will mean that businesses will be incentivized to higher older people and single people to avoid the cost.

Julian Castro: Mandatory pre-K where children can be molded into good servants of the state.  Given that studies have shown that pre-K on its own doesn't help kids this is one more example of Democrats pretending a program designed to help them get elected is in fact for the children.

Kamala Harris: Raise teachers salaries.  Apparently there is no need for teachers to actually improve their performance or for their students to actually learn anything.

Everyone of these proposals grows government or reduces the power of we the people.  Not one of them actually benefits we the people.
