holy shit man, he just said he'd have the government pay for transit. he didn't say everything in the world would be free, he didn't say nobody has to work, all he said was one department, that being transit, would be paid for, just like when a nation pays for medicare, or education. if the government can put money into all the other programs such as healthcare, education, drug-rehab, environment, cancer research, overall medical research, massive military's, I'm sure this isn't that far fetched an idea and the billions upon billions wasted in millitary could be redistributed. Believe it or not, government-subsidized public services have existed before!
