The discussion about this proposal will be interesting: The groups which call people "leftist" will for sure argue that the economy will be badly impacted by these changes, as they always argue with. Germany in contrast has a rather staggering economical performance for being so "leftist", which reduces the power of the argument. Those groups will then have serious issues argumenting at all (which arguments of the same magnitude are left?).

I assume that a civilised discussion can still be held in the US.
