Are beneficial to a society. One of the paradoxes is they have to be implemented and stay in place long enough for their benefits to take hold well enough for everyone to see those benefits. So, we are stuck with safe attempts to at least set the pathway there like the ACA and the government taking over the student loan program - if you look at such programs in the absolute, they clearly don't go far enough, but if you look at them in terms of the best that we can get established, then they are a starting point. I really don't think we will get real change until we eliminate republicans from office all over the country and hold that absolute power long enough for effective policy to take root. The other option is for us to get leveled like most of Europe and be forced to implement a social democracy concept where citizen basic needs are mostly met - but, even in Europe, as the ravages of WWII become more distant and societies there wealthier and more diverse, fascism is starting to return strongly - In a society where some feel that if the lesser among society gain, they lose, fascism has appeal, that reality is what keeps republicans in office.
