The DSA's program of massive public housing, mass transit, and a 32-hour work week would consume nearly the entire US GDP.

Even if a politician like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez captures the White House, Congress may be reluctant to raise the trillions needed to finance the DSA program of massive new public housing, more mass transit and a 32-hour working week with no reductions in pay. This would not merely be a repeat of Europe's bloated welfare states but would eat up virtually the whole of the United States's GDP.
