You could pay politicians $0/year and it would have literally 0 impact on the federal budget but it would prevent any working class person from taking those jobs.

The US is enormous and cutting spending to reduce the deficit would require deep cuts in wide areas, not slopulism.

The thing about the Harvard grad student strike debate is both sides are pretty unsympathetic.

On the one hand, Harvard grad students are paid more than every other grad student in the US + they get to go to Harvard on top of that.

On the other hand, Harvard has $68 billion.
