The reason only RFK Jr is talking about it is because the other 2 have a track record otherwise. Biden at least is willing to look at tax changes to help close the gap. Trump is going old school tax cut and spend. And as long as entitlements and military are off the board, there isn't enough of a budget left to make a meaningful difference.
