>Also the Bernie number is $10T over 10 years not $100T,
Nope, medicare for all will literally cost at least 30 trillion over the next 10 years by his own admission. Bernie Sanders says that Medicare for all will cost AT LEAST 30 trillion:

That's not even counting estimates of Green New Deal, federal jobs guarantee, etc:

>Medicare for all: 30-40 trillion
>Green new deal: 16.5 trillion
>Federal jobs guarantee: $30.1 trillion.
>Student loan forgiveness: $3 trillion
>Expand social security: $1.8 trillion
>Expanded housing programs: $2.5 trillion
>Paid family leave: $1.6 trillion
>Infrastructure: $1 trillion
>General K-12 spending: 800 billion
>Increased public school salaries: 400 billion
Total costs of all of Bernie's new proposed programs put together: 97.5 trillion

That is _on top_ of current federal government expenditures over the next decade of $60 trillion, and 30 trillion of state government expenditures. And there is already a $15 trillion
dollar budget deficit over the next ten years. So $113 trillion dollar deficit over the next ten years

His taxes, by his own proposals, only cover about $23 trillion.

So, in net, a 90 trillion dollar deficit over the next ten years.

Bernie's economic advisor, Stephanie Kelton, says we can pay for this by just printing more money. And there won't be any consequences. So why not print $200 trillion? or $300 trillion? Why stop at printing 90 trillion dollars to pay for Bernie's social programs?

/leftypol/ here, /biz/ will defend bailing out banks but doesn't actually want money to be in the hands of everday citizens


We could print enough money to make everyone a millionaire and solve poverty, even economists agree.

But /biz/ is full of bootlickers so they don't want to help poor people become wealthy by expanding the state to look out for working people's interests!

Communism will win!
