\n“Free\u201d college and medicare, universal child care, housing for all, and the Green New Deal. These are just a few of the tremendously expensive planks in Bernie’s platform. Exactly where the money to pay for all of this will come from is unclear, but that matters not to the FSA. Why should it- they (mostly) pay no taxes and get their free stuff, and the Bern want to give them more. The fact this will beggar the country doesn’t matter. The NY Post Editorial Board takes Bernie to task over this. Read on.<\/p>\n

\u2018Pay with Unicorn Dust\u2019<\/h3>\n

By: HANNAH BLEAU<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New York Post editorial board unleashed on socialist senator and Democrat frontrunner Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Friday, ripping his grandiose plans to spend trillions and drastically expand the size of government and mocking his recently released fact sheet \u2014 which supposedly addresses cost concerns of his various proposals \u2014 as not even passing the \u201claugh test.\u201d<\/p>\n

The editorial board took aim at Sanders over his recently released fact sheet, in which he attempts to explain how he will fund his \u201cmajor\u201d multitrillion-dollar campaign proposals like \u201cfree\u201d college, universal child care, housing for all, and the Green New Deal. Summed up, Sanders plans to pay for his costly proposals by increasing taxes (and creating new ones), enacting penalties on the fossil fuel industry, and slashing military spending. He also contends that his $16.3 trillion Green New Deal plan will create 20 million jobs, thereby resulting in a new tax base and additional government revenue.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNo one\u2019s surprised that the numbers don\u2019t remotely add up \u2014 or even pass the laugh test,\u201d the Post\u2019s editorial board writes, noting that his fact sheet only covers 10-year costs for a handful of his major proposals:<\/p>\n

Independent estimates from progressive outfits like the Urban Institute put the price for Medicare for All at well over $30 trillion. Sanders insists it will cost half that because he\u2019ll magically cut costs.<\/p>\n

It adds up to easily doubling what the federal government spends now.<\/p>\n

And all his new taxes only bring in about half what he means to spend.<\/p>\n

Assuming they work as intended: Of course he pretends they wouldn\u2019t slow the economy in the least. (Hey, it worked in \u2026 well, nowhere, but Bernie doesn\u2019t care.)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The scary part is Bernie currently is leading the Dem pack, and it is anticipated he will do well on Super Tuesday, and pick up a bunch more delegates.<\/p>\n
