How Bernie Sanders would remake the whole U.S. economy (FREE STUFF)

"Medicare for all," or single-payer healthcare funded by the government. This would be a gargantuan change that would put health insurers (which employ more than half a million people) out of business, end employer-provider insurance and disrupt many other elements of the healthcare system. It would cost the government somewhere between $1.4 trillion and $2.8 trillion per year, according to the Center for a Responsible Federal Budget. The government spends about $4 trillion today, so Sanders plan would add sharply to that.

The Rebuild America Act.This would fund the sort of infrastructure development President Obama is a big fan of, even though hes been unable to get such a bill through Congress. Sanders wants to spend about $100 billion per year constructing or shoring up roads, bridges, ports, runways and other types of facilities. To pay for it, he’d tax corporate money being held in offshore tax havens”which would require a new law forcing that money back home, plus aggressive enforcement.

College for all. This isn't exactly free college, as some reports suggest. But Sanders wants to make tuition free at all public universities, leaving students to pay for room, board and other living expenses. Public schools would have to help students from low-income families meet 100% of their financial needs. (Wealthier kids could still pay exorbitant fees to attend private schools.) T

Dear Uncle Samderclaus,

I want a snowmobile, an ATV, night vision goggles, Class III body armor, a propane BBQ and a BB gun. I don’t need college or healthcare.

Yours sincerely “Ralphie” TigersEye

Ironically, the bad jobs economy has taught Millennials not to depend on an employer for health care. The government will never go out of business so there’s greater security in depending on the government for health care. If the Dems designed it that way, it was quite clever. The flip side, of course, is if the government is in charge of your health, they’ll use all their force to coerce you into their demands or threaten to cut off your health care.

Burney looked so mundane compared to Hillary’s screaming yellow Mao jacket last night.

He heeds to show up in the next debate with a tie dye Grateful Dead shirt.

“A liberal’s paradise would be a place where everybody has
guaranteed employment, free comprehensive healthcare,
free education, free food, free housing,
free clothing, free utilities, and only law enforcement has guns.”

And believe it or not, such a place does indeed already exist: It’s called Prison.”

Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Phoenix

Clinton's proposals, in contrast to Sanders', are mostly incremental.

The voters, right and left, have run out of patience with "incremental".

That in a nutshell is the story of this election.
