“About tree-fiddy.”

Or maybe “Toidy tree”

Old saw: Socialism is great until you run out of other people’s money.

Communism is what you get when you run out of other people’s money.

Bernie’s 60m answer is proof he’s a communist: he doesn’t care where the money comes from - it doesn’t matter to a communist, the State will just take whatever they need from whoever has it, and compel whoever can perform a service into performing that service. Communists will admit they want a cashless (i.e.: no money) economy; money simply doesn’t matter to them, so it’s not something they worry about when deciding which fantasies to implement.

It seems like the mainstream media is in an all-out attack mode against Bernie today. His views of never been a secret but they have now pulled out all stops and will publicly attack him for his socialist views. Sounds like Bloomberg’s money is reaching out to the mainstream media Outlets.

Bernie-Bots don't care how much any of it costs, they want Communism, and Bernie is their guy to bring it.

“The Sanders number is not per annum.”

Correct, yes.

Issue though is it really doesn’t matter.
Federal spending is already about 50% over revenue.
We’re already spending at an untenable pace, and whatever Progressives want to spend in addition is even more ... and a communist like Bernie just doesn’t care what spending is, they’re just going to plow ahead toward Utopia until the system crashes & burns. Bernie gave an answer because he was goaded into one; his follow-up amounted to “I really don’t care how much anything costs.”

Trillions of dollars to Sanders are “nickels and dimes”.

There was a time when $30 Trillion used to be real money right? Chuckle.
Hey can we have cocktails on my $10 Billion yacht sometime?

Why sweat the details? “We have plenty of money” is always their answer.

This answer from Sanders would only hurt his chances with thinking people who won’t vote for him anyway. It won’t hurt him one bit with the non-thinking demographic that he wins hands-down.

Bernie and his ilk would pry gold dental work out of the corpses of their political enemies to make ends meet. That’s just how they roll.

Sanders is not an idiot. He’s a capitalist. He is selling the feces in his head to others that will buy it. The buyers are just too stupid to know what they are being fed.

Did FDR know how much WW2 would cost the US on December 11, 1941?

Did LBJ know how much his “Great Society” would cost?

Please God, please please make Democraps stupid enough to nominate this idiot, make them even dumber than when they nominated Hillary.

Could happen. The party is trying to cheat him again. You would think his disciples would be infuriated if that happened again, but as you know Bernie endorsed Hillary last time.

Because Bolshevik Bernie has no intention of doing any of that stuff. Once he’s in power the iron boot of Marxism will come down and people will do what they’re told or it’s off to the Gulag if they aren’t just put up against a wall and shot.

Cooper: But you say you don't know what the total price is, but you know how it's gonna be paid for. How do you know it's gonna be paid for if you don't know how much the price is?

I think I'm going to go outside and see if I can see the flying pigs! Imagine that, a CNN reporter using logic!

$30 trillion -- JUST for Medicare For All

For comparison, the entire total U.S. debt is $23 trillion.
