Not counting numismatic value, it would have taken about 10,000,000,000 (10 billion) of those 100 trillion Zimbabwe dollar notes, iow, ZWD 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00 in currency to exchange for a US dollar, by the time Zimbabwe abandoned its own currency.

As Bernie says, there’s plenty of money in this country.

His head is up his anal exit passageway. He plans to take all their money from those who earned it legally, and leave it in the hands of criminals (who don’t pay taxes), congressmen (who passed loopholes that they know how to use) and the ruling party elite (which knows damn well it will not have to cough up a cent.)

You and I will pay through the nose. Our money will go to lazy slobs who vote democrat.

We need to invade Zimbabwe and take just ONE of those notes! Problem=SOLVED!

Bernie intends to shut down the military, and give the money to the bureau of printing and engraving.

All that matters for leftard loons is that their intentions are good, and they feel so good inside about it.

AND that whatever is proposed, it is environmentally responsible.

AND that we also still have the “right” to kill as many babies as possible.

I am sending an urgent email to good ole Bernie on that.

We pay for that through a modest tax on Wall Street speculation.

Shameless lie. There most optimistic estimate of this “Wealth tax comes up with $600 billion over ten years.

Leaving Bernie $29,400,000,000 to tax to pay just for “Medicare for all” Most optimistic estimate is it will cost $60,000,000,000 to pay for all of Bernie's current schemes

Where do you all think that money is going to come from?

Pretty much everything you own is the answer.

For example, US current total investment in 401K right now is $28.3 trillion. So Bernie will take that away, roll it into Soc Security, spend it, and leave you an IOU for future Governments to figure out how to play

An that only gets them about half way to paying for their schemes

No, actually, you are wrong. Sanders is a bona fide communist. He might possibly shade a bit on the spectrum to the less scary sounding socialism, which allows some level of private property, but he is essentially communist. Communists like Sanders really are updates to the ancient feudal system where the lord owns everything and the serfs just work the land and owe everything except subsistence necessities to the lord. Communists want to be at the top of the modern feudal society.

We may as well pay for it with carved coconut shells and pretty pebbles we find on the beach!

Instead of ‘Save a Bullet for Yourself’ we’ll all need to save a whole coconut to bonk ourselves on the head and put us out of our misery!

What a useless old Commie this doofus is. But, Bernie? Thanks for helping to peel back the mask of today’s Socialist Democrat Party! Much appreciated!

Trump 2020 Landslide Ahead! :)

That strikes me as a potential weak spot if/when Sanders winds up as the Democratic nominee against President Donald Trump.

Sanders is a sentient gaggle of weak spots.

The entire military budget currently is $700 Billion. Bernie’s crazy ideas are currently running at over $60 Trillion. But hey, we won’t quibble and nickle and dime about just tens of Trillions right?

Sounds like a winner to me. Also he should resurrect the idea of the trillion dollar coin. I can’t for the life of me figger out why we abandoned THAT idea our Savior had. All praise to the Mighty Barack!

Here’s the plan: we invade Zimbabwe, take all their cash, use it to buy up all the platinum in the WORLD, make a trillion dollar coin for everyone in the country, and then every kid can go to college, get an abortion, house five Mexican immigrants per house, pay for everyone’s healthcare fifty million times over and still have enough left over to buy everyone solar panels for their gold engraved homes filled with free internet and large basement areas with sick, sweet-a$$ X-box systems for all the stay at home art degree graduates who, along with their parents and everyone will then elect Bernie “emperor for LIFE”!

Viva la Revolution! (Oh and free weed for everyone)

How much will it all cost? Every single penny that everyone in the country has, and then some. All that you own, all that you will ever earn. Unless you have some rank in government.

I’m quite sure Bernie thinks we can just print all the money all this would require. It’s what socialist autocrats do the world over and it always brings the same failure.

Again. Let Bernie be Bernie.

Republicans need to start saying ALL Democrats are just like Bernie. There is very little difference.

MAKE BERNIE THE DEMOCRAT BRAND!!
