The Sanders number is not per annum.
$30 trillion what then? The cost for the first year? The first five years?
“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.”
