There's profound skepticism in Congress about Sanders' ability to get his agenda passed. Two-thirds of Democrats in the Senate have not signed on to Medicare for All, which would cost an estimated $30 trillion to $40 trillion over ten years. And that's just one of Bernie Sanders' many proposals. There's also free public college, cancellation of all student debt, a federal job guarantee, and a Green New Deal to rapidly reduce carbon emissions.
Anderson Cooper: How much will that cost?
Bernie Sanders: Obviously, those are expensive propositions, but we have done our best on issue after issue-- in paying for them.
Anderson Cooper: Do you know how all-- how much though? I mean, do you have a price tag for-- for all of this?
Bernie Sanders: We do. I mean, you know, and-- and-- the price tag is-- it will be substantially less than letting the current system go. I think it's about $30 trillion.
Anderson Cooper: That's just for Medicare for All, you're talking about?
Bernie Sanders: That's just Medicare for All, yes.
Anderson Cooper: Do you have-- a price tag for all of these things?
Bernie Sanders: No, I don't.

The interview that Bernie had with Cooper, the longer cut, Bernie deflects constantly if Cooper attempts to pin him down on specifics. Bernie has turned this into an art form.
His answer to a bevy of questions is usually "Whataboutist" in nature.
“but we have done our best on issue after issue— in paying for them.” So that is why we have a $20 trillion debt with nearly another $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities? This man is an unmitigated liar, buffoon and jackass. FU Bernie.
Bernie:
Abolish private health care that not even European countries do.
Abolish ICE.
Let even murderous criminals in prison vote.
M4A for illegals combined with him wanting a moratorium on deporting illegals.
And on and on...
Bernie’s answer: Rich People Bad.
An estimate of my own;
Our G.N.P.
Look, I think he fudges too, but does anyone think any of the other candidates
would fess up to not knowing how they'd finance their purchase of the voters.
They're all a bunch of 'pie in the sky' cons.
Hopefully enough sane folks will go to the polls and shut them all down.
Typical leftist - all about the idea and ideals, no thought of consequences. Disgusting that someone would even consider leading with such a philosophy.
Bernie is an amazing capitalist.
Amazing.
The top of his head literally is hinged. He opens it up and scoops out a handful of steaming feces. He feeds it to morons who give him money. He gives that money to his wife and family.
Bernie sells Bernie’s “$hit for brains” and it sells.
Bernie is an amazing capitalist.
This kind of stuff is sort of scary.
This is like a 6-year-old thinking about money.
It was still nice to see “Mayor Pete” grill him about the costs...
Bernie’s vision for health care is giving illegals as much free health care as they want, and anyone over 65 who gets a health issue gets told to go home, suck it up, or just die
Here’s hoping it costs the Dems about 48 states.
Leftist response to you: “But, but, muh feelz! Reeeee.”
check your numbers.. unfunded is over 200 trillion I believe.
Who grilled Mayor Pete?
Maybe the Corona virus will take me out before that happens...
Cali Gov Newsome’s making doctors write “Prescriptions for Houses” is a-n-o-t-h-e-r stale decrepit “Progressive” idea.....from the horse and buggy days.
===========================================
Then there's Bernie saying: “I will be calling for public ownership of the telephone company.”
So much for “Progress”......Bernie is stuck on stupid......he thinks “the telephone company” is still AT&T.
REALITY CHECK There are literally 1,500 telepanies cooperate together to deliver the best networks of any nation with high speed internet and WiFi access almost everywhere.phone companies serving our nation...... and that’s not counting the copious number of data center providers, metro cable providers, and networks built within networks.
The pre-1984 ATT broke up into Regional Bells, such as Pac Bell, Bell South, Bell Atlantic, etc. And since then, we’ve seen the rise of Verizon, T-Mobile USA, etc.
Bernie hasn’t the foggiest idea how this web of companies works together to deliver the best networks of any nation with high speed internet and WiFi access almost everywhere.
=======================================================
We need to have an entrance exam for Presidential candidates ....and for all public offices.
True, but just a “rounding error” we are told....
Buttigieg is hawking Medicare for all.
How does he plan on paying for that?
Nah commies will always be protected..they end up with the best treatment and all the money while the rest of us have to fight for a piece of cheese
I have a question for socialist Sanders, “how will it feel to be the one to trigger American Civil War 2.0”?
