Even Anderson Cooper’s soft ball interview with Bernie Sanders reveals Bernie’s extremism.

See here:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bernie-sanders-democratic-presidential-candidate-anderson-cooper-60-minutes-2020-02-23/

(EXCERPT)

Cooper: 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.

How much will that cost?

Sanders: Obviously, those are expensive propositions, but we have done our best on issue after issue— in paying for them.

Cooper: Do you know how all— how much though? I mean, do you have a price tag for— for all of this?

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.

Cooper: That’s just for Medicare for All, you’re talking about?

Sanders: That’s just Medicare for All, yes.

Cooper: Do you have— a price tag for all of these things?

Sanders: No, I don’t. We try to— no, you mentioned making public colleges and universities tuition free and cancelling all student debt, that’s correct. That’s what I want to do. We pay for that through a modest tax on Wall Street speculation.

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?

Sanders: Well, I can’t— you know, I can’t rattle off to you ever nickel and every dime. But we have accounted for— you— you talked about Medicare for All. We have options out there that will pay for it.

Really great how much more money they have to blow on social programs and infrastructure when the USA pays for the umbrella protecting them from harm.

I have a friend whose son spent a college semester as an exchange student in Denmark. He said everything was horrifyingly expensive.

"I think we should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway," Sanders said

Fine, let's look at them - two out of the three are NATO members and the third is closely affiliated with NATO. All fall under the umbrella of protection provided since the end of WWII by US taxpayers.

Funding socialist waste is far easier when you don't need to contribute much to your own defense. Unfortunately, US taxpayers are already busy paying for other countries socialist bungling - we can't afford to pay for our own.

Kinda funny how Sanders is singing the praises of countries that are comprised almost completely of White Europeans and where there is little diversity
