Like all progressives, Sanders isn't really interested in helping people, just in helping himself. (One cannot be genuinely interested in helping people and be a progressive.)
Oops. Formatting problem. Should look like this:
His plan and costs include:
*Medicare (single-payer healthcare plan): $15 trillion
*Social Security (increase benefits and bolster solvency): $1.2 trillion
*Infrastructure (Rebuild roads, bridges and airports): $1 trillion
*College Affordability (Tuition-free public schools and favorable loan refinancing): $750 billion
*Paid Leave Fund (Allow workers paid family and medical leave) $319 billion
*Bolster private pension funds (to prevent companies from cutting pensions): $29 billion
*Youth jobs initiative ($1 million jobs for disadvantaged youth): $5.5 billion
The payment for these programs would require stealing money and property from millions of Americans and transferring that stolen money to people who have no right to it.
Is Ben Carson going to be his running mate?
Keep in mind that government programs ALWAYS cost more than originally estimated (not to mention they make matters worse). A lot more.
Bernie, you said: You dont necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants or of 18 different pairs of sneakers when children are hungry in this country.
So let me get this straight, Bernie . . . you're going to set up an agency or a czar to determine how many kinds of deodorant, and how much of it, can be permitted by law?
Will you do the same with toilet paper? I mean look how many brands of toilet paper there are. Shall we just set up a monopoly of one company, or better yet, a government monopoly, to produce exactly the right amount of toilet paper, or otherwise limit the amount of toilet paper that gets produced?
Are you going to hire Michael Gruber to be the guy who figures out the correct amount of toilet paper that people should be allowed to use? He's smart. He teaches at MIT. So why shouldn't we put him in charge of figuring out exactly how much of everything should or shouldn't be produced for the American people?
Have you been to socialist Venezuela lately, Bernie? They seem to have solved the problem of too many toilet paper brands. Because right now there is no toilet paper to be had at all in socialist Venezuela."
So tell me Bernie, what exactly will you do to feed starving children by reducing the amount of toilet paper we have in this country? And by the way, when you close all the toilet paper companies, how will the people who used to work at them feed their own starving children?
Bernie? . . . .
It’s the schools! Stop them from indoctrinating the young that socialism is good and state thievery is just.

Not to mention the paper he wrote where he said that every woman dreams of being gang-raped by three men.
Sanders is just emulating Obama...promising them freebies, for votes.
“Liberalism is Communism served by the drink.” — P.J. O’Rourke
Democrats and socialists are all about using OPM (other peoples money) to buy votes and political favors.
Rarely do they advocate using their own money or resources.
Socialism: Envy used to justify Greed for the “Greater Good” and a complete abomination of Charity.
“The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” — Margaret Thatcher.
Greece is proof that the Iron Lady was right.
Robbing from Peter to pay Paul will always insure you of Paul’s vote.

Hence my sig line...
the amount of psychopathology needed to think that that was a good idea is overwhelming:
1)gratification of various types of pathological dependency
2)feelings of envy and inferiority
3)paranoid perceptions of victimization
4)manic delusions of grandeur
5)desire for power, domination and revenge
6)infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation
