White House hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday released a $2.5 trillion plan to guarantee housing for every American.
Sanders said the plan would guarantee every American regardless of income a fundamental right to a safe, decent, accessible, and affordable home and would be paid for by a wealth tax on the top one-tenth of 1 percent of income earners.
There is virtually no place in America where a full-time minimum wage worker can afford a decent two bedroom apartment. At a time when half of our people are living paycheck to paycheck, this is unacceptable, he said. For too long the federal government has ignored the extraordinary housing crisis in our country. That will end when I am president.
Sanderss plan seeks to invest $1.48 trillion over 10 years in the National Affordable Housing Trust Fund to build and maintain 7.4 million quality, affordable and accessible housing units that he says will eliminate the gap in affordable housing for the lowest-income renters. It would also invest another $400 billion to build 2 million mixed-income social housing units.

Is there ANYTHING those 1 percenters can't pay for? They sure are loaded.
Sanders says he would guarantee every American regardless of income a fundamental right..."
Since when do "RIGHTS" cost $2.5 TRILLION? The rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights didn't cost any of us a single cent.

Well the right to keep and bear arms, which is mentioned in the Constitution does cost money. Is Bernie proposing to buy everyone a firearm? If not, why not?

Which character from Animal Farm does Bernie most closely resemble?
Major An old boar whose speech about the evils perpetrated by humans rouses the animals into rebelling. His philosophy concerning the tyranny of Man is named Animalism by his followers. He also teaches the song "Beasts of England" to the animals.
Snowball A boar who becomes one of the rebellion's most valuable leaders. After drawing complicated plans for the construction of a windmill, he is chased off of the farm forever by Napoleon's dogs and thereafter used as a scapegoat for the animals' troubles.
Napoleon A boar who, with Snowball, leads the rebellion against Jones. After the rebellion's success, he systematically begins to control all aspects of the farm until he is an undisputed tyrant.

Why does a single person need a 2 bedroom apartment?
Two minimum wage folks can get a one bedroom and sleep on the floor.
Family? You make minimum wage, dont have kids.
Get some skills and make more money first.
Oh yeah, cut out the smokes, cokes and wokes. Stop smoking, eating junk food and buy regular instead of “organic”.
The rediculous il-logic of Bernie is just too much.
