1. Bernie pulling that list out of his pocket during the CNN Town Hall was a boss move.

3. I haven't seen it yet.

Now you have me wanting to

5. It was a PR stunt. Two sheets of paper telling how he's going to finance more than $50 TRILLION?

He said it was going on his website last night. I can't find it, anyone have the link?

7. Took all of 5 seconds to Google it.

11. That's not what he handed to Chris Cuomo last night. That's been on his site for quite some time....

Plus, the numbers don't add up.

The first one for example, he's talking about $1.6 trillion in current student debt, but his taxes on Wall Street "Gambling"* will raise $2.4 trillion over ten years. Assuming that the tax generation is uniform (even though it won't be) that's only $240 million per year, the $1.6 trillion will take seven years to be raised, more like eight or nine.

That's just the first on his list. I'm not going to bother with the rest of them.

His "medicare for all" is a LOT more complicated and 20 times more expensive.

12. It's been on his site for quite some time? Really?

Because it references the Yale study on Medicare for All that was released on February 15th.

2. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread Donkees.

6. Sanders says he will create 20 million jobs uninformed people believe him. That's what's important

[George II]

9. Yes, INFORMED people know that there are only 9 million people unemployed, and since...

...he wants stricter limits on immigration, where are those other 11 million people coming from?

10. I thought it was clever that he calls the higher payroll tax a "premium"

I bet his opponents in the primary and beyond don’t call it a premium.

8. Interesting - of the 30 references used by "The Lancet", none are current....

....only two were from 2019, all the others are from 2018 or older, some way back from 2007.

ALL were from before he "wrote the damn bill."
