His proposed tax increases would not come anywhere close to covering those costs, the centrist Tax Policy Center said Monday, and his plan would drive federal debt to “unprecedented” levels.

Now we know for sure he's no Democrat, because the deficit goes down under Democratic Presidents, not up to "unprecedented" levels. That's a designation usually reserved for Republicans.

But Sanders has already proposed so many tax hikes on the wealthy that he would have to start looking at taxpayers further down the income ladder for the additional revenue needed to make his budget plans work, the Tax Policy Center said. That, in turn, would change the distribution of winners and losers under Sanders’s plans, the group said.

But the middle class should be so glad, right? Bernie knows how to spend their money better than they do, after all. A pervasive case of Know-It-All-ism is the foundation of his entire political career.
