Kevin Drum has an article up, with graph, that shows how incredibly unrealistic the Sanders campaign’s economic projections are and before you summarily dismiss Mr. Drum, he actually mentions in the article he’s gone easy on Sanders because he likes his vision.

I'm sure we’ll see a ‘No we can't’ or two posted in comments.

Gerald Friedman is predicting a decade growth we haven't seen since WWII. These projections are tied into funding Sanders Medicare-For-All plan. Mr. Friedman has been used at every turn by the Sanders and his supporters to give credence to his economic proposals.

These projections are not rooted in reality. Some highlights below, from Mr. Drum.
