9. Bernie says your tax increases will be offset by health care savings

Ok - fair enough. So tell me - which comes first, the tax increase or the single payer health care? Tell me - which year of his administration does he plan on having free college available to all Americans and how he convinces the 31 republican governors to hand over their education budgets to make it happen? Tell me which of his lofty goals he says is "job one?" Which one will he concentrate on making a reality in that first golden year of his administration? The year when most presidents can actually accomplish something of merit.

Bernies a big picture guy not a nuts and bolts guy - without a timetable and specific plans big picture guys always end up disappointing.
