Can America afford Sanders’ big plans? YES
Can America afford Bernie Sanders’ big plans? - The Boston Globe


one last time. I don't want to hear another person say that talking point nonsense about sanders not being specific when talking about his plans. YES HE IS and see below.
How much do Sanders’ plans cost?
Sanders’ campaign makes no attempt to hide the big sticker-cost of its “political revolution,” nor does it pretend that universal programs can be paid for with budget gimmicks.

Every major spending proposal comes with a matching tax plan.

• New infrastructure spending is covered by a crackdown on corporations funneling money through tax havens.

range of different taxes, including raising income taxes across the board, creating new 50 and 54 percent tax brackets for multimillion dollar earners, increasing the amount businesses pay as part of payroll taxes, and taxing capital gains as normal income, among other tweaks.

Look across all these tax plans, as the center-right Tax Foundation has done, and you find that the total cost to taxpayers would be around $1.4 trillion per year over the next 10 years.

Considering that federal taxes currently amount to about $3 trillion annually, this is a substantial jump.

Hillary stans " Bu bu bernie isnt specific"

Black hillary stans "but but bernie isnt for black people"

LIke hillary is or has been? haa haa. please show us where. if you have proof i'm fine with that. but i need proof.
Notice, no where did i say bern was down with black folks. SOME of his ideas will/can help a lot of black people. thats for sure.

how about hils plans? wait. what are her plans that would assist black folks?

lets give an example on how these debates go between Hil and bern.

Bern starts off with a bunch of stats(which are true, no one can refute that) about america and how bad of shape we're still in. which is a result of income inequality. the ultra rich keep getting richer and richer off the backs of the middle/poor class. is that true?YES.

Then he gets specifically into black issues and stats to prove them. he admits its systematic racism. But bern believes(and this is HIS THEORY). that if you fix the income gap, you give free college, you have zillions of extra infrastructure jobs, you raise the minimum wage, you have healthcare for everyone. You will succeed in helping a lot of black people since they are in the low middle, to poor classes. these thigns will help those people out alot. now is it directed towards blacks specifically? NOPE. its just like obamas policies in the sense that he could never say I'm doing X for black people. cause if he did, all the whties in america would go crying foul. which would get nothing done. i know, its a shame that the majority of americans in this country are racist at some level. but thats just the reality. so in berns mind. you aint changing that reality. but what you can change are the income gaps and fix a few things, that will ultimately help black folks. and at the same time help the middle class white folks(and some blacks of course). so they wont wine anymore.

Bern is saying to Chi town thuggs. listen ... if i give you jobs(tons of infrastructure jobs, medicare for all = a government sponsored program, means healthcare jobs would shift to the government. guess who hires the most black folks and pays us the best with the least discrimination? Public sector aka govvy jobs. especially women(check hillary).
He's telling the Chitown lil homies. look, if i raise minimum wage to something that can keep a roof over your head and food in your stomach, then you can move up if you go to college FOR FREE, and you dont have to worry about losing your healthcare if you are stuck in a dead end job you want to get out of. while also offering you these new jobs. that should be more than enough to keep you off the streets. in addition, i will stop arresting yall and giving yall records that are killing your chance of normal work life(with a record) for low level weed possession. Now chi thugs, would this keep a lot of yall off the block? the answer is ... probably. because the reason, the main reason we're on the block in any city is because we're ULTRA BROKE, with little to no alternatives. you give us alternatives, we will choose other options. sure there will always be some thugs out there. but it doesnt have to be and remain an epidemic.

And Hillary responds with...I'm not a one issue politician...Women...women...women... and oh yeah... Black folks, i know yall are dealing with real racism. i'll say it out loud. one issue can't fix all that racism. THEN END>

what did Hil say she was going to do to assist americans? what did she say she was going to do to assist americans that would even trickle down to blacks? Please someone give me examples. and dont make it up. what has this lady SAID with her own mouth.

I'm not hearing much if anything personally. but i may be mistaken. please prove me wrong.

So one more time. i'm not telling you to vote for any white person. but lets be clear. you cant say i'm voting for hillary if you're black and do so with a straight face at this point. the lady hasnt told you what she would do to help you out. so now that tells me the only reason you are voting for her. is because her husband played the horn on TV, and Hil did the naynay.

Plans that rely on tax proposals that have to remain static for 10 years when a president can't even be in office for more than 8 are a little unrealistic. ESPECIALLY coming up against a gerrymandered Republican Congress :francis:

Hillary is weasely but u need to get off this "LEAVE BERNIE ALONE" bullshyt. U can believe in someone without shielding them from any kind of critical scrutiny

I don't think they are physically capable when it concerns the bold.

Like I keep saying, it seems as though his plans are great, if he gets exactly what he wants. The problem is that isn't going to happen, so where does he go from there. I just want to know what plan B is when plan A inevitably gets held up, and the response is always :dame:

I think Sanders has a lot of great ideas. He just has no idea whatsoever how to realistically and responsibly implement them.

He is also a little too single minded for my comfort. I don't see him being very good at shyt like energy policy, foreign policy or pretty much anything geopolitical. His ideas are mainly focused domestically, which is good... but with how global the world is, and all of our issues abroad, we need someone who can navigate that. I guess he will have advisors and a cabinet, but we need a real leader and expert in that regard.

Personally I don't think Bernie is being really honest about the cost of all of his proposals. I don't know if he is just being too optimistic or if he is trying to lessen the blow of just how much going full Norway would actually cost especially in terms of increased taxes but the bill would be much larger than Bernie is stating.
I also don't think he has a shot in hell of getting any of it done even if he were to become President. So the question then becomes just what is Bernie (and his supporters) willing to compromise on from his agenda and just how large of a compromise would it be? I can never get Bernie supporters to give examples of where they are cool with him capitulating for some reason though.
Because to think that in the first 4 years of a Sanders administration we would get single payer and free state college means you no clue about how this government actually functions.

He just throws numbers out there (when he actually has one) and hopes people believe it. When the country can't afford his tax increases placed on the wealthy, he won't want to scrap his ideas and his costs will get passed down the chain. Dumb liberals haven't the slightest clue about anything.

This is your typical Sanders supporter.:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:.

you can do all the critical scrutiny on berns you want. just dont do it trying to prop up Hil who aint saying anything really. especially in regards to black folks and what she would actually DO. or attempt to DO.
