Bernie supporters say they don't care about his dream selling, so they going to keep buying into his bullshyt until the end.

You have brilliant economic minds callin out his nonsense and all he's going to do is throw is hand in the air and talk mindlessly about billionaires and their "powa" on wall street.

Bernie Sanders supporters don't care if it's realistic or not.

You mean the thread where that article was posted and everyone, including Sanders supporters said bullshyt? You guys need to stop being so damn bitter that people don't agree with you and try to win them over with ideas instead of whining about their supposed "irrationality." "None of this guy's economic claims." That would be great if Sanders originated that article, but he did not. Do you want me to attribute every stupid Clinton surrogate to Hillary? Second, there is ample evidence to support his healthcare plan and even Bill Clinton supported it a couple of years ago.

But go ahead, list the Sanders economic policies that are not feasible that he specifically laid out. What? Oh that's right, you got nothing.

Thats because Bernie has nothing. He just yells in his old man voice "Billionaires blah blah blah, Wall Street blah blah blah, Speculation blah blah blah" and doesnt give any actual details on how his free everything plans are getting paid for.

A bunch of advisers to those corporatist fukkwit sellouts Obama and Clinton say Bernie's numbers "don't add up". Big fukking surprise.

Bullshyt..

We can spend trillions on wars but when someone wants to spend $60B to make college affordable. And to tax speculation of the parasites in the financial system, lift the cap to make social security last longer, then these people go crazy. And by these people I mean, those in the establishment

 

[wire28]

Bernies economic plan can't fail. Once he becomes president Wall Street and the billionaires will be lining up to help pay for everything after Election Day it's easy street

Krugman responds:




Worried Wonks
I’ve tweeted this out, but want to point out that this is a pretty big deal: Four former Democratic chairs of the Council of Economic Advisers have put out a letter warning that Bernie Sanders’s economic program contains a very worrisome amount of voodoo:

We are concerned to see the Sanders campaign citing extreme claims by Gerald Friedman about the effect of Senator Sanders’s economic plan—claims that cannot be supported by the economic evidence. Friedman asserts that your plan will have huge beneficial impacts on growth rates, income and employment that exceed even the most grandiose predictions by Republicans about the impact of their tax cut proposals.

As much as we wish it were so, no credible economic research supports economic impacts of these magnitudes. Making such promises runs against our party’s best traditions of evidence-based policy making and undermines our reputation as the party of responsible arithmetic. These claims undermine the credibility of the progressive economic agenda and make it that much more difficult to challenge the unrealistic claims made by Republican candidates.​

In Sanders’s case, I don’t think it’s ideology as much as being not ready for prime time — and also of not being willing to face up to the reality that the kind of drastic changes he’s proposing, no matter how desirable, would produce a lot of losers as well as winners.

And if your response to these concerns is that they’re all corrupt, all looking for jobs with Hillary, you are very much part of the problem.
