What would the U.S. look like if we implemented everyone's 2020 plans?

In this leftist paradise, we have the following:
  • M4A - single payer healthcare insurance (Sanders)
  • Federal Jobs Guarantee (Sanders)
  • Living Wage Guarantee - all entry level jobs and above guarantee at least a living wage (Sanders)
  • UBI - $1k a month every month starting at 18; swap out $1k of gov't assistance for UBI; an addition not a substitute for SS/SSDI (Yang)
  • Baby Bonds - $1k savings bond every year up until your 18 (Booker)
  • Free College - get your bachelor's for free (Sanders)
  • Universal Pre-K and Daycare - free if below federal poverty level, up to 7% of income if above (Warren)
  • Cancel all student debt - eliminate all student loans and start a $50B fund for HBCUs (Warren)
Would this make our economy more stable or less stable? Would the debt be too great to sustain and cause our creditworthiness to collapse? Would this stifle or encourage innovation (ex: automation, self-driving cars)?

If I missed any worthwhile policies, then please add.

One plan wrongly implemented could fawkup the economy and the federal amount each state will get...but Six social programs, with no explanation about long term funding will be disastrous
Not including the vast amount of fraud to be committed against each program

Don't other countries have all that? It's just revolutionary in this country.
average tax rate in sweden is 50 percent. if thats what it takes then :yeshrug: goverments gonna have to try some of this shyt one at a time

if it can be done by cutting spending, probably closing the border, and slightly raising taxes then im all for it

I'll be satisfied with just single payer, free college and the jobs guarantee. :yeshrug: If we got that, cut spending drastically and implemented modest tax increases, I think it would work.

This would be great for the main Street economy but would hurt Wall St. A bit.
Would have no effect on the US credit rating. Stifling innovation point is too hard to predict. But with so many new policies there would be avenues to start new businesses based on the more money being in consumer hands.

Americans have an irrational fear of socialist policies.

As if providing accessible healthcare, education, and better wages to the largest consumers on the planet would somehow destroy the economy.
