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.

  • Single payer is great. Would get these unhealthy as people into the doctor and dentist office (if dental is covered).
  • Living wage is needed. Let's be real, there's always going to be people in society that can't or won't advance their skills high enough to get good paying jobs.
  • I don't know about UBI right now.
  • I haven't read to much on Baby Bonds.
  • Free college? Kinda. I say that community college should be free for trade school or general education.
  • Daycare is too damn expensive. Yes, I agree with Warren.
  • Cancel all student debt is a must. This shyt ain't getting paid back. Cancel that shyt and push students towards STEM, trades, or general education at community colleges. If they for sure know they're ready for college, then they can go to a university.
