I can't stand it when people say he's promising "free stuff" or has no way to pay for what he's promising. Criticize the guy's ideas if you want, but Bernie's especially notable for admitting outright that this poo poo ain't free and we have to raise taxes.

Clearly 70den hasn't read the latest on Bernienomics:

quote:

Median income would soar by more than $22,000. Nearly 26 million jobs would be created. The unemployment rate would fall to 3.8%.

Those are just a few of the things that would happen if Bernie Sanders became president and his ambitious economic program were put into effect, according to an analysis given exclusively to CNNMoney. The first comprehensive look at the impact of all of Sanders' spending and tax proposals on the economy was done by Gerald Friedman, a University of Massachusetts Amherst economics professor.

This more sweeping analysis was not commissioned by the candidate, though Sanders' policy director called it "outstanding work." Friedman has worked with Sanders in the past, but has never received any compensation. The Vermont senator asked Friedman to estimate the cost of Sanders' Medicare-for-all plan -- which came out to $13.8 trillion over 10 years -- and included the analysis when he unveiled his proposal last month.

Friedman, who believes in democratic socialism like the candidate, found that if Sanders became president -- and was able to push his plan through Congress -- median household income would be $82,200 by 2026, far higher than the $59,300 projected by the Congressional Budget Office.

In addition, poverty would plummet to a record low 6%, as opposed to the CBO's forecast of 13.9%. The U.S. economy would grow by 5.3% per year, instead of 2.1%, and the nation's $1.3 trillion deficit would turn into a large surplus by Sanders' second term.

Yeah he hasn't quite gone Full Priggee yet but he's like 90% of the way here.

Is Priggee still drawing by the way? Haven't seen him posted in a while.

On the one hand, it's UMass Amherst. On the other, it's basically certain that Bernie would be good (though probably not this unrealistically good) if he did in fact manage to force his entire agenda through Congress.

Man, this is just like when the rancorous 2008 primary split the Democratic party irrevocably, allowing John McCain to win the election.

Except this time we don't have Obama. That's a pretty big difference.

What an amazing coincidence, that Kirschen would imply those dirty Arabs just happen to be racially biased against the same people squeezing them out of their homes. Sort of like how Jean Moulin just really, really hated Germans for some reason and couldn't believe his luck when he woke up one day and saw the Panzers outside.

I mean, bombing their walled-in home to the stone age when you're not bulldozing them is not exactly winning the "hearts and minds" thing.
