By First Amendment



Kevin Drum has an article up, with graph, that shows how incredibly unrealistic the Sanders campaign’s economic projections are and before you summarily dismiss Mr. Drum, he actually mentions in the article he’s gone easy on Sanders because he likes his vision.

I'm sure we’ll see a ‘No we can't’ or two posted in comments.

Gerald Friedman is predicting a decade growth we haven't seen since WWII. These projections are tied into funding Sanders Medicare-For-All plan. Mr. Friedman has been used at every turn by the Sanders and his supporters to give credence to his economic proposals.

These projections are not rooted in reality. Some highlights below, from Mr. Drum.

1. That's funny, a friend who I respect dearly has a tattoo on her arm of both a rainbow and unicorn

I dont think her attitudes about life and rights are silly at all and I dont think what Bernie wants to do is outrageous.

Actually, I think if we dont reverse the insane, INSANE level of income inequality, the whole thing is gonna go up in flames

2. Just one more dual post.

As if the Hillsters think we'll care about the whatever they dredge up. Meanwhile, all those kids run over to the other forum to talk to themselves. How funny!

3. It doesn't matter in politics.

One gets away with what the media lets them get away with.

4. Last night on "All In With Chris Hayes" on MSNBC, Chris had a guest on his

show that stated that a group of leading economists had determined that Bernie's platform that he was running on would grow the federal budget by 50%. He stated that young people who pay hardly any taxes are all excited about his candidacy but middle aged folks who would see their taxes raised to pay for it, aren't so excited about it.
