(67,782 posts)Plus, the numbers don't add up.
The first one for example, he's talking about $1.6 trillion in current student debt, but his taxes on Wall Street "Gambling"* will raise $2.4 trillion over ten years. Assuming that the tax generation is uniform (even though it won't be) that's only $240 million per year, the $1.6 trillion will take seven years to be raised, more like eight or nine.
That's just the first on his list. I'm not going to bother with the rest of them.
His "medicare for all" is a LOT more complicated and 20 times more expensive.
