Of course he doesn’t! You didn’t think that this idiot would know the cost of his insanity, did you? Some polls have Sanders as the Democrat Party’s front runner, and that should terrify every rational American. The man is evil, and nuts!

Bernie Sanders: ‘I Don’t Know How Much My Plans Are Going To Cost’
Story continues below advertisementTrue to form, Sen. Bernie Sanders still can’t tell us how much his progressive utopia is going to cost the U.S. taxpayer, should he be elected president in 2020.
By Federalist, January 27, 2019:
On Friday’s edition of CBS Evening News, Democratic presidential candidate Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders admitted that he has no idea how much his package of progressive programs would cost the American taxpayer.
“Your agenda has promised free health care for everybody, free college tuition, and to pay off peoples’ college loans. The price tag for that is estimated to be $60 trillion dollars over ten years. Is that correct?” asked Norah O’Donnell of CBS Evening News.
“Well look, we have political opponents…” Sanders began before being cut off and pressed on the question.
“You don’t know how much your plan costs?” O’Donnell responded.
“You don’t know. Nobody knows. This is impossible to predict,” Sanders conceded, leaving O’Donnell stunned.
“You’re going to propose a plan to the American people and you’re not going to tell them how much it costs?” O’Donnell exclaimed.
Sanders’ comments follow previous statements he made last October, in which he argued that he doesn’t have to explain how to pay for socialized medicine.
When asked by then-CNBC’s John Harwood – who unsurprisingly now works at CNN – how a Sanders administration would generate the required revenue for the program, Sanders dismissed the question.
“You’re asking me to come up with an exact detailed plan of how every American – how much you’re going to pay more in taxes, how much I’m going to pay. I don’t think I have to do that right now,” Sanders responded.
Given Sanders’ latest interview, it doesn’t seem as if the Vermont senator has given Harwood’s question much thought.

Bernie wants to buy your vote with stuff paid for out of your wallet. Nice plan.

The cost doesn’t matter. Getting power matters.

Bernie’s legion of Commie disciples/comrades do not care how much his so-called plans will cost. His agenda is turning this Republic into a Banana Republic, as is the endeavor of the faux-Democrats. One is confident those drawing up Bernie’s totalitarian blueprint have already incorporated the cost of re-education camps, labor camps/gulags for those in disaccord with his Commie/Nazi America.

Sweden’s social welfare system is starting to collapse
under the stress of migrants who do not work and do not pay any taxes. The Swedes who do pay their taxes are voting with their feet by moving to areas with fewer migrants or emigrating altogether. Guess where the cuts are being made? On Swedish old people’s welfare

Margaret Thatcher, in a television interview for Thames TV This Week on February 5, 1976. Prime Minister Thatcher said, “…and Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They [socialists] always run out of other people’s money. It’s quite a characteristic of them.” It has been popularly paraphrased in various forms:
“The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money [to spend].”
“The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” “Eventually, socialists run out of other peoples’ money [to spend].”
That is not what teach in U.S. K-12 and higher education. They indoctrinate students with COMMUNISM is great, aka, “social justice” is great, but that could be changing too…

Trump is pretty much indifferent to which opponent they select, he will just beat any two of them.

Bernie RUMPELSTILZKIN the 2nd – (No.I is Mike RUMPELSTILZKIN)
He cannot tell about the costs of free healthcare: “You don’t know. Nobody knows. This is impossible to predict,”
But he knows for sure about the state of his and his wife’s account and their immobiles – all snatched after going into politics…

Lots of decent people were persecuted and lives ruined by McCarthy in the fifties on mere suspicion of being communist. Now the country is running wild with them

He is much like many commenters on the internet that have a solution to any problem in thirty words or less. Usually it amounts to (pass a law making someone else pay for it).
