Crazy Bernie was on 60 MINUTES on Sunday. It may not have been a disaster, but it wasn't good for him. He actually had to admit that his MediCare for All program comes with a price tag of roughly $30 trillion dollars and that he has no idea what the price tag for his other pie-in-the-sky programs, like free college for everybody, will actually cost or how they will be paid for.
He was pretty definite that they would be paid for with a tax on "wall street speculation, " but when questioned about how do you pay for something when you don't know what it will cost he got real vague.
The Joe Biden campaign jumped right on this, as did THE THIRD WAY, an allegedly centrist Democrat group.
A CNN contributor, Ron Brownstein, is asserting that these plans would have a $60 trillion price tag. I suspect the Bernie Bros don't much care. There are, however, a lot of people in the middle who maybe do care, and that's where elections are won or lost. In the middle.
