The leftist site Vox published a piece on Tuesday that comprehensively delineated the staggering amount of money the socialist policies of politicians like Sen. Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez espouse.
The Mercatus Center estimated that Sanders’s Medicare-for-all plan would cost the government $32 trillion between now and 2028. The liberal Urban Institute estimates that Sanders’ single-payer health plan would add $32 trillion in federal costs over the same period.
Next: the socialist idea of guaranteeing jobs paying $15 an hour for anyone who wants one. Riedl cites the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which estimated the cost could run $6.8 trillion over the next decade.
Infrastructure and student loans? Noting that Senate Democrats have promised $1 trillion for new infrastructure, and House Democrats want to pay of the entire $1.4 trillion in student loan debt, Riedl writes that would cost $42.5 trillion on top of the $12.4 trillion baseline deficit.- READ MORE

Once more…for old times’ sake: @SenSanders tells us why we can’t trust American media. Back in the 1980’s. #PodestaEmails7 #StillSanders pic.twitter.com/RzYFgqA9e0

“And you can be damn sure that when you own and control this country, you own and control the media.
“Now, we do have a free media,” Sanders continued. “A free society.”
“And, for a mere six or seven billion dollars, anyone in this room could probably buy CBS.” – READ MORE
