    Not only is the gay thing going to hurt him in the south, his stance on Black Lives Matter is as well-

    He was asked. He answered. Some specific number of trillions over ten years. He is right. It has been done all over the Planet including the UK and down here. Surely, if 'we' can do it,Trump's USA with its most fantastic booming economy (so he says) can.

    Yeah and literally every single economist in the country says that even if you taxed the 1% at Bernies rates it isn't enough money to pay for that.

    So how is he going to pay for it?

    As Mayor Pete said, lets do the math.....Your proposals cost 10 bucks, we only have 5 bucks, even if we tax the crap out of everybody you only get 7 bucks max. Where are you gonna get the other 3 bucks?

    He did 'say something to that effect.' But he did not say, even accidentally, he 'bought' anything. He did say he supported some Dem House candidates to the tune of $M100.

    Put it up to 2%. If there is universal health care, you will not need to have any private health insurance.

    Good Lord. I didn’t feel up to it tonight so will watch/listen tomorrow while I work, but that’s hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

    You're not mistaken he said ...

    "Let's just go on the record they talk about 40 Democrats. 21 of those were people that I spent $100 million to help elect. All of the new Democrats that came in put Nancy Pelosi in charge and gave the Congress the ability to control this President. I bou.. I I got them"

    Alright lets make this easy.

    I have read from a number of sources written by those who claim to be economists that even if we garnished the ENTIRE wages of everybody in the 1% it would not be enough money to fund Bernie Sanders's proposals for medicare for all, free college tuition, and free childcare services.

    Is that a factually correct statement or a factually incorrect statement?

    Yes that is factually correct or no that is factually incorrect.

    Yes or no

    Not my snip, credit goes to @US Conservative for posting that.

    But yeah ol' Mikey messed up BAD by letting that slip out. He's lucky the Democrat media is in full blown panic mode and hates Bernie about as much as they hate Trump. If Biden were still the front runner then Bloomberg would get crucified over this by CNN.

    Yes.

    I am restricting my comments to universal health care. (But, it might interest you to know that I paid not one cent to go to Uni and neither did my kids.)

    I need to clarify that. I paid not one cent. My kids are paying off 'fees' through HECS via tax on their income when it reaches a certain level. No up-front fees.

    Largely because blacks don't like gays-even though both vote democrats.

    Also, lesbians don't like gays and both don't like transgenders.

    Sounds like this is news to you.

    So it is, as you stated, factually correct that even if we taxed the 1% for all of their wealth it would not be enough money to fund Bernie Sanders' proposal of Medicare for all.

    So how exactly is Bernie Sanders going to find the money to pay for Medicare for all? Let alone the other things he has proposed that should be free that when combined have been estimated to cost over 100 Trillion dollars over the next 10 years....

    Other various studies including recent studies by non partisan economists have said that Bernie Sanders' plans for free public college tuition, free childcare, and medicare for all, and the green new deal, will cost more money per year than the entire GDP of the United States.

    Is this factually correct or factually incorrect?

    Nope. Your question was about this:

    I agreed with you.

    But, as I said...I am restricting myself to the universal health care issue.

    An additional 1% tax on your income.

    I have made it clear....I am referring to health care only.

    Factually correct.

    Look it up yourself-if its even in writing.

    American culture is very different from the southern hemisphere.

    Nope. Do you own homework. You made the claims and asked me if I was surprised. I said I was, and asked if you had any links. I guess you can not provide any proof to support your contention, so....that is that.

    My homework is already done. Your map (whatever you can google down there) is not the territory.

    We don't believe in conspiracy theories, nor are campaigns ran out of facebook. Russia's not involved. Next.
