Bernie Sanders unexpectedly released a fact-sheet Monday night explaining that he'd pay for his sweeping new government programs through new taxes and massive lawsuits against the fossil fuel industry, as well as by slashing spending on the military, among other methods.

The move sought to head off complaints from Republicans and some rival Democrats that his plans were economically unrealistic, especially after a head-turning CBS News interview in which the frustrated Vermont senator said he couldn't "rattle off to you every nickle and every dime" about his proposed expenditures.

He released his plan on his website just minutes after promising to do so during a CNN town hall.

So, he needs, at least, 90-100 trillion dollars for his plans. Just raise taxes, that should cover it. (rolling eyes)

This guy Sanders is doing everything he can to burn through the #MSM firewall. They literally quarantined his kooky Kooba comments from 60 freaking Minutes, so what does he do? “Here’s how I’m paying for my next dacha, by screwing the American public.”

By Bolshevik logic taxes imposed on oil companies do not get passed along to consumers, therefore there is no tax, regressive or otherwise.

None of its going anywhere. This is just a dystopian nightmare on steroids.

Quite simply put, America can’t afford Bernie Sanders.

Would be wonderful if we could vote ourselves everything we want. Unfortunately, the real world doesn’t cater to our wishes.

There’s fantasy and there’s reality and Bernie isn’t a genie with a magic wand he can wave around to make our dreams a reality.

He’d tax America into bankruptcy long before America saw his free stuff. We don’t want Santa Claus anywhere near the White House.

How can such a platform even be presented!!!

It’s idiotic for anyone to vote for this...

Rational people should run far, far away from him. Unfortunately, the Democrat Party is filled with brain-dead idiots.

No wonder Ragin’ Cajun James Carville, is genuinely frightened to death.
