Bernie Sanders Plans To Expand Gov’t And Spend The Sum Of Our National Debt On Programs
Our national debt is $18 trillion. Bernie wants to spend that same amount over a decade, possibly doubling the national debt.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose liberal call to action has propelled his long-shot presidential campaign, is proposing an array of new programs that would amount to the largest peacetime expansion of government in modern American history.
In all, he backs at least $18 trillion in new spending over a decade, according to a tally by The Wall Street Journal, a sum that alarms conservatives and gives even many Democrats pause. Mr. Sanders sees the money as going to essential government services at a time of increasing strain on the middle class.
Wild Thing’s comment………
Bernie wants to make government about as large as the Solar System.
