Sanders Defends His Record, Says He 'Felt Good' About SC Debate | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
NBC News’s Shaquille Brewster talks to Bernie Sanders to discuss how he the Vermont senator feels he did in the latest Democratic Debate ahead of the South …
Who is here after I predicted that they would steal it from Bernie again. Now you have to do it with uncle Joe. Good luck with it!
Join the modern world, vote Bernie.
Wow, he just laid it out all there. He said the budget reconciliation act, that's the nuclear option. He is ending the Filibuster AS IT CURRENTLY EXISTS, in the Senate. If someone wants to strap a pee-bag to their leg and read Harry Potter for 24 hours, that's different. But the idea that the minority can just block eternally is nonsense.
Right now its vote Bernie or Classicism/Racism/sexism
Doug and
VOTE FOR BERNIE SANDERS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We want Biden
TELL ,IF YOU ARE A ISLAMIST.. YOU SUPPORTER OF TERRORIST NATION
the debate format is frustrating to watch.
"let's do the math bernie. it doesn't add up! how are you going to pay for your plans?"
and then the moderators literally give the guy 45 seconds to talk. just ridiculous. the questions asked cannot possibly be answered in the amount of time the candidate is given to talk
these debates are more about the drama and one liner quips among the candidates than providing information to the american people.
Bernie Sanders supporters claim that his spending plans will "reduce costs" and that "America should be able to do the same thing they do in countries like Norway, Sweden, Denmark, etc." (Though they likely don't know that those countries have NO Federal minimum wage, embrace school choice – where government money is used to pay for private (even "for-profit!") schools and are more staunchly capitalistic with less regulation that much of the USA!)
They fail however to understand that the detail of Sanders spending plans do NOT account for how they will be PAID for – due to a combination of just wanting them so badly to work, to not really delving deeply into the numbers, and because of Mr. Sanders personal charisma and deft speaking ability. THIS IS ABOUT WAY more than HEALTH CARE. Even Mr. Sanders cannot account for how he will pay for the costs – as brought out in his recent 60 Minutes interview….and the South Carolina debate.
What follows is FIRST…..a recap of the costs of Sanders NEW proposed spending programs – based on HIS numbers – Read that again…these are HIS numbers for a 10 year period.
After that…SECOND…will come a recap and analysis of what Sanders and his supporters says will PAY for the new spending programs.
FIRST…..NEW SPENDING PROGRAMS – 10 years
1. Medicare for All : $30-40 Trillion (We will use the middle point of $35 Trillion for discussion purposes)
2. Climate Plan: $ 16.3 Trillion
3. Jobs Guarantee (@$15/hr. w full benefits) Plan: $ 30.1 Trillion (as discussed below, likely MUCH higher, but to remain conservative – this amount is used)
4. Student Loan Forgiveness & Guarantee free public
college tuition plan: $ 3 Trillion
5. Social Security Expansion Plan: $1.8 Trillion
6. Housing for All Plan: $ 2.5 Trillion
7. Paid Family Leave Plan: $1.6 Trillion
8. Infrastructure Plan: $ 1 Trillion
9. K-12 Education Plan: $ 800 Billion
10. Higher Public School Teacher Salaries: $ 400 Billion
11. Free Child Care Plan (Announced on 60 Minutes) $1.5 Trillion
Total NEW spending plans = $ 94 Trillion
SECOND…..How Bernie proposes to pay for it. While Sanders tends to speak in somewhat general terms, here is what he has stated in terms of numbers…and in terms of "theory" as to how he will pay for the NEW spending plans. Again, these are all 10 year numbers.
1. State Governments/State administered programs will SAVE $3 Trillion under Medicare for all. Although a large part of this will stay with the States, let's just assume it will reduce the cost of Sanders Plan.
$3 Trillion.
2. Sanders Medicare For All financing worksheet contains $16.2 trillion in mostly-broad-based tax increases, which rises to $19.3 trillion after replacing the worksheet’s original $1.3 trillion wealth tax with the recent $4.35 trillion version. Just to get to THIS amount, tax rates would soar. Sanders would raise the current 15.3 percent payroll tax to 27.2 percent due to an 11.5 percent Medicare For All payroll tax (with some exemptions), and a 0.4 percent payroll tax for paid family leave. (The full Social Security payroll tax would also be applied to wages exceeding $250,000.) Sanders proposes a top federal income-tax rate of 52 percent. Capital gains and dividends would be taxed as ordinary income, plus a 10 percent net investment-income surtax for the wealthy. (The resulting 62 percent top tax bracket for investments would be so far beyond the revenue-maximizing rate that it would produce little actual revenue). Overall, upper-income taxpayers would face a marginal tax rate as high as 80 percent from their federal income, state income, and payroll taxes. They would also be assessed a 62 percent investment tax rate, an annual wealth tax of up to 8 percent, and a 77 percent estate tax. These are all included in this number.
$19.3 Trillion
3. Social Security expansion would be financed by $1.8 trillion in new payroll and investment taxes.
$1.8 Trillion
4. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the financial-transactions tax intended to pay for Sanders’s college agenda would raise $777 billion.
$777 Billion
5. The climate proposal and family-leave proposals each contain approximately $200 billion in specified tax increases.
$400 Billion
6. Repealing the 2017 tax cuts—beyond what is already accounted for in other proposals—would raise at most $1 trillion.
$ 1 Trillion
7. Carbon Tax – Sanders has backed away from his previous support for a carbon tax.
Total NEW taxing plans = $ 27 Trillion
Difference $67 TRILLION (The Sanders Deficit)
There are many responses by Bernie supporters about taxing the billionaires, taxing Wall St., suing Fossil Fuel companies, etc. At MOST, they bring The Sanders Deficit down to $60 Trillion. If you want to know more – reply to this – it's thoroughly researched.
This man is unwavering. Truly admirable after SO many years fighting for the same things. The ticket price thing shocked me. It's unreasonable.
Most likely Bernie will be eliminated in the contested convention, We as progressives instead of crying about it when it comes let's just look forward and urge Bernie to create a new party " the progressive party" so in the next election a progressive candidate such as AOC or Cenk Uygur will be the party candidate so we can all vote for without the fear of her or him being eliminated, lets let the democratic party die with its aging breed. Please send an e-mail to Bernie's staff about this, After all it was his dream, take a look: https://youtu.be/KL8BpbWP7_8?t=304
Whatever the end result, the fact is Bernie is shifting the conversation on what is considered “progressive” in this strangely conservative country of ours. He knows this. He is shifting the narrative so that future leaders like AOC can continue to carry his torch.
Bloomberg 2020 all the way who's with me!
You folks at MSNBC, have you figured out the bottom your ratings will hit as you relentlessly & unfairly target the overwhelming favorite of 18-40 yr-olds?
Can I get an answer…did I hear right? America doesn't have paid sick leave???????
$1750 a ticket.
REMEMBER BERNIE BELIEVES THAT FREE MEDICAL CARE AND HIGHER EDUCATION SHOULD BE A "BIRTHRIGHT" TO ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!
BERNIE .2020… EQUALITY MINDED AMERICAN PEOPLE (OF ALL COLORS) WANT A GOVERNMENT WHERE EVERYONE IS TREATED EQUALLY!.. LIKE IN DENMARK AND SWEDEN!… THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES!.. IF YOUR NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION, YOUR PART OF THE PROBLEM!…
I think Brian Williams is terrible. I won’t watch him since he said the beauty of our weaponry when trump tomahawked Syria. Chuck Todd should be traded to Fox 🦊 for Chris Wallace. But Chris Matthews has gone off the deep end. He should retire or be fired.
5:35 that last question was so out of context. Then they wonder why we say Bernie isn't treated fairly.
To those who like to criticize Bernie for his democratic socialist ideas judge for yourself. I am a supporter of Bernie. In Stockholm ; the capital of Sweden, the prince of Sweden was caught driving over the speed limit (no necessary to many miles over the speed limit) because the government there is a social democratic monarchy you pay fines based on your income his fine was $250,000. I'll bet anyone the prince would think twice before speeping again in downtown Stockholm That kind of equality is synonym of true justice. When Obama became president many people got diarrhea of the mouth because he was a black president. I owe my life today to the Obama care in regard to preexisting conditions. I need a liver transplant and before Obama care that was a death sentence I was not able to any kind of treatment because preexisting condition. Today my tumor is gone and I am on the waiting list for a liver. In many countries of the world health care is free and for all. Many doctors today forget about the Hippocratic oath and is because capitalism is good for economic reasons but a festering virus for the souls of men. If most of the rich people in the world would have paid the fair wage to these who contributed along the way in his journey to riches many people today would have at least a decent life. Make ur mind up and if want a society where equality is the norm Bernie Sanders is the rights man
I'm pro Bernie but by now I'm too cynical. I think Trump will be reelected no matter who wins the dem race. I also think Trump will have a third term. The fact is this country's population is too dumb for a guy like Bernie
Why would anyone pay that kind of money to see this disastrous procedure up close and personal? I forgot; the infantile-minded DNC stacked the audience to applaud in all the wrong places. I didn't see it, but that's what I was told.
Who is here after I predicted that they would steal it from Bernie again. Now you have to do it with uncle Joe. Good luck with it!
