Yeah. But Pete getting called out more for it is more evidence that people hate him for ridiculous reasons. It’s as if people finally start calling out white guys on their BS and they just happen to start with the nice young gay man.

The Bernie Bros still won't answer substantive premises about his "promises" which are the basis of his support:
Last night (and somewhat before), Bernie acknowledged that his M4A, free tuition, student loan forgiveness, etc., will cost $40-50 Trillion over the next decade. Our current budget is $4.45T/year. Bernie's plans would effectively double the size of our budget.
In 2018, there was a total of $3.18T paid in federal taxes. Bernie would have to double tax receipts just to keep pace with a $1.3T annual deficit. How can one believe that his self-described "miniscule" stock transaction tax and higher taxes on the rich will reach the total of all taxes taken in by the IRS?
Secondly, even if the pipe dream of Bernie's taxes equal all the taxes sent to the government comes true, we will have to borrow an additional $1.3-2T annually to pay for his largesse. This means money will be tighter (more expensive) for mortgages which will create massive barriers for people to enter the market. It will be more difficult and more expensive for families to start small businesses. Family farms rely on loans to keep our food growing. These loans will be more expensive. Thus, poor and lower middle class families will have to pay more for food and more family farms will go out of business.
What I expect is either a scathing attack on me or ignoring everything above. It would be nice if some of you would deal with this post honestly and specifically. I won't hold my breath.
Link?
