Paul Krugman is now accusing Bernie Sanders of “deep voodoo” economics.
Krugman’s right of course. But the best comment is here:
One of the signatories of the letter, Austan Goolsbee, has also taken Sanders to task for claiming that revenue under his single-payer health plan would match the projected addition, by critics’ estimates, of some $2 trillion to $3 trillion to the deficit every year. He told the Times that Sanders’s “puppies and rainbows” agenda had “evolved into magic flying puppies with winning Lotto tickets tied to their collars.”
To actually pay for Sander’s plans, you’ll need to raise taxes on everyone making over 80k. Not just the top 0.1% as he suggested. Math may have a liberal bias, but it doesn’t have a Bernie Bro bias.
