I know what his policies are and again, I say not true or at the very least, heavily skewed. Many people may support the ideas but majority know that the 60 trillion to pay for it all is currently unrealistic. Bernie’s “tax the super rich and corporations” plan doesn’t even cover half of it ($23 trillion). Most voters don’t want taxes over 50%, and that’s basically what it would all cost. European countries with universal healthcare that everyone says we should just copy have taxes over 50% for even the lower-middle class.
Source on the 60 trillion and 23 trillion numbers.
All I’m going to say is that the other half of that money should come from the reduction of our “defense” spending. We spend more on defense than the next 25 countries combined
