Sen. Sanders says his initial $6T spending package 'too little,' Americans' support on 'our side'

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said on Sunday that his initial $6 trillion infrastructure plan was “probably too little,” and that the current $3.5 trillion social spending package is the “minimum.”

So America is on their side? What is wrong with people today who have no clue where the money comes from to fund these programs and apparently the only ones supporting these programs are the ones who aren't paying any FIT and no understanding of the taxes they pay or the purpose. Are liberals truly that economically illiterate

Hell, we can't figure out how we are going to continue to pay the benefit programs we already have:

Based on our best estimates, the 2021 reports show:

• The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund, which pays retirement and survivors benefits, will be able to pay scheduled benefits on a timely basis until 2033, one year earlier than reported last year. At that time, the fund's reserves will become depleted and continuing tax income will be sufficient to pay 76 percent of scheduled benefits.

Is there some reason you are so poorly informed? Walls keep people out but that has nothing to do with a 6 trillion dollar bill. Any idea where that money is going to come from and what the current budget of the U.S. is?

Nobody cares about your parroted talking points.

 

[Conservative]

Nobody cares about your parroted talking points.

And obviously you don't care about results for if it doesn't affect you it isn't happening

A thread of lessons on how to run an economy from the party that destroys it every time they take control.

Ding ding ding!

 

[Puigb]

And obviously you don't care about results for if it doesn't affect you it isn't happening

I do care about results. Which is why I don't support your worthless shit for brains political party.

 

[Conservative]

Ding ding ding!

Have no idea what Congress does, do you? Democrats Controlled the Congress 2007-2011, Recession, Democrats controlled the Congress 2019 to the Present, pandemic and recession, Guess facts just don't exist in your world nor does basic civics

 

[Conservative]

I do care about results. Which is why I don't support your worthless shit for brains political party.

So you don't support Biden/Harris and the Democrats? Good for you!!

 

[Conservative]

Liberal Math? How do you fund a 3.5 trillion dollar package by only taxing those making over 400,000 per year? Are Biden supporters really this poorly educated?

Psaki says $3.5T spending bill costs nothing for people earning less than $400K

White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed Monday that President Biden's Build Back Better agenda will cost nothing for Americans who make less than $400,000.

No, sorry that is the liberal ideology in a nutshell, spend your way to prosperity with someone else's money

making money often takes money-----I know from experience.

 

[trixare4kids]

Will the real Bernie Sanders please stand up. He went from a smart, credible populist to an impractical fool. Thanks!!

Funny thing is, Bernie Sanders keeps getting richer off the backs of the poor.

You going to explain to me how Sanders 6 trillion dollar spending package or even the 3.5 trillion dollar package is going to be paid for? Do so with facts and official data

I don't think he can ever pull it off, and I seriously don't understand what he's turned into. Thanks!!

Well, the US has spent $6.4 trillion in its wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Pakistan so it's not as if spending that kind of money is something new.

I opposed that spending as well. Thanks for the laughs.

 

[MTAtech]

I'm not so concerned if they put a little more on the credit card, I want to know when they're going to pay it back.

Furthermore, the tax structure and minimum wage needs to be adjusted so the rich aren't just lapping it all up, or the spending is all in vain.

Nothing will grow the economy more than fiscal responsibility.

We never have to payback the debt — just like we didn’t pay back the massive World War debt. In 1948, the debt was roughly $220 billion or 120% of GDP. Now, that $220 billion is insignificant in a $20 trillion economy.

Current borrowing is at record low interest rates, which implies there isn’t a shortage of lenders.

Are liberals truly that economically illiterate

Republicans passed a $1.5 trillion tax cut under GW Bush and another $1.9 trillion under Trump. That’s $3.5 trillion total, without thinking about where the money was going to come from to make up the difference.
So, the hypocrisy of this thread is obvious.

Both plans call for raising taxes on the rich that fully pays for the plans.

I don't think they are as stupid as conservatives but they are clearly about 5 watts bright.

We make up money out of thin air these days, and it doesn't pause when republicans take office.

Oh yeah, right---------paying for it is not the main concern. Sure, I'll get it to you next year. Takes money to make money-----any business person knows that.

 

[JustAFella]

I was listening this morning to some White House / Biden spin doctor trying to tell Chris Wallace that the trillions of dollars in spending will cost "zero". Wallace challenged the fuzzy math, how can it cost zero? And the guy said they will raise taxes on "the wealthy".

Typical socialist a-holes. If you charge some people MORE then it COSTS THEM, and therefore it is not zero.

Thank God the billionaires have you to defend them from those socialist a-holes.

Americans who are brain dead may. Reasoned, breathing Americans think it what it is, insanity.
