CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 25, 2020
BERNIE SANDERS WAS ON “60 MINUTES” SUNDAY NIGHT? DID YOU SEE IT? IF NOT, READ THE TRANSCRIPT.
SANDERS SAID HIS “MEDICARE FOR ALL” PROPOSAL WOULD COST $30 TRILLION. HE SAID IT WOULD BE PAID FOR – THE LEFT ALWAYS SAYS THAT – AND THAT FREE COLLEGE TUITION AND FORGIVENESS OF CURRENT STUDENT DEBT (BUT APPARENTLY NOT PAST DEBT) WOULD BE PAID FOR WITH A “SMALL TAX” ON WALL STREET. NAME ME A DEMOCRAT WHO BELIEVES IN SMALL TAXES.
WE ALSO LEARNED THAT PART OF SANDERS’ STRATEGY FOR WINNING THE DEMOCRAT NOMINATION AND GENERAL ELECTION IS GETTING UNDOCUMENT WORKERS — MEANING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS – TO VOTE FOR HIM. THEY DID IN HUGE NUMBERS IN THE NEVADA CAUCUSES AND THAT’S WHY HE WON THERE.
COST PROJECTIONS NEVER TURN OUT TO BE ACCURATE. MEDICARE EXCEDED ITS COST PROJECTIONS IN THE FIRST FEW YEARS. SO WILL MEDICARE FOR ALL, WHICH IS BEING SOLD UNDER FALSE PRETENSES. IT WON’T BE THE CURRENT MEDICARE SYSTEM. IT WILL BE SINGLE PAYER, MEANING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL DECIDE WHO GETS CARE AND WHO DOESN’T; WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES. DO YOU WANT WASHINGTON AS YOUR DOCTOR? FREE STUFF SOUNDS GOOD, BUT LIKE THE DEVIL’S PROMISES, THEY ALWAYS END IN DISASTER. I’M CAL THOMAS.
