He has taken that off the table.

I wish I was as confident as you are. There are a lot of folks out there who want 'free' **** and don't care who has to pay for it.

None of this will produce revenue

Sanders is a joke and his followers are fools.

That's not the intention

It's a budgeting technique described as "revenue-neutral," where increased spending is offset by an equivalent increase in tax receipts.

With other peoples money same as every other D and R. This makes him special how?

Or in Trump's case, no plan to pay for it.

"Every other D and R" proposes increased spending without offsetting it with an equivalent increase in tax reveneue. Instead, "Every other D and R" prints and borrows money to pay for stuff, putting our country deeper into debt and further debasing our currency.

Exhibit A: Trump's tax cuts

Exhibit B: Trump's military budget

Revenue-neutral governance is what Sanders offers. Why is revenue-neutral governance a bad thing?

So Bernie Sanders is going to pay for everything by having others (who are not Bernie Sanders) pay for everything.
