A NEW URBAN INSTITUTE EVALUATION OF THE THEORETICAL-COSTS OF BERNIE SANDERS'S PROPOSED POLICIES LED TO NO LESS-THAN FOUR HIGHLY CRITICAL AND IN SOME WAYS INCREDIBLY MISLEADING IN THE WASHINGTON POST IN LESS THAN SEVEN HOURS, WHICH IS NOT THE 18 CRITICAL ARTICLES THEY HAD ON BERNIE SANDERS IN ATONE DAY PERIOD A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, BUT IT IS STILL PRETTY-CRITICAL SINCE IT IS ALL COMING IN THE SAME SOURCE. SANDERS IS-SELLING A FANTASY AGENDA, SANDERS'S PLANS AREN'T JUST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THEY ARE ALSO FISCALLY DANGEROUS AND MIGHT-JUST GIVE YOU CANCER, SANDERS PILES $18 TRILLION ON FEDERAL-DEBT, THAT IS THE ONE I PREFER, AND SORRY, BERNIE FANS, HIS HEALTHCARE PLAN IS SHORT 17 LOTS OF ZEROES. Furthermore, HE IS ALSO REALLY SCARY LOOKING AND HE DWELLS IN THE SHADOWS. THIS COMES FROM THE URBAN INSTITUTE, THEORETICALLY THERE MIGHT BE SOME REASONS TO CRITICIZE THIS PARTICULAR THINK TANK THAT THE WASHINGTON POST IS100% NON-CRITICALLY CITING SO THEY CAN ATTACK BERNIE SANDERS. Above all else - THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT ALL OF THE ARTICLES WILL BE DESIGNED-TO HELP OUT HILLARY CLINTON, JUST SOMETHING TO BEAR IN MIND. In any case, WE HAVE A FEW CRITICISMS OF THE PARTICULAR METHODS WITH-WHICH THE URBAN INSTITUTE GENERATED THESE GIGANTIC-FIGURES - THAT IS VAGUE. Shouldn't something be said about SPECIFICS, HOW COULD THEY HAVE-MASSAGED THE NUMBERS TO COME UP WITH A HIGH COST?
WELL - THERE THEY ARE SAYING WE WOULD PAY FAR MORE FOR THOSE DRUGS,EVEN THOUGH THE ENTIRE IDEA IS THAT IF YOU CREATE ONE GIGANTICALLY THEY WOULD HAVE MORE BARGAINING POWER AND DRIVE DOWN THE COSTS, SO AN IRONIC TWIST THERE. Be that as it may, TO RETURN - THAT SOUNDS REASONABLE - 3% IS LESS THAN HALF - A DIFFERENCE OF FOUR PERCENTAGE POINTS OVER THE-COURSE OF 10 YEARS WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ADMINISTRATIVE RISING TO HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ALLOWS YOU TO SIGNIFICANTLY SWAY THE OVERALL PRICE TAG, NOT FOMENTATION THAT THE ENTIRE IDEA, AND THIS IS THE REASON THAT NONFICTION OF 12 TRILLION,18 TRILLION, HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME FOR ABOUT A YEAR, IS-THAT IT PRETENDS THAT THIS IS NEW SPENDING. THAT ALL YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE IS FREE TODAY, IN 10YEARS UNDER BERNIE WILL COST 18 TRILLION. IT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY TODAY, IT WILL SIMPLY BE PAID MORIN A DIFFERENT WAY. THAT IS THE ENTIRE IDEA. WHAT DO YOU THINK?I WANT TO MAKE NOTE OF A COUPLE THINGS. THE IDEA THAT-THEY ADDED 100 MILLION MORE DOCTOR VISITS PER YEAR THAN THE-PLAN ACTUALLY HAS, IT IS A LITTLE ARGUABLE BECAUSE SOME-PEOPLE THINK THIS IS A LIBERAL THINK TANK, I HAVE MENTIONED ITS, BUT IT IS FUNDED BY PETE PETERSON WHO IS DEEPLY-CONSERVATIVE AND WANTS TO CUT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE,AND BY THE WAY, J. P. MORGAN CHASE, LET ALONE BILL GATES,ETC. IT IS AN INTERESTING ASSUMPTION TO THROW IN THERE. FROM A CONSERVATIVE PERSPECTIVE THEY WOULD SAY IT IS FREE,EVERYONE WILL USE IT LIKE CRAZY, THAT IS NOT THE SPIRIT OF OTHER-COUNTRIES THAT HAVE DONE THIS KIND OF HEALTHCARE BUT I CAN-GIVE YOU THAT MAYBE YOU WOULD SEE THAT. Yet, RANDOMLY SUPPOSING-THAT THE US BANKS AND REPAIR SYSTEM WOULD PAY half MORE FOR-PRESCRIPTION DRUGS THAN MEDICAID CURRENTLY PAYS WHEN WE ARE NOT-EVEN ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE DRUG COMPANIES RIGHT NOW,THAT IS A PREPOSTEROUS ASSUMPTION. THAT IS AN-ASSUMPTION YOU WOULD ONLY MAKE IF YOU WANTED TO PUT A HATCHET THE BACK OF THIS PLAN AND YOU KNEW THAT YOU WERE NOT IN FAVOR IT, AND I'M JUST GOING TO DOCTOR THE NUMBERS AND-ARTIFICIALLY MAKE IT COST A LOT MORE THAN IT ACTUALLY DOES. THEN-YOU SEE NOT ONLY IS THIS GROUP FUNDED BY CONSERVATIVES, RUN BY-PEOPLE WHO WORKED IN THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION AND ARE TIED TONER CAMPAIGN, BUT THEY PUT OUT A REPORT EARLIER THAT-SURPRISINGLY, SHOCKINGLY, LOVED HILLARY CLINTON'S PLAN ON THE-SAME ISSUE. And afterward THE WASHINGTON POST RAN TWO POSITIVE-ARTICLES ABOUT, THE TAX POLICY CENTER LIKES HILLARY'S PLAN. SO-WHEN I TALK ABOUT THE ESTABLISHMENT, THIS IS WHAT I'M-TALKING ABOUT. THE WASHINGTON POST IS RUN BY JEFF BEZELS, WHOSE-FORTUNE IS OVER $45 BILLION. DOES HE TELL EVERY SINGLE-REPORTER, GO INTO A HATCHET JOB ON SANDERS? I WOULD BE SHOCKED-BY THAT. In any case, IS HE HIRING EDITORS WHO HAVE PROCLIVITIES AND DO NOT WANT TO OVERTHROW A SYSTEM THAT GOT JEFFBEZOS THAT MONEY? I WOULD ARGUE YES. Also, THEY LOVE ANOTHER-ESTABLISHMENT THINK TANK. WHO FUNDS THINK TANKS?IN THIS CASE THE STATE DEPARTMENT, TO SOME EXTENT.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT UNDER THE CLINTON FUNDED THIS GROUP, AND OTHER CLINTON ALLIES AND OTHER CONSERVATIVES AND MILLIONAIRE-SAND BILLIONAIRES, THAT IS WHO FUNDS THINK TANKS, SHOCKINGLY THEY ALL AGREE THAT TAXES SHOULD NOT GO UP AND THE-SYSTEM BUT THEY ALL LOVED SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED AND BERNIE SANDERS IS A THREAT TO THE SYSTEM, SO THEY DO WHATEVER THEY-NEED TO DO TO MANIPULATE THE NUMBERS TO TRY TO MAKE THEM LOOKALIKE. JOHN MENTIONED ANOTHER MACRO POINT ABOUT HOW IT IS NOT-LIKE THE 18 TRILLION POPS UP OUT OF NOWHERE. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH-WE CURRENTLY SPEND ON THE SAME COSTS? 21 TRILLION. Regardless of the possibility that YOU-TOOK THEIR HATCHET JOB 18 TRILLION, AS A COUNTRY - WHEN-YOU TAKE THE TAXES AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE SPENT ON-HEALTHCARE, FOR HEALTHCARE COSTS RIGHT NOW, WE WOULD STILL SAVE TRILLION. THIS IS 18 TRILLION MORE THAN HE ANTICIPATED, MORE THAN WE CURRENTLY SPEND. THE CLAIM OF THE REPORT IS THAT IT IS 18TRILLION MORE THAN THE AMOUNT HE SAYS IT WILL COST, WHICH IS ALREADY A LOT OF MONEY.
