One of the myriad issues I have with politicians and partisans is the way they start at the end - what they want to see - and then try to work their way backwards to justify it.
So in the case, Sanders starts at the end - Single Payer, free college, etc., etc. - and then says he's going to tax "Wall Street" and "big business" and "the rich" to pay for it all.
Anyone trying something like this can manipulate the numbers in any number of ways, but if it's not even holding up under scrutiny from progressives, then maybe he should try again.
