OPINION:
Presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders had only one answer when questioned about the cost of his ultra-expensive agenda recently: Namely, tax the billionaires. He gives no indication of the cost of his proposals and no statement about the funds that could be extracted from these same billionaires (“Bernie Sanders admits he hasn’t a clue of the cost of his socialist stuff,” Web, Feb. 24). His pie-in-the-sky costs would not only empty the pockets of his target rich but would leave a hole in the pockets of those who chose to remain in the United States.
Hopefully the recent “60 Minutes” interview will convince voters that Mr. Sanders’ programs would bankrupt our country, leading to uncontrolled inflation. Sanders is a danger to the future of our nation and hopefully either on the campaign trail or after nomination voters will hold his feet to the fire for failing to provide financial answers.
