Like, before we start voting?
Because the last time we heard about it was a month ago:
But Sanders still hasn't provided details of his two most ambitious proposals— Medicare-style health care for everyone, and universal child care — or said how much he would raise income tax rates to pay for them.
“We haven't come up with an exact number yet, but it will not be as high as the number under Dwight D. Eisenhower, which was 90%,” Sanders said at the most recent Democratic presidential debate. “I'm not that much of a socialist compared to Eisenhower.”
So what is the exact number, then? Tad Devine, super genius, told us that the plan Sanders has submitted to Congress a few times, where it got ZERO cosponsors (not Warren, not Brown, Baldwin...literally NOBODY), was not going to be the plan Sanders would propose as president. He told us that whatever the plan would eventually look like, it wasn’t going to cost middle class folks a penny:
Tad Devine, Sanders Campaign Strategist
In an interview, Sanders’ campaign appeared to be backing away from the senator's
own previous bills, aware that any possible tax hike that could be a deal breaker for middle class voters. Devine said “what Bernie wants to do now [in terms of his healthcare proposal] is not exactly like the one proposed in past legislation.”
Any proposal the campaign will unveil, said Devine, is unlikely to involve tax rate increases on the middle class. “I don’t really see that,” he said. “I don’t see tax rate increases involving anyone other than people making a lot of money.”
Alright. When are we going to get a good look at this magical single payer plan that covers everyone, lowers spending and doesn’t increase taxes? None of his Senate bills do that, which is why they went nowhere. So, lets see it. Where is it? Where is it?
Anybody? Anybody?
