According to the Mercatus Center at GWU, Bernie and his millennial socialist acolyte suggestion of Medicare for all would cost $32 trillion over 10 years.  Now let's imagine a candidate for national office suggesting we raise taxes by that amount over 10 years.  Not gonna happen because it is political suicide.  The rich don't have that much income so it would entail either a massive tax increase on the middle class and working poor or a tremendous increase in the national debt.  So which is it Socialists?  Let's get on the record here which you prefer.  Either way it's a huge problem for the Dems as they lurch to the left toward full on socialism.  Whether that appeals to the average voter remains to be seen.
