If you want to read some fairy tale shit...

Read what Bernie's platform is and how he proposes to pay for it. Scary shit, actually.

The green new deal section is full of fairy tale magic:

It is fully paid for by:

• Raising $3.085 trillion by making the fossil fuel industry pay for their pollution, through litigation, fees, and taxes, and eliminating federal fossil fuel subsidies.
  
• Generating $6.4 trillion in revenue from the wholesale of energy produced by the regional Power Marketing Administrations. This revenue will be collected from 2023-2035, and after 2035 electricity will be virtually free, aside from operations and maintenance costs.
  
• Reducing defense spending by $1.215 trillion by scaling back military operations on protecting the global oil supply.
  
• Collecting $2.3 trillion in new income tax revenue from the 20 million new jobs created by the plan.
  
• Saving $1.31 trillion by reduced the need for federal and state safety net spending due to the creation of millions of good-paying, unionized jobs.
  
• Raising $2 trillion in revenue by making large corporations pay their fair share of taxes.
  
• 
  

Key Points:

By averting climate catastrophe we will save:

• $2.9 trillion over 10 years, $21 trillion over 30 years and $70.4 trillion over 80 years.
  
• If we do not act, the U.S. will lose $34.5 trillion by the end of the century in economic productivity.

Seems like the playbook for the R's or the dems who want to defeat him is to just read his "facts" and respond with laughter or the phrase, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Forget the merits of what he's proposing. How the fuck does he plan on getting enough Congressional votes for any of this? What has he done in his long Congressional career to convince anyone he's capable of navigating the DC waters and actually building a broad coalition of support?

He's going to destroy domestic energy production and cut out defense of the world supply

And we'll all ride unicorns on rainbows

Fairytale jobs with fairytale pay from fairytale customers.

Sounds solid. Can't wait to walk everywhere!

This guy is certifiable. All of his proposals only work in unicorn rainbow fart land.

Nothing says factually researched as much as "Paying your fair share"

Lots of math going on there.
