Bernie Sanders wants to nationalize at least 30% of the US economy

IIn the American ideal presented by Bernie Sanders by 2020, the majority of the economy would be centralized and socialized.

Above our current public spending, accounting for about 40% of GDP, the Vermont Senator would not nationalize just one-fifth of the economy with a "Medicare for all" bill removing private health insurance . As part of its Green New Deal plan, it would also nationalize the core of the energy sector.

At just $ 16.3 billion, the Sanders Plan would go beyond simple spending measures to increase climate-related research and development. It would literally centralize the means of domestic energy production, supposedly as part of this process "creating" 20 million union jobs in "steel and automotive, construction, modernization of energy efficiency, parks servers and coding, and renewable energy plants ".

Sanders says in his plan that he would pay for his Green New Deal, in part, out of the $ 6.4 trillion that he hoped to earn through the federal government-run public services that, according to Sanders it, will generate "green" energy for all of us. the first 12 years of the plan. This business figure includes renewable energy that would replace the country's nuclear capacity, which Sanders wants to phase out, in addition to all sources of fossil fuel-based electricity.

The energy sector accounts for 9% of the US economy. Include all costs associated with auto construction, public transit, and sustainable agriculture specifically identified in the Sanders Plan, which could possibly double. Between "Medicare For All" and the Green New Deal, Sanders calls for the total nationalization of 30% to 40% of the US economy.

Candidate Senators have all taken the bandwagon to co-sponsor the Green New Deal without even knowing what would be in it. The leader of the Republican majority, Senator Mitch McConnell, convinced them to vote against, during a ground vote, thus giving a coup de grace to the socialist list of Christmas and allowing the candidates of 2020 to find their Empty gestures on other issues.

But by seriously bringing back the Green New Deal, Sanders reminds us how much the Democratic primary has stayed out and that it remains a major stake for the preservation of a free and private economy.
