Ezra Klein (Democrat-GE) Slams Comrade Bernie Sanders

Leftist Ezra Klein (Democrat-GE) slams Comrade Sanders:
In the absence of these kinds of specifics, Sanders has offered a puppies-and-rainbows approach to single-payer — he promises his plan will cover everything while costing the average family almost nothing. This is what Republicans fear liberals truly believe: that they can deliver expansive, unlimited benefits to the vast majority of Americans by stacking increasingly implausible, and economically harmful, taxes on the rich. Sanders is proving them right.

A few days ago, I criticized Hillary Clinton for not leveling with the American people. She seemed, I wrote, "scared to tell voters what she really thinks for fear they'll disagree." Here, Sanders shows he doesn't trust voters either. Rather than making the trade-offs of a single-payer plan clear, he's obscured them further. In answering Clinton's criticisms, he's raised real concerns about the plausibility of his own ideas.
An article , well worth your time. Is Ezra Klein (Democrat- GE) working to protect GE's health care business earnings? If this keeps up Comrade Sanders might demand that corporations can't fund websites!
