According to a study by Dr. Charles Blahous, senior research strategist at the Mercatus Center senior and former trustee for Social Security and Medicare, the ‘Medicare for All program proposed by Bernie Sanders would cost $32.6 trillion over the course of ten years. The cost is so high that even doubling all federal individual and corporate income tax collections would fall short of fully funding the plan. [The ignorant clamor for it, anyway, thinking that, somehow, they will escape paying ‘their fair share’. They also think they actually will receive good medical care.

A “Medicare for all” proposal would cost the federal government more than $32 trillion over the course of ten years. That’s according to a new study by Charles Blahous, Mercatus Center senior research strategist and former public trustee for Social Security and Medicare.
Dr. Blahous analyzed the “Medicare for All Act” (M4A), legislation introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) last September, in an effort to determine how much such a proposal would cost the federal government.
Here are the numbers:
M4A total cost over its first ten years: $32.6 trillion
Federal spending on healthcare by 2031: 12.7 percent of all economic activity in the United States
Other studies aimed at estimating the cost of providing Medicare-like coverage to all Americans had similar findings.
A 2016 Center for Health and Economy (CHE) study of the same proposal estimated more than $27 trillion more in federal budget deficits

This weekend, it was reported that about 100 cases of monkeypox were detected across European countries, Canada and Australia. All of this is convenient timing just as Biden is poised to hand over US sovereignty to the UN World Health Organization.
Axios tried to concoct a motive to blame conservatives for the threats to storm the Supreme Court, murder justices and their clerks, and attack places of worship. But this makes no sense as pro-lifers and conservatives will celebrate a decision to overturn Roe.

NY Governor Hochul signed executive orders to combat gun violence and domestic terrorism, and investigate social media platforms promoting violent extremism.
The woman said that her son is using racism as an excuse to shirk chores and the school taught him that he is seen as a black man and that the world is against him, making it a negative feature.
Tucker Carlson said that $40 billion is only the beginning and total spending could reach $3 TRILLION! Most of the money going to arms manufacturers. The total spending plan is not reported publicly because public support for war with Russia is close zero.

Stefan Molyneux will shock your sensibilities at several levels with this analysis of why the collectivist left always wins. (This applies to all types of collectivists – Nazis, Fascists, etc,) There is some gutter language here, but that is overshadowed by Molyneaux’s hammer blows against dignified and non-controversial opposition to the relentless, violent, and murderous collectivist left. Hear him out and judge for yourself.
Carlson chronicles the many assaults against free speech for conservatives – and they are shocking when considered all together. Beliefs conventionally described as conservative just five years ago now are described as ‘terrorism.’ Meanwhile, actual terror by the left goes unpunished.
Stefan Molyneux delves deeply into the moral bankruptcy of globalists who willingly sacrifice little girls on the alter of multi-culturalism and internationalism. This is an impressive monologue that challenges us to ponder the depravity of those who protect and sustain rape, torture, and murder for political gain. A classical call for moral indignation and a personal declaration of war against pure evil. Well worth 27 minutes.
