Friedman found that if Sanders became president -- and was able to push his plan through Congress -- median household income would be $82,200 by 2026, far higher than the $59,300 projected by the Congressional Budget Office.
In addition, poverty would plummet to a record low 6%, as opposed to the CBO's forecast of 13.9%. The U.S. economy would grow by 5.3% per year, instead of 2.1%, and the nation's $1.3 trillion deficit would turn into a large surplus by Sanders' second term.
Many presidential hopefuls say their economic programs would boost growth. Donald Trump and Jeb Bush justify their big tax cuts by saying GDP would grow at a 4% rate. But their plans have been panned by experts as overly optimistic.
Friedman, however, argues that Sanders' plan would be more stimulative because it is pouring money into the economy, as opposed to cutting taxes. Several of Sanders' proposals -- such as spending $1 trillion on infrastructure -- will happen in the first few years of his administration.
The thinking goes: This enhanced government spending would increase demand on businesses, who would then hire more workers to meet their needs. The increase in employment will prompt people to buy more, leading other businesses to hire.
"If there is more spending, people will have more to do," Friedman said, noting that the share of the population with jobs could be restored to its 1999 level of more than 64%, up from its current 59.6% rate.
Отсюда
Сандерс собирается потратить 14 триллионов долларов на государственные медицину и образование для всех, при этом попутно увеличив налоги на зарабатывающих больше четверти миллиона в год и сократив расходы на оборону (читай - попил) в два раза (до уровня Клинтона). Исходя из анализа, это вольет деньги в экономику напрямую, так как сокращение налогов для богатых просто выводит деньги в Китай и на Каймановые острова. Такие инвестиции должны привести к появлению нового бизнеса, что бы обслуживать вложения (строительный, медицинский итд), который приведет к большей занятости и, как следствие, к 5% экономическому росту с сопутствующим увеличением налогов, которое ко второму сроку Сандерса приведет к бюджетному ПРОФИЦИТУ.
Ну а вдобавок, Сандерс против зарубежных войн.
