Sanders and his campaign say the plan offers up free, full-day child care for every child from infancy, plus pre-K to every child in the country, starting at age 3.

Sanders and his campaign say the plan offers free, full-day child care for every child from infancy through age 3, and free pre-kindergarten education for every child in the country, starting at age 3. Much like his “Medicare for All” pledge, Sanders’ idea features an eyebrow-raising price tag: $1.5 trillion spent during the next decade.
How to pay for it? Tax the rich, the campaign says.

1) Bernie cannot bring socialism. He cannot rule by decree. None of his big plans will happen.
2) But that doesn't mean he's harmless. His presidency would be bad for America.
Our parties are failing to produce fit candidates. Do not endorse their failures with your vote.
