As a self-described socialist, I find it incredibly disappointing that the Sanders campaign resorted to this kind of imaginary economics in order to pay for their proposed policies. Numerous European social democracies show that you can operate that kind of government without the magical money printer that the US allegedly operates. There might have been more widespread support for important policies like Medicare for All if there was a real way to pay for it.
