That's why his supporters characterize him as Robin Hood, because he promises to steal from people.

The non-partisan Committee For A Responsible Budget (CFRB) made a somewhat similar analysis (which they have just updated). Fortunately, however, they haven't just looked at Bernie Sanders, but also at Trump, Clinton and (now irrelevant) Ted Cruz:
And an overview (including Kasich, but the CFRB found the details in his plan lacking):

Even though the shortfall of the Bernie Sanders plan is somewhat lower here ($ 2-15 Trillion compared to the $ 21 Trillion by the Tax Policy Center mentioned in the OP), it nonetheless quite obvious that Hillary Clinton is the only presidential candidate left in the race with an even remotely responsible economic plan for the US.
EDIT: Just noticed this overview of the debt projections for the 3 remaining candidates:

(2) Whether or not a policy is "unprecedented" is in itself irrelevant to its factual validity.
Yes, I noticed my mistake after I had posted it and could no longer edit it. I knew it was for 10 years not 4, don't know why I posted 4 years.
B.S., it is very relevant. It's the freaking elephant in the room that everyone who dislikes Bernie wants to ignore. To run America that badly you would have to be a complete imbecile or running the country off a cliff on purpose. Neither of which would describe Bernie.
And yes, if you could show that a president has done this poorly in the past, and show that it was by his very own actions. Then you could show where something like this could actually happen now.
The OP article is nothing more than fear mongering.

I'm rolling on the floor dude. It should have been obvious that it be an American president.
Or did you choose a Venezuelan president because of the ties the corporate media likes to make of Sanders to socialism?
If so, Sanders is a democratic socialist which is quite different from a true socialist.

So you are saying basic economics do not apply to non-American countries? Also, I read the article that you posted and it did not refute the point made by the original poster that Bernie's plan would add to the debt. It basically just said that Bernie would break up the big banks. So why do you think that the OP is wrong?
