Three of President Obama’s former top economic advisers sent a note to Sanders, complaining that his entire economic plan,
including his health care plan, threatened to “undermine the credibility of the progressive economic agenda.”
Health care expert Paul Starr, writing in the lefty American Prospect, trashed Sanders’ plan, saying it was not “practical or carefully thought out.”
He cited research by another liberal health care expert, Emory University’s Kenneth Thorpe, who said “Medicare for all” would cost almost twice what Sanders claimed.
Needless to say, the taxes needed to pay for it would be economic suicide, costing millions of jobs.

You know its bad when you can't even get huffpoo onboard.
Dear Bernie: I Like You, But These Red Flags Are Too Frequent to Ignore
Even when I agree with your proposed policies, I am too often alarmed by your extreme departures from reality...
When it comes to raising revenue, however, it's arguably little more than snake oil. Sweden once tried it after the promise of 1.5 billion kronor in new revenue. It fell 97 percent short of that projection. As investors moved to other markets, revenue from capital gains taxes fell. The relatively meager 50 million the tax did bring in was offset entirely by those losses. Recent experiments in Italy and France have been similarly disappointing.

Very interesting and typical liberal take,
Ok, let's discuss the prospects.
I'll start with your #1 country, Denmark, about the size of the I-4 corridor in Florida encompassing Tampa and Orlando with a little space left over, about 5.6 million people.
Tell you what , I'll cut right to the chase and say, I'll take Denmarks socialism, yep, I said it, BUT.
you also have to accept their IMMIGRATION LAW.

What say you liberals, Kev, 700 and the rest, you think Denmark was on to something with their immigration law?

Dem Economists Hit Bernie Sanders with the Ultimate Political Insult
"Obama and Clinton administration officials say he’s over promising growth"
For many years, we have worked to make the Democratic Party the party of evidence-based economic policy. When Republicans have proposed large tax cuts for the wealthy and asserted that those tax cuts would pay for themselves, for example, we have shown that the economic facts do not support these fantastical claims….
We are concerned to see the Sanders campaign citing extreme claims by Gerald Friedman about the effect of Senator Sanders’s economic plan—claims that cannot be supported by the economic evidence. Friedman asserts that your plan will have huge beneficial impacts on growth rates, income and employment that exceed even the most grandiose predictions by Republicans about the impact of their tax cut proposals.
As much as we wish it were so, no credible economic research supports economic impacts of these magnitudes. Making such promises runs against our party’s best traditions of evidence-based policy making and undermines our reputation as the party of responsible arithmetic.
