matt gaetz self quarantine

On MTP just now they were saying that Matt Gaetz is now in self quarantine because he was exposed to the coronavirus person at CPAC. Immediately before he went into self quarantine, he was flying on Air Force One & had been in a car with comrade donnnie!!

Rep. Matt Gaetz is the latest member of Congress to go into self-quarantine after coming in contact with an individual at CPAC who has since tested positive for the coronavirus.

Why it matters: Gaetz was seen traveling with President Trump on Air Force One about an hour before his office announced that he would go into self-quarantine. Gaetz's office reports that he is not feeling symptoms, but has received testing and is expecting results soon.

Estimate raises questions about Sanders' proposals to pay for ambitious plans

they're talking about this article on Morning Joe. Now that he's clearly losing, Bernie finally released some numbers on how to pay for his proposals. One shocking statement on Morning Joe said his programs would raise middle class taxes by 60%! (Republicans would love that one!)

The article begins:

WASHINGTON — As the Democratic presidential candidate promising a political revolution, Sen. Bernie Sanders has proposed new federal programs to overhaul the nation's health care system, tackle climate change and wipe away student debt.

But a budget estimate by a nonpartisan think tank provided to NBC News suggests that despite new proposals on how he would pay for them, his plans would still result in a $20 trillion budget shortfall over 10 years.

NBC News asked the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget to respond to an itemized list the campaign released last week explaining how the Sanders, I-Vt., intends to fund a range of his proposals, including "Medicare for All," the Green New Deal, free college and housing for all.

The $20 trillion estimate is similar to a study the CRFB did of Sanders' 2016 campaign, which estimated that his proposals then would result in a $19 trillion shortfall.

Sanders has proposed several ways to fund his ambitious plans, including a wealth tax to eliminate homelessness and fund universal child care, as well as an "income inequality tax" on large corporations and chief executives to eliminate $81 billion in past-due medical debt. And while he has acknowledged some middle-class tax increases will be required to fund his health care plan, a range of budget experts say they would likely need to be far higher than what he's proposed if he delivers on all of his promises.

I always knew there was a good reason why he wasn't telling anyone how much all of this would cost.
