Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders announced on CBS' "60 Minutes" Sunday a new plan to guarantee free child care and pre-kindergarten to all American children from infancy to age four.
Details: In the wide-ranging interview, Sanders told Anderson Cooper he planned to pay for universal childcare with a wealth tax.
And yet, where are people saying, 'How are you going to pay for over $750 billion on military spending?'
Funding plans: Cooper pushed Sanders on how he plans to fund plans including Medicare for All, free public college, the Green New Deal and student debt cancelation.
"Making public colleges and universities tuition free and cancelling all student debt ...
We pay for that through a modest tax on Wall Street speculation," Sanders said.
Sanders also criticized 2020 Democratic rival Mike Bloomberg over his stop-and-frisk policy while New York mayor, calling the policy "horrifically racist." »
