DSA leader Megan Romer doesn't have an answer when Fox News' Martha McCallum asks where the $49 trillion for her socialist agenda is coming from. Romer calls the number "Maofer". Then McCallum what's her number, and it gets awkward fast. McCallum: "That's $350,000 per household. Student debt cancellation, open borders and amnesty, Medicare for all. How are you going to pay for it? Romer: "Yes, I mean, we understand that the White House, which doesn't like us that much, managed to come up with some math that made us look bad." McCallum: "So that's $47.4 trillion, Medicare for all. Romer: "Yes, it's a complex number. " McCallum: "You say it's a complex number, but it's done by economists. Your number versus their number. " So McCallum throws her a lifeline. McCallum: "What's your number when you add up everything on this list? What number did you get? Romer: "There is no such thing as one solid number because it depends on which parts we can build in the meantime. " McCallum: "So just give me a basic number for your wish list. Romer: "This number is outrageous. " McCallum: "What's your number for your wish list? Romer: "That number is ridiculous. I won't give you a solid number. That's not what I'm here to do." The number doesn't just come from White House economists. Cato ran the DSA platform and found that confiscating the entire net worth of the 400 richest Americans, all $6.6 trillion, covers about 9% of the bill. Take every dollar of corporate profit on top of that and they're still $29 trillion short. Romer is more than happy to explain how she will take money from the "billionaire class" and give it to the working class. But ask how much it costs, or how she will actually pay for everything, and her whole argument collapses. Context: The DSA's own estimate for its billionaire wealth tax is $3.9 trillion over ten years. The agenda costs $49 trillion.
