Liz Peek: Bernie Sanders' $6 trillion plan – Dems' radical spending will drive inflation higher. Here's how

Concerned about the skyrocketing cost of everything? Shocked at what you have to pay for chicken, for gasoline, for rent today? Don’t look now, but Bernie Sanders has a plan that will drive prices even higher.

Under cover of "infrastructure" investment, Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and other far-left Democrats aim to push a gigantic new spending package through the Senate using reconciliation, choosing to plow ahead with zero Republican votes.   Sanders claimed in a recent interview that the progressives’ proposed bill includes "what the American people want." Polling suggests otherwise.   Progressive Democrats are aggrieved that some of their colleagues have brokered a smaller (actual) infrastructure deal with the GOP, which omits some of their more grandiose ambitions. They want to bloat the budget with a vast expansion of Medicare, subsidies for child care and elder care (a thank-you to the teachers’ unions and the SEIU), spending to combat climate change and perhaps to provide a path to citizenship for people in the country illegally.
