Bernie's website gives no estimate but most experts predict at least $34 trillion in additional federal spending over its first decade in operation. That’s more than the federal government’s total cost over the coming decade for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid combined, according to the most recent Congressional Budget Office projections.

There is one thing for sure and Sanders freely admits it. Taxes will go up.
Bernie is un-electable. Certainly there are many who like Bernie for his universal healthcare for all but those same people are not for free college for all. Nothing is free after all. Government funded programs is really tax payer funded programs.

Stating taxes will go up is similar to shooting one's self in the foot.
