Bernie has a history of being fiscally conservative and his proposal does not discuss the "pay-for."

In any event Bernie has zero power other than his bully pulpit. He can't flex his muscles because he never had any muscle to begin with. :-)

More relevant to the real world is the Chamber of Commerce's recent about face on deficit spending -- of possible interest to MNE?

That article is a satire piece. I got screwed referencing it also since it would be monumental. @cebes aka Robert Bostick told me its an onion like article.
