Here is the cost of the current GOP tax bill placed in the context of other really expensive things. Although it\\u2019s not\\xa0quite\\xa0enough money to solve world hunger, it\\u2019s enough to end US homelessness four times over or fund nine simultaneous Apollo Programs.

I\\u2019m writing this post sort of as penance. During the primaries, I wrote a post arguing that Sanders\\u2019 college plan was\\xa0bad. And compared to any reasonable use of the money, I still think that\\u2019s true.
