Get a grip

All of this whinnying and complaining about "Sanders did this" and "Sanders will makes my taxes go up " and all the crazy bullshit I've read on this website over the last several months is truly bizarre and mind-boggling.
Look, let us cut to the chase. Will your taxes go up? YES. Will some cost go up? YES. Will some cost come down? YES. Will our quality of life improve? YES...eventually. The days of free rides and luxury without consequences are fading fast.
If we really want a better world for ourselves and those that come after us than we are going to have to work for it, sacrifice for it, realize those living now may never see it and we have to not just want it but get off our asses and fight for it.
