Median income would soar by more than $22,000. Nearly 26 million jobs would be created. The unemployment rate would fall to 3.8%.

Those are just a few of the things that would happen if Bernie Sanders became president and his ambitious economic program were put into effect, according to an analysis given exclusively to CNNMoney. The first comprehensive look at the impact of all of Sanders' spending and tax proposals on the economy was done by Gerald Friedman, a University of Massachusetts Amherst economics professor.

4. When money is put into the lower 47%, they have no choice

but to spend it. No hiding the money in off-shore banks. Money spent at the bottom invigorates the entire economy. It's not "trickle up" -- it trickles all over.
