Here are Bernie Sanders's proposals for how to pay for the progressive policies he advocates, though other progressives have different proposals, so this is not set in stone of how it will be done WHEN it happens: berniesanders.com/issues/how-ber…
Also, when discussing how we pay for it, #LearnMMT. Money doesn't work the same for the US gov't as it does for one's household budget. Certain spending/debt CREATES more revenue than it spends--namely, progressive economic policies. @AOC gets this. vice.com/en_us/article/…

And for anyone who asks "how are you going to pay for it?": I've never encountered anyone who asks this AND is sincerely interested in the thoughtful, researched response that is given. If you're asking in good faith, we can talk. Otherwise, no thanks.
