Sanders plan would add 18 trillion to federal debt over ten years
A joint analysis by Urban Brookings Tax Policy Center and Urban Institute finds Sanders tax and spend plan would raise over 15 trillion in taxes over a decade but fail to cover health care, college and Social Security costs, increasing deficits by about 18 trillion. The study warns this debt would crowd out investment and raise rates, while Sanders campaign disputes the numbers citing potential savings and bureaucratic reductions.

New Mexico to repeal gag rule banning test criticism by teachers
The Public Education Department will remove a 2009 regulation that prohibited teachers and public school staff from disparaging standardized tests. The move follows an ACLU NM lawsuit arguing the rule chills free speech and threatens licenses. No discipline has occurred under the rule to date. The agency will seek a court stay as it removes the provision.
