Despite What You've Heard, Bloomberg Is No Centrist

Has anyone calling Bloomberg a centrist bothered to look at his campaign website, rather than just listen to his campaign ads?

On issue after issue, Bloomberg is as radical, or slightly less so, than socialist Bernie Sanders.

Environmental extremism: Bloomberg is as radical as Sanders when it comes to fighting "Climate change." He promises to cut carbon dioxide emissions in half in a decade, and - ditto Sanders - completely decarbonize the nation by 2050.

Price controls on drugs: Both Bloomberg and Sanders want to allow drug imports from foreign countries, and they want to let the government dictate prices for Medicare part D. Socializing health care: While Sanders advocates full-blown Medicare for All, Bloomberg's "Public option" is nothing more than a slightly slower path to the same socialized medicine destination.

Extremist gun control plans: If anything, Bloomberg is more radical on gun control than Sanders, who while running for the Senate at least pretended to moderate his views to appeal to gun-owning Vermonters.

The "Centrist" Bloomberg is also 100% on board with the Democrats' far-left agenda on social issues.

Notice, too, what's lacking from Bloomberg's supposed centrist plans.
