US fiscal analysis of DSA policy agenda
Overview
The White House Council of Economic Advisers has released reports analyzing the projected fiscal impact of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) policy agenda. The analysis estimates that implementing these policies could result in a net cost of approximately $49 trillion over a ten-year period, which equates to a burden of roughly $350,000 to $355,000 per American household.
Key cost drivers identified include Medicare for All, estimated at over $47 trillion, and the Green New Deal, projected to cost $12 trillion over 25 years. Other significant expenditures include student debt cancellation, a mandated 32-hour workweek, and universal rent control.
Regarding immigration, the reports suggest that policies involving mass amnesty and expanded federal benefits—such as Medicaid, food stamps, and housing assistance—would cost between $440 billion and $613 billion over the next decade. The analysis also notes that reducing current enforcement measures could decrease projected taxpayer savings by up to $287 billion.
