449. Yes, Sanders often did well with the relatively small sub-group of minority voters under 30, but the actual vote totals prove he got creamed in the overall minority vote. For example, in the New York primary, here are three very low-income and overwhelmingly nonwhite election districts and the margins by which Sanders lost to Hillary: Washington Heights, Manhattan ED #11 (44 points); East Concourse, Bronx, ED #56 (52 points); East New York, Brooklyn, ED #77 (67 points). When you are losing by 44 to 67 points in such neighborhoods, you simply must admit that your message is failing to connect.

8. Author calculation for the cost of ending hunger in America. In 2014, according to the USDA, there were 48.135 million people who were food-insecure and they each spent an average of $12.50 per week less on food than non-hungry Americans. If you multiple 48.135 million by $12.50 by 52 (for the number of weeks in the year), the sum is $31.2 billion, the rough annual cost of ending US hunger.
9. Author calculation for the costs of the Service Patriots America plan. This plan assumes that the active duty military would stay about the same size as today and benefits would remain the same for them, thereby requiring no new costs. Additional spending would therefore be required only for the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps portions of this program. The annual Peace Corps budget is currently $418 million, costing about $65,000 per year for every participant, including a “readjustment” allowance of more than $8,000 (pre-tax) upon completion of service. About 6,800 people now serve in the Peace Corps. If each existing participant received an additional $20,000 post-service education award for each year of duty, the extra post-service awards for existing members would total $136 million. If the Peace Corps increased to 30,000 participants per year (an added 23,200 participants) and the cost for each member would be $85,000 per year ($65,000 for the position itself, plus $20,000 for a post-service award), it would equal $1.9 billion. Thus, the total cost of 6,800 additional post-service awards for existing Peace Corps members plus the total costs for 23,200 new Peace Corps volunteers with the new awards—for a new total of 30,000 members—would be roughly $2.1 billion. The annual AmeriCorps budget is currently $782 million, costing the federal government roughly $10,000 for every AmeriCorps member. (Each slot costs about $20,000 overall, but partner nonprofit organizations pick up the difference, which is why most AmeriCorps members work for very well-funded, large nonprofit groups.) To dramatically expand AmeriCorps, and ensure high-quality placements, the program would need to place more members at smaller, less-well-endowed grassroots nonprofit groups or at local, state, or federal government agencies, which would likely require more federal money, perhaps $5,000 per slot—meaning the cost to the federal government (not including the additional post-service award), would increase to $15,000 per slot. If the current AmeriCorps education award, worth $5,730, were increased to a post-service award of $20,000, this would mean that each AmeriCorps slot would cost the federal government about $30,000 annually. Thus, the extra costs for the higher post-service awards would add an additional $1.5 billion to the existing AmeriCorps program. In order to add another 1.7 million new slots for AmeriCorps (including the higher post-service awards), an additional $51 billion would be needed. Coupled with the larger post-service awards for existing slots, the vastly expanded, 1.8 million-member AmeriCorps program would cost $53 billion. The combined costs of the expanded Peace Corps and expanded AmeriCorps—and thus the total costs for Service Patriots America—would be approximately $55 billion annually. Note that this calculation includes the current annual spending on Peace Corps and AmeriCorps members, but does not include current annual spending on active duty military
