It's a little long to embed here, but comedian Steven Crowder does a good look at Comrade Bernie Sanders in this video.
Also, a pretty good impression of Sanders.
I'll just add that someone did some math on Sanders' promises and said they add up to $18 T over 10 years. As always, when I hear numbers like that I don't assume that means $18T divided by 10 and he increases the debt $1.8 T per year. And I don't believe anyone can predict 10 years out in the budget with any reasonable certainty. That said, Crowder assumes that linear, 1/10 every year. He still pretty well demolishes Sanders.
In the World of the High Tech Redneck, the Graybeard is the old guy who earned his gray by making all the mistakes, and tries to keep the young 'uns from repeating them. Silicon Graybeard is my term for an old hardware engineer; a circuit designer. The focus of this blog is on doing things, from radio to home machine shops and making all kinds of things, along with comments from a retired radio engineer, that run from tech, science or space news to economics; from firearms to world events.
When I hear a number like $18T - or any other number relating to proposed govt expenditures - I mentally divide it by the number of taxpayers (approx 100M).
ReplyDeleteIf that's more than the amount I currently have in my wallet and/or feel like giving away, then I'm against it.

Flood the country with illegals, er, sorry; "Dreamers", make it "discrimination" to ask for ID at the polling places so the Dreamers can vote, make sure to get out the entitlement vote, and voila, you've elected a Bernie Sanders. Or at least a Hillary Clinton.
ReplyDeleteWe have maybe one more election cycle to turn from the brink. I don't have a lot of faith that the general public is smart enough to understand the danger we are in, or what we are about to throw away for a few empty promises of freebies.
