Star Member boston bean (22,949 posts) How is Berniegoing to give free college education to everyone? break up the big banks? increase taxes on the 1% to the level in Ike's presidency? get single payer health care for all? Win an election without accepting PAC $$? They are all nice and admirable thoughts, but how the hell is he going to do it?

Star Member JustAnotherGen (16,083 posts) 11. He has to do this incrementallyHere are a few things he could do. First - Implement a four year cap on tuition. Second - Expand/Increase financial aid (true aid - not loans) and who is eligible. Third - Have an understanding that the Fed Gov isn't going to shut down every single corporation in America, seize their assets, throw every CEO in jail, etc. etc. - and with this understanding - we have to provide a stellar work force for said businesses. When you believe in business - you believe businesses need qualified employees. You commit to providing them with employees who don't go home and lay in bed at night focused on paying off your loans for the next 30 years. That hurts productivity - and prevents those employees from investing in the economy.
Now this, is pure (D)Ummie:
