How Bernie Sanders would transform the nation - WAPO
In the America that Bernie Sanders wants to create, tuition would be free for every student at every public college.
Which, of course, is another way of saying that the government would pay for it. To do that, the Democratic presidential candidate would spend $750 billion over 10 years, and raise the money with a new tax on Wall Street trades.
And, once government was paying for college, colleges would run by government rules. Sanders’s rules. For one thing, Sanders thinks student centers are a waste of government money. He’d make sure they didn’t get any more of it.
If he becomes president, Sanders would spend an enormous amount of money: $3.27 trillion. At the very, very least. But he is not just a big-spending liberal. And his agenda is not just about money.
Bernie Sanders — a senator from Vermont who describes himself as a “democratic socialist†— will never get everything he wants in Washington. And that still would be true if he became President Sanders. Republicans in the Congress would fight him fiercely. Democrats might not be much help. In fact, Sanders’s most recent Senate bills — legislation that would make college free and provide universal health care — attracted exactly zero Democrats as co-sponsors.

How are you going to get elected if you are not going to get anyone to work with you? Now granted, this is the media saying this, but that has been on my mind since he started running. He already has fierce resistance in Congress, how is making him President going to improve that?
While he has some good agenda items, the above and several other key things all listed at some point or an other in the article concern me.
Don't jump on my because I have not fully committed to any candidate at this point and probably will not until closer to voting in the primary. So blasting me for this post will not sway me one way or the other at this point.

7. who is this columnist? never heard of him.
Obviously this is his opinion.
Who is he?
Oh geezuz Judy.
By the way, the Bernie bullies on Skins island have been so good at cowing the supporters of Messalina Agrippina into silence that the latter's gone and formed a new message board, from which the Bernie bullies are excluded.

It's too bad the supporters of the worthier candidate for the Democrat nomination ceded control of Skins's island to the Bernie bullies; they should've stood their ground and fought.
<<<still can't believe Skins let this happen.

I haven`t seen Judy much,was guessing the home for those aged folks whose faculties are greatly diminished was keeping a close eye on her.

The primitive should know better than to tell the Bern-outs this. This does not parallel their fantasies. To them, the bern has made it clear "L'etat c'est moi".

The Bern-Outs still don't realize that the Clintons control the superdelegates. You know, the ones whose decision on their nominee actually matters. That isn't goint to change.
'Course, if Slow Joe or the Goracle get in (see Drudge for the link on the Goracle), some superdelegates might bolt.
