Bernie Sanders: Don’t Need 23 Choices of Deodorant,18 Choices of Sneakers When Kids Are Going Hungry
   
May 26, 2015

LOL, you have to laugh.

The Socialist running for president says he doesn't begrudge Hillary Clinton for the money she makes giving speeches.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who is running for the Democratic nomination for president, represents everything wrong with the populist redistributist left. Channeling his inner Hugo Chavez in an interview with CNBC, Sanders bemoaned the choice of deodorant and sneakers in this country, because children are starving. Via CNBC:

 You can't just continue growth for the sake of growth in a world in which we are struggling with climate change and all kinds of environmental problems. All right? You don't necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants or of 18 different pairs of sneakers when children are hungry in this country. I don't think the media appreciates the kind of stress that ordinary Americans are working on.

Sanders, of course, is mistaken on the fundamentals. Economic growth is not a goal for the sake of itself—economic growth ignited by the freeing of markets has lifted more people out of poverty in the last century than any other force in history. Choices in the market contribute that improvement of the human condition—not just because 23 choices of deodorant mean more jobs than one choice of deodorant but because in a very real sense more choices mean more wealth. Bernie Sanders and those attracted to his economically illiterate, anti-capitalist rhetoric live in a world where working conditions haven't changed since the 19th century, where the United States is perpetually one tax or spending cut away from collapsing into Mad Max style chaos.

Sanders peddles in the brand of populism where the wealthy are openly villainized, but he's careful not to say he begrudges Hillary Clinton for pulling in six figures a speech (for her insight, of course, not her political connections). He may be hedging his comments because he sees Clinton as vastly better than any Republican alternative, or he may be hedging his comments because he career hopes are for a similar speaking circuit. Here's the relevant exchange from CNBC:

in full: https://reason.com/blog/2015/05/26/bernie-sanders-dont-need-23-choices-of-d
 

Only a limited number of comments. zzzzzz   Man the millenials will love this when he asks why do you need an iPhone and iPad yada yada yada.....

Send in the guy with the hook and get the bitch in the pant suit sobered back up. :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

It won't bother them a bit.  They will hear it in terms of "Why do you need anything BUT and iPhone and iPad."  Millennial Progs don't think like normal people.

Sooooo, lets say Bernie wins. He eliminates 22 brands of deodorant. We have only one choice of deodorant.

How does that magically turn hungry kids into well fed kids?

It doesn't, but it does put a lot of deodorant manufacturers and their employees out of business.

Well, I'd like to remind Bernie that the Democrats don't need two choices for their presidential candidate in 2016; one should be enough.

That one of course being the one it's gonna be.

I would suggest that Bernie should stay true to his roots and run as the socialist that he is in his heart of hearts. I would also suggest that we do our damnedest to get him added to as many state ballots as possible as the proud 3rd choice.  :fuelfire:

I'm still of the opinion that Bernie is on the Hildebeast's payroll.

Compared with a crazy bomb thrower like eighty-year-old Bernie, the Hildebeast looks young and politically benign.

Otherwise people would see a far-left moonbat, as old as dirt, who's as dishonest and amoral as her husband.

Starving kids? Wait... I thought we had an obesity epidemic among kids?

http://www.apa.org/pi/families/resources/newsletter/2012/07/childhood-obesity.aspx

Bernie probably hasn't missed many meals himself. Some pigs are more equal than others and Bernie wants to be the most equal pig in the USA. Like Chavez. I bet the Venezualians are happy with socialism. Seems once Chavez took over there ain't too many obese people there.  Wonder why?

Well, it puts the kids of the manufacturers of the other 22 brands onto the welfare rolls.  So, the State has more that it needs to feed itself while pretending to care about the kids.
