The problem with Sanders it's not that his ideas are bad. It's that they are very poorly planned.

If you want to implement a good idea, then do it! And if you need some money for it, that's fine, you can raise the taxes a little bit.

Rich people will give you money anyway, if you have a good project to show them.

But when your rhetoric is just some superficial shit, then we have a problem. Bernie Sanders is like that. He wants rich people's money, fine. But what for? He doesn't say. He only has some vague ideas about healthcare and education, but nothing that really fits the profile of anything.

He wants to make college free. OK, but why? Where's the benefit? Explain it, Bernie! Do you have some stats, some arguments, something to explain and back up your plan? Or did you just dream your ideas while watching movies about Narnia?

The problem with socialism is that it's empty on the inside. If you want to take rich people's money, and restrict freedom of speech, just say so. Don't sell some vague idea that you can't back up.

But thats just it, when compared to every one else, the rich people pay shit as a percentage of income.

That doesn't even begin to cover the whole republicans saying no to EVERYTHING. And they where pretty open about their no to everything plan when Obama got elected

Oh, also, let us not forget that the bail out was passed by the republican controlled house and senate, and signed by a republican president.
>>
>>673664445
Now why should rich people pay?

Because like it or not, they too are dependent on our roads to transport their goods. They are dependent on the power that the U.S grid provides them to produce their goods. And they are dependent on an education system to keep their workers educated so they don't act like fucking idiots and can make informed decisions about shit. Because a population of idiots clearly is not working in the USA

The question is: why the fuck should I give money for some adults to go to college and study philosophy and arts for free?

>>673668543
You didn't answer the question. This isn't about roads, this is about college education. And you have yet to prove that free college education is actually productive to me or anybody else than the person receiving the money.

Do you think that people who go to a college to learn philosophy and arts, and while they're there are subjected to all kinds of restrictions on freedom of speech, are intellectual and informed?

One needs to pay for college tuition because how are we going to keep the roads good if we dont understand how the roads are built, let alone how to build them.

How are we to fix the electronics we are all dependent on when no one has the training to do so?

Tell me, how are we gong to treat the sick and mentally ill if we don't study philosophy and arts? How do we determine what is right and wrong as a society if we do not have the arts to tell us what we are like? Are we to just trust the bible, because we have tried that for sometime now, and its not working yet....
>>
>>673667729
All research I've seen posted or links provided are based on economic policies and laws from before he started campaigning that no longer hold true, and from far less than reputable sources, such as relying on economists from community colleges. Beyond that, making college free doesn't help. We already have far too many people with degrees that can't get a job in that field because too many people have that degree. That could only work if there was a shift in society to stop seeing jobs that don't require a degree as not being worth it. The amount of social programs he wants to put in would require a significant tax increase, because there's no where in the budget we can trim enough money to pay for what he wants to put into place. There is a lot of bad spending to trim, but he's overambitious in his potential spending.

More important than any of that, he's Democrat. Historically, so long as one party is in office, the US as a whole votes for the opposite party to control congress. He won't be able to enact any of his plans if he gets in, so he's only worth voting for if you want four years of almost nothing done.

If any of those plans even get put into place, Congress will actively work against the payments being put in to place because it's majority Republican. He'll bring new social programs, maybe, but then be stuck with taking credit for the worst debt America has ever been in. A Democrat is almost garunteed to be ineffectual if elected in this year, not a fault of the candidate themselves but of the political system the US holds.

BULLSHIT! BULL FUCKING SHIT ALL THE WAY!
In America, 1% of the people own only 20%, not 46%. And they don;t actually own it, because they are part of a family, so their entire family, parents, spouses, children, cousins, all of them take part. They only hold the property title, not the actual control.

Then, other people actually benefit are the people who work there. If I own a building, you can say I'm rich. But I'm not enjoying the building. People who work there are paid. And they also enjoy all the fucking chairs and computer and the air conditioning. So, you might want to take another look at your drawing.

>>673669856
OK, you now say that college keeps the economy moving. That argument is wrong, but at least it's valid.

Let's discuss it. We have the ability to make rich people go to college. If you're poor, you can still go to college, but you should aim for a scholarship.

The problem is that some people don't have money (which is understandable), but they ALSO don't have the capacity to learn. Aha...

And people in the educational field AGREE on this. They say, for example, that only a few people with philosophy degree need to be sponsored, because they are talented and because we do need a few philosophers. But, only a FEW.

The problem arises when people know they are not good at philosophy and they won't get a job (but they hope anyway), and then they demand free college to follow their shitty dream that won't happen.

Having college more easily accessible does not mean everyone gets a phd in poetry. It does mean that unskilled workers willing to perform shit tier jobs become more rare, and thus can command more pay or benefits. Others will go to trade schools allowing them to specialize and potentially sew the seeds of economic growth in poor neighborhoods. Lastly, it gives people a sense that they are free to choose what they become, rather than having it dictated to them by economic realities they inherit via the accident of birth.

At midterm, more republicans will get put in unless there is a serious scandal with congress. The majority of the country is filled with morons. The president almost always takes blames for bad laws. Obamacare, for instance, is no where near what Obama proposed originally, but he gets all the credit for its failure, despite the large majority of the bill, as it is now, having been rewritten by congress. The same thing will happen with Bernie. He'll try to get something passed, congress will change it, it'll have Bernie's name on it, and he'll get the bad credit. Seeing another bad democrat, the people will vote more republicans into the congress. I'd love to see a system where Bernie could get his plans in, untouched by Congress, but it just won't happen. You need to vote on more than just political ideals; you need to consider the practicality of those plans being put in as proposed right now.

Beyond that, I'd be all for a covering college costs, but only if they person going can display the desire or ability to get the job related to that field. Essentially, a massively expanded academic grant system. I don't want tax dollars to pay for the degree of a college athlete that will never use it, nor am I interested in having it pay for fields that don't produce jobs, such as art history and gender studies.

You're right, I can't predict the election. I can, however, look at the history of elections and make a reasonable guess at how the public is going to continue to vote.

Our education system is shit and needs massive overhauls. Bush then Obama have made it progressively worse over the years, but I haven't heard any plans from Bernie to tackle the public education system, beyond colleges and universities. Could you link me to anything related to that?

I concede the point on Reich, however I was talking about other economists that Bernie has since stopped referencing. He's improved on who he seeks counsel with.

Hit character limit;

As far as college graduation rates go, we have too few STEM graduates, too many liberal graduates. That isn't likely to change just because of free college. What isn't considered, though, is that making it free would mean a significant increase in the number of new college students. Massively increased class sizes would cause the quality of education to drop for a while, until new facilities and professors are at the point they need to be.

There isn't much difference between Democrats and Republicans. What does make the difference is who they'll go with based on that title alone. Republicans tend to support a Republican proposed bill over a Democrat proposed bill, even if the two attacked the same issue and the Democrat bill was undeniably better. The same happens in reverse. That's the only reason Congress' majority party is relevant at all.

I'm rather young and I live in a neighborhood that is below the nation median of wealth. I went to 2 public schools, and a private highschool. For 8 years I was in the public school, I was bullied beyond belief. You wouldn;t believe what they did to me or you would call it "accidental", or you would ignore me. I changed schools, still shit.

Finally, I convinced my parents to give me few thousand dollars a year to go to a private school,. and I finally started learning and passed the SAT with a score of 1840 (which is kinda low). Had I stayed in the public, I would have been retarded by now. A lot of the times, when my parents call me, I still insult them for leaving in the public for 8 years. I could have passed the SAT with a score of 2200, had they not been negligent.

I was in public education. I had scores of 2150+ across the board. It also depends on where you live and how motivated you are to learn outside of school. All my schooling happened in upper middle class, majority white and Asian town of about twenty thousand people, and there are plenty of people who get top college scores coming out of terrible neighbourhoods because they studied. The only point your parents deserve fault on is not doing more about you being bullied.

Yeah, they also don't live in a billion times as many houses or wear a billion times as many shoes or sleep on a billion times as many pillows. That's the problem, they cannot possibly consume enough to drive a major economy. If you give a poor guy an extra $100 he's going to go out and buy some shit he needs and someone will get paid to produce it, if you give a rich guy an extra $100 he's going to just bank it because he's already maxed out his consumption level.

I personally have seen that if someone's intelligent enough the college education is not the only way to become successful. Also if they are poor but do well in school they should end up getting
Scholarships for college if they chose that route. If everyone gets college educations it will devalue the jobs they would try for after the fact due to supply and demand. Also people hiring grads would really question if the person is smart enough for the job if they open the doors to anyone wanting to get the education but may not be able to pull their weight in the real worl

Fair point. But when you give a retard 100$ to go to a fucking imbecile art college, instead of letting perhaps a rich fellow invest it pay it to somebody that produces for the economy, I draw the line.

Dont know if youre being sarcastic but I hate career welfare queens. All I meant was that the workforce works how it should.

The government isnt obligated to make sure everyone has a meal on their plate. You the individual are.

Yeah, your right. I should be forced to work more then 40 hours a week, just so I can barely put food on the table for the kids that I was told I couldn't abort or put up for adoption. Your right, I want to be living on welfare forever. Your right that this doesn't happen and that its not a problem.

FUCK YOU, YOU RETARD! I was VERY motivated. I went to math competitions and I earned very little money from it, because hey, the retards at my school had to have their free education, so why give me money for my math skills when you have to give retards free gender studies classes?

And I could have had even better results. I was the best in the entire school, but the best in my state because I needed a little more freedom and a little more money. I tried my best. The problem was that most schools were public, and it was very hard for somebody to build a private school, because all the land was taken by the government to build shitty schools for shitty kids.

So, FUCK YOU AND YOU POPULISM! You and your peers are many, but you are all retarded!

a president doesn't need a strong plan for things that he can't control, such as making laws. all he needs is a vision. i hate it when candidates make promises about lawmaking when they are supposed to be merely enforcing it. the only solid plan bernie needs is foreign and military policy.

ECONOMISTS AND FINANCIAL EXPERTS IN FAVOR OF SEN. SANDERS’
WALL ST. REFORMS
In our view, Sen. Bernie Sanders’ plan for comprehensive financial reform is critical
for avoiding another “too-big-to-fail” financial crisis. The Senator is correct that the
biggest banks must be broken up and that a new 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act,
separating investment from commercial banking, must be enacted.
Wall Street’s largest banks are now far bigger than they were before the crisis, and
they still have every incentive to take excessive risks. No major Wall Street
executive has been indicted for the fraudulent behavior that led up to the 2008
crash, and fines imposed on the banks have been only a fraction of the banks’
potential gains. In addition, the banks and their lobbyists have succeeded in
watering down the Dodd-Frank reform legislation, and the financial institutions that
pose the greatest risk to our economy have still not devised sufficient “living wills”
for winding down their operations in the event of another crisis.
Secretary Hillary Clinton’s more modest proposals do not go far enough. They call
for a bit more oversight and a few new charges on shadow banking activity, but they
leave intact the titanic financial conglomerates that practice most shadow banking.
As a result, her plan does not adequately reduce the serious risks our financial
system poses to the American economy and to individual Americans. Given the size
and political power of Wall Street, her proposals would only invite more dilution
and finagle.
The only way to contain Wall Street’s excesses is with reforms sufficiently bold and
public they can’t be watered down. That’s why we support Senator Sanders’s plans
for busting up the biggest banks and resurrecting a modernized version of GlassSteagall.

Im sure youre baiting but I think the other Bernie supporters in this thread can afford to read this at least.

What I don't understand is the whole endgame of politics. Let's say the US, or China, or Eussia's platform extends to envelop the whole world's. What then? What is the point of control over a rock floating through space that does not have ether power to change anything other than the microcosm of its own self? The universe will remain the same, life elsewhere will exist as it will. What is the point of national politics if not to join forces as one planet and excel beyond into the rest of the galaxy,to the rest of the universe. Trump, Sanders,Clinton. .. they all focus on values of the modern man, the living man... when we will be alive for less than a fraction of a moment. It is not ourselves we need to govern if humanity is to have a future: it is our great grandchildren and their descendents, the future beyond our limited vision. I can see no value to the hedonistic perspective of modern politics

Risky how so? Without a global government there is nothing to gain. Imagine your body if your limbs, or organs were controlled by separate entities instead of a brain to connect them? You would accomplish nothing - so too shall the world accomplish nothing if it does not act as a singular unit.

Both parties are wrong because they don't even understand that the basis of this country is the Constitution.

Leftist fags want to ban scary black "assault weapons", feel like illegal immigrants should just be allowed into the country, and want the government to pay for their everyone's shit.
Rightist fags wants to force some stupid religious shit, continue the failing War on Drugs, or ban abortions.

He has to spend about 20 hrs a month to deal with it. That's just one small slice of an obscure thing. I have a mining licence and am trying to claim some area to mine gold here and it's completely retarted how many forms and licences and permits I have to get. Took about 4 visits to the gov offices to just to get into their online gov website and my licence to be able to even start thinking about mining

I imagine the timing might make it look that way- when oil becomes more valuable, gasoline becomes more expensive, transporting food becomes more expensive, food becomes more expensive- if we don't adjust the minimum wage, more and more people won't be able to afford food, less food gets sold than is being produced;

extrapolate this across all goods and services industries simultaneously and we have a mass recession, possibly a depression- minimum wage must increase with inflation

This. We are all told in school that we should go to college and nothing else is acceptable. People hate big business but they seem to fail to realize that colleges are big business and high schools have incentives to get you to attend them. If everyone gets to go to school guess what? Everyone can't be high paid elites. It will mean changing the entire education system. Instead of being able to pay to get what degree you want you will likely be made to test and told what you will go to school for. Most of these positions will be blue collar because blue collar jobs are needed much more than white collar ones. That means new facilities will be established to support all this blue collar training. And i see the end result as the individual having less freedom in their life than ever before. How will all the SJW's feel when they get told they only tested high enough for assembly line technician?

If you think educating the country without having them go massively in debt is a bad idea I have to wonder if you value education at all.

Similarly, giving people health coverage is far more useful than our shitty current system where everything's costs too much and people are also going in debt for that.

The very idea that we decided as a country to go "Hmm you know what should be about profits before their actual purpose? education and healthcare! " proves how stupid of a country we are.

Some corporations need to loopholes to survive, if you close the loopholes they will either move outside the usa or go bankrupt.

Renewable energy.... Dude, in my country we are forced to pay 10% of our paycheck to keep the windmills and solar panels working because they need a lot of maintenance and a coal power plants of equal power output running all the time at 100% because green energy's output fluctuates meaning if you didn't have backup power shortages would happen all the time and a lot of stuff would break. So green energie is not green because you got a coal plant behind it. My vote goes to thorium reactors, but they are to expensive to build.

Yeah, yeah, sure. Right now, my health insurance costs exactly 1000$ per year.

Let's say under Sanders, I would pay 800$ in taxes. But the medical system would be shit, like the Canadafag described.

And you come along and say I should pay additionally 1000$ for a private insurance. So, with Bernie Sanders' tax included, I would pay 1800$ for my health.

But wait, there's more! Since the government would take the market, some people wouldn't be able to pay for private anyway. That makes the private companies actually jack up their prices only for the true rich, because there would be less private companies able to compete with the govt. This makes the cost of private insurance go from1000$ to 1200$. So, the final price goes u from 1800 to 2000.

But wait, there's more! Remember when I said Sanders's will make you pay 800? I was optimistic. Maybe he will make you pay 1000, same as the old-no-Sanders private insurance. So, 1000(Sanders) + 1200(private)=2200$

So, I'll pay between 2000 and 2200 for the same shit I get now with 1000.

But wait, there's more! Best case scenario, Sanders is really smart, smarter than the free market. He makes the healthcare good. And hes a socialist, so he makes us pay. Due to inefficiencies, his lowest price will be 1200$. So, indeed, it will be good health for 1200$, which is still 200$ more.

IF, and only IF Sanders proves to be smart.

And also, it will be mandatory. Right now, I pay 1000 and I pay it only if I want to. Under Sanders, I WILL have to pay 1200.

No, retard. Some people are smart, and deserve college, deserve scholarships.

The rest don't have the potential to be educated at all because they're retards. In fact, you demotivate the smart ones by equating them with mediocre faggots.

The bottom line is simple, the smart should go to school. If you're not smart, you'd better be rich.

You need to get it inside your head that not all people are equally smart. They're just not. No matter how you many times you say it, they're just not.

the speculators themselves now go to the surrounding countries, with bank accounts in those countries. The government is trying to still force the taxes on them, but a poll said that 3 out of 10 speculators will move to to on of the surrounding countries. The speculation taks is that if you buy and sell stocks within a time period of 6 months you need to pay taxes on the profit you made, but if you sold shares a month before with a loss and with the new shares you sold you made break even the taxes will make you get a loss, because the taxes don't take losses in account only profit on individual stocks. Of course if you sell the stocks with a timeframe longer than 6 months there is no tax.
It's just one year old the new tax, but 3 out of 10 speculators have plans to move according to a recent poll.

That's exactly the point, faggot. True curriculums have never had a problem with politics or the economy. No matter how poor you are, fi you have the brains to be an engineer, the school will find a way for you. Physicists, engineers, programmers already don't pay.

But retards go to psychology instead of computer science, because they say computer science is too hard. And they don't want to pay for psychology either. How many artists or psychologists or philosophers do you really need? And there are waaaaay more philosophy and psychology and art students than engineering. And they want their school to be free too.

But if you want free college, a free Steam account, a lady with big tits, and 5 children, then you might have to work for it.

The technological revolution nowadays has improved our lives, but we can't all have cutting edge stuff all the time.

80 years ago highschool was not for everybody, partly because some people are too stupid even for highschool, partly because there wasn't enough money to go around. And even then, people didn't complain as much.

I am not at all unreasonable or non-idealistic. I wish for a better world too. But the truth is we have to wait a while. We have to work meantime.

You are so retarded, you literally don't understand school is not free, and you pay it with your taxes. That's why we are richer than you, we don't pay such high taxes.

And, your schools are also shitty, and that why Americans invented the phone, computer, and internet you're using as we speak. While you didn't really invent that much.

>Doctor is priceles
Again, it's not "priceless", it's not free. You pay a fuckshitton of taxes. Especially the rich people, but also the middle-class.

And your doctors are not that good. If they were, people from all over the world would go get treatment in Europe. They don't go to Europe because you have shit doctors. Your good doctors come here, to America, because they are paid more.

People come here to get treatment, but it's not free here, so they go to Israel or China. They don't go to Europe.

Education being 'free' has obvious benefits.

Think, ffs. Why are countries with better education systems richer? Think.

The higher the standard of education the greater the GDP. The increase in GDP then increases educational standards. It's a positive cycle where the house always wins.

Higher standards of education lead to higher levels of taxable income through higher incomes further down the individuals lifespan.

Everyone wins.

It's retarded NOT to have college education 'free'.
