  1. +Jason Banco FDR turned a recession into a depression

  2. +SodaBoy628 The recession started before FDR. Let us look at some history In 1920 we saw a crash that was just as bad as what happened in 1929. Hoover was asked to do something by Wilson and when Hoover came up with a plan things were getting better due to no federal government intervention. Come 1929 another crash happened. Hoover tried to do something but things did not get better. FDR tried to do something and things did not get better prolonging recovery making a depression. It wasn't until the war and his death that we got out of the depression. Every single recession we had in this country except for two we recovered from in around 5 years or less. The two we did not were the great depression and the current situation we are in now. They are times when the federal government was the most active in "fixing" the problem, but history shows that it made it worse. So again, FDR turned a recession into a depression. Bernie will do the same thing.

  3. Bernie is an economic illiterate and will make the current situation we are in worse. Anyone who endorses him clearly is clueless.

  4. +timfidotru "emulate the economic conditions of existing countries" You cant' compare us to other countries due to a large amount of differences involved, mainly societal. Just because something "works" in one country doesn't mean it will work elsewhere. " countries that do much better in those areas than the USA." Even if you are to make a direct comparison of the US to other countries (as I just said you really can't) you will see that those countries are not better off than the US. Arguably they are worse. For example the US has arguably the best healthcare system in the world. So if your arbitrary standard is to look at other countries when we should follow what we do in healthcare. "To say that his proposals are unrealistic is highest form of either unawareness or bias." Actually no. Making a comparison to other countries is the highest form of unawareness or bias. You are taking a complex issue and limiting it down to 1. they are countries 2. people live there Here is where your argument falls apart 1. Those countries are not doing much better than us is you want to make a direct comparison. As I said the US has arguably the best healthcare system in the world. To say they are doing much better than us is displaying ignorance 2. In reality you can't compare. Which country do you want to follow? Germany who tracks their students and by force of law prevents people from going to college? Denmark who has mandatory military? Norway who subsidizes their programs with oil (meaning we will have to drill and frack more)? Tell me, which program? Never mind that a lot of those countries have small populations and little diversity. So it isn't that Bernie is an economic illiterate, but he is a nut as well.
