I listen to what Bernie is saying. One is that he is all rhetoric and no specifics. If you were to break down his policies they simply won't work. Take "free college". The student loan debt is 1.2 trillion dollars. How Is Bernie going to pay for that? Believe me, people with student loan debt will fight to get it paid off if other people are now getting "free college".

+Megarational If Bernie fund college then there will be a lot of people coming out, me included wanting our "free college" by having our loans paid off. We will say it is our right to a "free" education and demand to have our loans paid off. 1. Bernie's own numbers has the government paying for $70 billion, 1/3 coming from the state from ??????? If you look at current enrollment and average tuition cost it will cost over $78 billion. Bernie still falls short. Even with that he is not considering the increase in enrollment. And how is he going to tackle the lack of professors, dorms, classrooms, computers, and overall resources? 2. Having more art and business majors is not "higher education". It is not "higher income" or "more tax revenues". We are still more successful than those countries you listed in several ways. And we have the best university in the world. Why do you want to ruin it?

+Megarational 1. Universal single payer healthcare simply won't work in this country unless you lower the quality of healthcare. We lack the doctors and hospitals and resources in general. It will either increase the price of healthcare driving up our debt or lower the quality. 2. Affordable college won't work under Bernie's plan. Bernie plan is to have the government spend $70 billion on college education. 1/3 of that comes from the states which is coming from ?????? It is estimated that it will cost around $78 billion in tuition when you consider current enrollment and average tuition of public university. And how is he going to pay off the $1.2 trillion college loan debt? And also how is he going to fix the problem of lack of resources as well? Such as lack of professors, dorms, classrooms etc. Both of those issues are due to the federal government getting involved to begin with. Adding more layers of government and bureaucracy will make matters worse, not better. The reason why the rich buy out politicians is because they have power. If you limit the power of the federal government then can't give out any favors to the highest bidder. Giving the federal government more power won't work. Sure Bernie might not be bought out but what is going to happen when he is gone? After his 4 or 8 years and we get a new president. What is going to prevent them and the future congress from being bought out? You see Bernie's ideas are going to compound our problems and makes things worse. He is all rhetoric and no specifics. Sure people want affordable healthcare and college but Bernie's ideas simply will make the situation worse. That is why I say idiots vote for him. I actually, in some ways want him to win. I am a skilled worker. I will always have a job and money. Him getting elected and things getting worse will maybe get people to learn. Like the child touching the hot pan and learning not to do that. Maybe if Bernie gets elected they will see his policies simply won't work.

+ marcus casillas "niversal Healthcare is completly affordable, as it takes the responisibility off employers and places it on the individuals" Actually no, it increases demand without increasing supply. If you want to take the responsibility off of employees and give it to individuals then get rid of the payroll tax. "not to mention you are no longer forced to pay premiums." We will be paying a higher tax, no different. "as far as quality is concerned, do you mean that by changing how our healthcare system works that suddenly doctors and nurses will just not give a shit? or are you talking about waiting lists? because waiting lists is considered rationing healthcare, which we already do" Resources are limited as is. We lack doctors and nurses and supplies. You are supporting rationing where I support getting the most out of our resources. Think of this, I do research in a lab where I am on my feet constantly. I am also a college sports official and thus move around a lot. If I hurt my knee that is not a "life threatening" injury. I put life threatening in quotations because to me it is, but to the government with limited resources it isn't if it plans on giving care to everyone. At that point I am on a waiting list and can't work as a sports official and become limited in research while someone ahead of me gets care. If that person ahead of me is someone in their mid 30s who works a low paying job, refuses to get better, and contributes little to society then is it the best use of our resources that they get care first or me? The reality is me, but by the government standards it is first come first serve. This is why socialism fails in a lot of ways. You are rewarding failure and hindering success out of "equality". Even with that the US has arguably the best healthcare system in the world. "have you even read what Bernie said about tuition? a Wall Street Speculation tax will more than cover tuition costs for everyone that wants to attend and can get accepted." Actually I have, he said that will cover 2/3 of the cost. The states will pick up the rest which will be ?????? So have you read it? " obviously not everyone is going to go to college" Says who? Are you going to limit that? If it were "free" then why not go to college a get a degree in life just for shits and giggles? And again, as with healthcare, you are increasing demand without increasing supply. "any other questions?" Yes. So if Bernie does become president and pass his policies, are you going to take economics in college so you can realize how everything got messed up under Bernie's plan?
