  4. +Eddie Iler I guess you failed economics. What drives economic growth is wealth creation. Money is meaningless if no wealth is created. Jobs are meaningless if no wealth is created. And you don't need to grow demand, demand for better goods and services already exist. That is why businesses push for better goods and services and try to make them affordable. Why did Apple make the 6+ iphone? Because they knew people want better things. But in the end it is still expensive. But that wealth creation drove down the price of other phones. You have to remember one thing, you can't consume what you don't produce. More money flowing when wealth is not being created means the dollar value is lower. " currently productivity is up with low wages " Increase productivity has led to higher disposable income. Also wages are not low because 1. Businesses pay with benefits now (hurray payroll tax) 2. More women entering the workforce is keeping the average wage low (why women earn less is another topic all together) "Also putting more money into the pockets of average Americans will help the market grow. more local businesses will form as people can afford to spend money at them. " As I said, you can't consume what you don't produce. If people artificially had more money than businesses will just raise prices. They won't be able to keep up production. I know the history of economics and when Bernie talks it is clear that he never studied economics.

  5. +Eddie Iler "Don't bother replying it'll fall on deaf ears." Typical Bernie Sanders supporter. When faced with a counter argument and facts they plug their ears and go "la la la" like Bernie himself. You can't circulate wealth that does not exist. You need to retake economics.

  6. +Tawnku Imi-Uru In capitalism you can't hoard wealth because if you did then a competitor will sell off their wealth to get the edge. If people don't have money then prices will go down if the supply of wealth goes up. But if the supply of money goes up and wealth doesn't then prices will go up. You have this false idea that money has finite value. It doesn't. Money is only as valuable as what it produces. You can give people $500,000 and that will do nothing because that $500,000 produced nothing. We can use one of Bernie's policies as an example. "Free college" won't work because we already lack professors, dorms, classrooms and other resources. And spending money for someone to get a history or music degree is not an investment as it does not create wealth. I do have a real-world education because I am pursuing my PhD.

  7. +Eddie Iler What is "reasonable pay"? Now you are starting to sound like Bernie Sanders, throwing around rhetoric with no specifics. Plus if those products don't exist then people can't buy them.

  8. +Eddie Iler $30,000? Really? I make around $24,000 a year, and out of my co-workers I earn the most due to another seasonal job and a part time job. I make it just fine.

  9. +Tawnku Imi-Uru Businesses don't pay more for one simple reason, they can't afford it.

  10. So Bernie's plan is to spend money........what is new? And how does he expect to pay for all of this? Oh, I forgot, this will somehow will pay for itself along with taxes on the rich. Climate change is a tricky subject. There is no set solution. We are taking methods to go to "cleaner" energy but we can't drastically change our ways on something we know little about. This will destroy our economy, drive up our debt, and make us worse off. Bernie is a nut. I hope he wins the primary, watching his crazy ass on TV and losing by only getting 40% of the vote will be fun.

  11. +Racist Bassist Elect a republican president. Under Bush and a republican congress spending in research went up.

  12. +gunnyblender I am not trolling. As Neil deGrasse Tyson said, no republican wants to be poor. They understand that advancement in country has come from science and technology. That is why under Bush spending in that area went up.

  13. +Eddie Iler FDR didn't pay for anything. The recession that happened near the end of Bush's term is natural with the economy, recessions happened. It was mishandled due to the bail outs led by congress and it would have been worse if the republicans would not have taken over the house because Obama wanted another one.
