Jobs out the wazoo!

Do the right-wing dems disagree?

If we spent that money on this millennium's needs and technologies, it could spur development, and new businesses that would have a multiplying effect. Solar energy, vast wireless networks, rural broadband, and goodness knows what else could bring about vast changes to our economy.

We can solve that puzzle.

Rural broadband and wireless networks will help save our environment just like solar energy.

We need to do these things, and we need to rebuild our bridges.

We also need high-speed rail. I live in California and would like to be able to travel to New York or Chicago or D.C. by high-speed rail. Why not?

Airplanes are fast, but they are incredibly uncomfortable, and their weight and fuel restrictions limit their usefulness.

We need high-speed rail that has been built to be safer than the high-speed rail in other countries. We also need a lot of overpasses for our highways and train tracks.

We do not need more fast-food restaurants or pizza joints. Nothing against fast food or pizza, but we have enough choices. We need better infrastructure.

That is a platform to run on. Vote against the war. No need to suck up to the 20%er die hards who will never vote anything but hard right. Let people show they are sick and tired of war and what all that money could do for this country.

Let's do it.

to renewable energy along with the roads, bridges, water plants etc.

Why they don't support expanding healthcare, social workers, mental health issues, teachers and education, etc. etc.?

Although plans like Bernie's make perfect economic sense to grow the economy, increase productivity and expand the middle class the problem (from the 1%-ers point of view) is that is spreads this money around. Who gets rich from hiring more teachers? Who gets wealthy from expanding the social safety net, providing health care to all Americans, rebuilding the infrastructure?

Better to fund endless wars around the world, continue pouring money into buying weaponry, etc. etc.

That way the majority of the trillions of dollars go directly into the pockets of the already obscenely wealthy. They have NO interest in seeing average Americans doing better, they want it all for themselves.

That's what will happen if we don't fix it.

He might make people think and the 1%ers would hate that .

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will not, nor will ever pay for themselves. That money will just go to line the pocketbooks of the military industrial complex, who stack it in high interest overseas bank accounts and pay no taxes.

He wins ALL the dems because everyone has taken a blood oath to vote for the nominee. He wins all Indies that were liberal dems and thrown out of the party.

He wins all the middle Indies that are common people who want a better life.

He wins tons of Millennials that loves a DEMOCRATIC socialist and doesn't know what Russian cold war communism is.

That's plenty, he wins.
