This country needs to better invest in its people, not so much a paradigm shift or revolution. Every candidate had their idea of how to better invest in Americans.
Chuck Todd and Chris Mathews both two of the most well known MSNBC hosts literally have compared Bernie's support to Nazism. They deserve all the skepitism headed their way.
You understand that the person who has been advocating for this for 40 years is going to be trusted more to at the very least advocate for those principles rather than being content with power once they have it.
Bro, it's all about giving candidates equal time and opportunities. How else will the candidates with "low polling" have a chance to improve their chances?
No it isn't what ? - You said: My response was a simple: Happens to be right up my alley .... my field of study. And you say No it isn't ? Business / economics is my field of study. Simple fact here is you don't like the answers to those questions so you try to change the question. The simple fact is the math is well documented , not only by my calculations but those of many others. I posted one yesterday that was pretty much a mirror image of my calc's - Nook posted something very similar. Bernie Bro's doing the same thing right here in this thread .... accept they refuse to accept raw data along with opposing opinions. I have to question your math education is absolutely comical ....
Like I said... real easy to do as an indendpent senator from a low population, small economic state. Houston is bigger than Vermont in that context. Hell, Fort Bend country makes Vermont look small. Bernie is sincere and consistent but how will that consistency work as president.
Imagine if modeling the economy just took a 20 second post of basic arithmetic. Again, the economy is a dynamic system with thousands of variables. I question whether it's up your field of ally because you call state space modeling as basic arithmetic.
Damn y’all really still going. Guys take it easy we will have many more future elections threads to insult each other in
Warren killed herself a couple weeks ago going after Bernie personally. The ultra leftists didn't like it and moved their support to Bernie. There are just too many centrist Dems splitting the majority of the Democrat vote to challenge Bernie who has a strong base of super leftists. Bloomberg is the Dems only hope of defeating Trump and they are beginning to know it. He may have made a critical error sitting out Nevada, but he's the best shot for Dems to defeat Trump. Meanwhile, the better Bernie does, the higher the odds of Trump being re-elected climb. Its going to take a couple of centrist Dems dropping out and supporting a surging Bloomberg to top Bernie and actually having a shot at Trump. Odds makers have actually shifted to Trump winning the popular vote if Bernie is the nominee and Bernie does terrible in the Big Four swing states.
It scares me that moderate Americans think a president can win a general election by proudly claiming he wants to ban an entire religous group from entering the country vs someone who wants a healthcare system similar Canada. My point is, wasn't Trump an extremist when he ran against Hillary?
Disagree about Bloomberg. We don’t have any primary results to show that he can actually win delegates. I think someone else could edge out Bernie but I’m not nearly as high on Bloomberg’s chances of slaughtering Trump in the general. His debate performance was very troubling
You are trying to muddy the waters to support your candidates positions , I get it. You cant support the math so you question its validity .... Tell that to Wharton. Government spending as a percentage of GDP is a fairly straight forward calculation and even Bernie's camp used the same calculations. Here - for your educational enjoyment. https://www.city-journal.org/bernie-sanders-expensive-spending-proposals https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2020/1/23/sanders-wealth-tax
It scares me that people still think people don't vote with their wallets. I just don't think a socialist is going to defeat a President in the middle of a strong Economy. While there may be some people not reaping the full rewards of the strong economy, there are more people that are that are doing well. Its tough to tell a lot of those people with good jobs that we're going to raise all your taxes. Yeah, we'll tax the millionaires and billionaires, but you're not escaping it either.
This is flat out false. 60% of Americans today are living pay check to pay check. 40% of Americans either have no health insurance or don't use their current health insurance because they are afraid of out of pocket expenses. The economy is fueled by consumer debt. Houshold debt has reached all time records. Your statement about a small amount of Americans being left behind is a really out of touch statement. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/11/hou...-in-12-years-federal-reserve-report-says.html We seriously need to decouple GDP growth from making statements about how the common American is doing. Remember in 2006 when people were saying how strong the economy was literally 1.5 years before one of the nation's largest economic crashes in our history? Our economy for the past few decades is pretty much Americans racking up debt during booms and defaulting during recessions.
What’s false about what he said? People vote with their wallets, regardless if it’s debt fueled or not. Consumer confidence is still high whether you like it or not.
