I agree. Funny how the democratrs cheer when talking about breaking up the banks, but they never talk about breaking up the government.
Well said. So why do you think America should have a massive Government? I get the proportionality argument? But is there anything more to that?
we can cut from now till the cows come home and it will still be massive. It's like a software program that has been written over the years by many different programers and nobody can get a grip on the whole thing. Parts are obsolete, but can't be deleted because that will make something else disfunctioanal. So it's not the size, it's the complexity.
I don't know if Bernie Sanders understands economics, but he sure does understand Wall Street. When you recommend that X be Bought because you want to Sell X , that's one thing. But when you recommend that X be bought because you want to Sell X knowing that X is a rotten investment while representing yourself has having the buyer's best interests in mind, that's fraud; that's Wall Street.
I think his failure to understand economics is his second biggest weakness. His biggest weakness is his failure to understand human nature. He has a genetic disorder that prevents him from understanding that I am not going to get up every morning and work a ten hour day so I can turn over my paycheck to the US government so that some other guy can have a better life. Bernie cannot even begin to grasp the logic behind why that will never happen. Like I send its genetic. A common disorder among liberals from what I understand.
No it isn't. Madison Avenue does it all the time. Advertise what is for sale. Then we have the freedom in a free market to buy ... or not. The onus is on the buyer to understand, evaluate and put a value (to them) on something. Then make a decision. Not the gubmint.
