Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumWhen politicians like Clinton say it can't be done it means that they don't want to
Clinton and others have already said that what Bernie is proposing can't be done and he's a dreamer but the real reason it that they don't want to. On many of the issues which benefit ordinary people like Medicare for all, free college, expanding social security they simply don't want to do it. Much of it it do with connections to Wall Street.
Then she boasts that she is the one that gets things done but what in fact did she get done for ordinary people?

(1,656 posts)I grew up in California and went to free <to student> college. This was in the 1970's.
It was within the California State University system and got a damn good education.
You see, smart people see that free college is a good thing for society. The result
is smart people entering into the job market and making all of America 'a more perfect union'.
The oligarchs want America even more 'stupider'.

(1,656 posts)My CA college education was tuition free. Period. No grants, no nothing.
Ok, there was a $100 healthcare and processing fee per semester. The
students also paid for books and room&Board.
I worked growing up and paid my entire way thru college.
