Bernie is demonized for wanting to spend on healthcare and education
But where will we get the money? scream the conservatives
Yet we always find the money to build more prisons or invade and occupy another country
We can't even pay for the prisons and military as it is, we have to borrow.
What is your solution, free all prisoners and disband the military? We'd still have to borrow to pay for Bernie's plans.
My solution:
End the war on drugs. Stop putting people in prison for non violent crime. End mandatory sentencing
In terms of the military: Redefine the mission of the US Military. We don't need to be the worlds policeman. Make Europe, Japan, South Korea and especially Saudi Arabia bear more of the burden in policing their region of the world
While we're at it, let's end the war on poverty as it has been a lost cause. Stop handing people someone else's money thinking it will be an incentive to do better.
What's wrong with mandatory sentencing? What's wrong with having standards that say if you are convicted of this (fill in the blank), you will spend this many years (fill in the blank) in jail? Should it be based on factors that really have nothing to do with the crime itself?
You did provide a link. I guess you didn't consider me properly grateful. However, you continue to misunderstand the concept of taxing hedge funds.That's how Hillary said free tuition to public universities was going to be funded.
Link?

Prisons are being privatized. They're now a for-profit industry...but only if you keep 'em filled.
How do you suppose Eisenhower presided over a booming economy? Sanders' plan is very similar.

It's been called the New College Compact. It involves making tuition free for public universities, reducing interest rates on loans, and does so by having the wealthy pay more in taxes.
Politico seems to have moved the page, but I found the updated one:
Hillary's $350 billion plan to kill college debt
It's funny how she's copied that from Sanders' plan, except that Sanders' plan calls for a tax on hedge funds. Big difference.
However she came up with it, it's her plan and it does exactly what I said she proposed doing. Both plans call for taxing the wealthy. There's your link.

The problem is they come up with rigid requirements that do not allow judges to look at each crime on its own merits
They also create three strikes rules that turn a series of minor crimes into a major sentence

Also, I guess you would have hated the prosperity under Eisenhower...
Where do we get the money to field a military that is stronger than the next ten nations combined? Where do we get the money to keep 2.4 million Americans incarcerated?
It is a question of priorities
All I need to understand is that socialist like Clinton and Sanders want the rich to be required to fund anything they can use to pander to a voter.

But I bet you're swooning over that Great Big Wall that's gonna keep the immigrants out, huh?

I don't necessarily support a wall. I support putting armed guards at the border spots where people sneak in and doing what I would do to someone trying to sneak into my house uninvited. It's cheaper and it keeps them from doing it again after being sent back.
Wow, you can post Photoshops! Would you like a sticker?All I need to understand is that socialist like Clinton and Sanders want the rich to be required to fund anything they can use to pander to a voter.

So you spend your tax dollars on that. The rest of us will be making sure our kids are educated so they can compete in a global economy.

Condolences on your complete lack of a sense of humor.
You mean so they can pay more in taxes to fund someone else's kids college or provide handouts to the illegals you don't mind coming here.

Your inability to find humor in my "sticker" comment is on you.

I mean "American kids."

You are boring. It's so sad to see USMB overrun with BORING PROGS.
Educated at what? Medieval Studies?

Anybody who suggests spending $18 trillion is in want of math. Since a number like that is beyond comprehension of Democrats, that is 18 thousand billion. Think about it. If Sanders seems to have any chance of winning, the money will flow out of the US faster than Hillary can tell a lie.
Trade schools would also be an option. Currently a degree from a trade school averages 33K (about the cost of one year for an academic degree), which is out of reach for a lot of people.Educated at what? Medieval Studies?

Global economy? Where do your kids think that exists?
Not in the USA pal.
Unless your kid has a PHD from Harvard in chemistry and computer science and is willing move to Mumbai and be paid 30K a year working/competing against the brightest 'kids' on the planet your 'kids are pretty much fucked.
Today I can drive to my local Starbucks and watch twenty 'kids' with Masters and PHDs making fucking coffee for all the people going off to work at Walmart.....many of whom have Masters and PHDs in fields completely useless in today's global economy. Wise up pal and tell your kids' to wise up to. If they are seriously interested in being able to earn a living wage tell them to enroll in a trade school.

Anyone who's still repeating that $18 trillion figure is being calculatedly ignorant, particularly when the accurate figures have been posted right here in this very thread.
