Looking to the General Election. Bernie needs to stress his experience in the BUDGET COMMITTEE.

Fiscal Responsibility in a Moral Economy will be very important to all of us and of, particular interest to Swing Voters. It is a STRONG POINT compared to all the other candidates. He has a very strong resume.

Budget
Sanders spoke for over eight hours in his December 2010 filibuster.
On September 24, 2008, Sanders posted an open letter to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson decrying the initial bank bailout proposal; it drew more than 8,000 citizen cosigners in 24 hours.[121] On January 26, 2009, Sanders and Democrats Robert Byrd, Russ Feingold, and Tom Harkin were the sole majority members to vote against confirming Timothy Geithner as United States Secretary of the Treasury.[122]

On December 10, 2010, Sanders delivered an 8 1?2-hour speech against the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, the proposed extension of the Bush-era tax rates that eventually became law, saying "Enough is enough! ... How many homes can you own?"[123][123][124][125] In response to the speech, hundreds of people signed online petitions urging Sanders to run in the 2012 presidential election, and pollsters began measuring his support in key primary states.[126] Progressive activists such as Rabbi Michael Lerner and economist David Korten publicly voiced their support for a prospective Sanders run against President Barack Obama.[126]

Sanders's speech was published in February 2011 by Nation Books as The Speech: A Historic Filibuster on Corporate Greed and the Decline of Our Middle Class, with authorial proceeds going to Vermont nonprofit charitable organizations.[127]

Senate Budget Committee
In January 2015, Sanders became the ranking minority member of the Senate Budget Committee.[120] He appointed economics professor Stephanie Kelton, a modern monetary theory scholar and self-described "deficit owl", as the chief economic adviser for the committee's Democratic minority[128] and presented a report aimed at helping "rebuild the disappearing middle class", which included proposals to raise the minimum wage, boost infrastructure spending, and increase Social Security payments.[129]

1. I am focusing on the GE. Changing the narrative.

I am going to reconsider my ignore list. After Wisconsin, I got really excited and emptied out Half my Ignore List. I am beginning to think that was a Yuuuge Mistake.

There is nothing of substance to discuss with them.

Moving on. Going Forward. Eye on the Prize.
