My Gawd You Are Attacking Bernie With What? Really?

Bernie said 1% of what Castro did wasn't horrible, and it is like the end of the world.

God Help Us. Bernie stop saying things that are actually true. We need to make demagogues out of every single thing that doesn't prove the USA is the greatest country in the entire universe, and our poop doesn't ever stink. America First, Second, Third, and Fourth all at once!!!!! Get with the program Bernie.

Maybe if Cuba wasn't hosting so many corrupt Americans, and the mob there would have never been a Castro, ya think?

I guess Cubans didn't like our mafia running their country, and chose a horrible solution. Fidel. Look at all the rich Cubans who were making $$$$ off the gambling, drugs, and prostitution that had to flee. It's not like they lived in a democracy ran by the rule of the people.

I am no Cuba expert but the poor there were being treated like crap before "The Revolution" according to what I have seen in documentaries.

"Things" are a little more complicated than a regular American's brain can comprehend. Most folks here don't even know the difference between communism, and socialism. They pay too much attention to the Sarah Palin's of the world. Being a stupid lemming is celebrated on the Republican side.

Read up if you want to see what America was up to. Pretty sad.

America Spends 3.6 Trillion A Year On Healthcare

So how is Bernie going to get $30 Trillion to pay for medicare for all over 10 years?

By saving $6 Trillion.

For the math challenged.

No it's not rocket science. It's math. 36 - 30 = 6

The 1% has 50 Trillion in wealth. Maybe they could pitch in a little too?

Ya think?

Now how you going to pay for Bush's wars?

Borrowing from our kids!

I Changed From Undecided To Bernie After Watching CNN Town Hall

I was undecided because of fear of Bernie's health issues.

I was stuck between Bernie and Elizabeth Warren.

I am all Bernie after tonight.

Made a donation, and am proud to be a supporter of truth, and the 99%.

Bernie will slaughter Trump with our help.

And we might get affordable health care, and college out of the deal.

Wow.

I Guess Steve Schmidt Didn't Watch Bernie's Town Hall Where He Said How To Pay For His Programs

Steve Schmidt on Brian Williams' show was complaining about paying for Bernie's programs is a secret. Not after tonight.

Bernie says how he will pay for his programs on his website tonight.

It is simple. Tax the folks that have 50 trillion in wealth, and hugely profitable corporations. Not rocket science. It's not like we ever asked how we were gonna pay for a tax cut for the rich, or a war right?

From me not Bernie. (below)

30 Trillion over 10 years. Yes folks, 30 Trillion. Not extra, but what we are already going to spend. Bernie is going to spend all the money we waste on overhead on actually treating sick people, and keeping the corporations to profit off the sick.

Capitalist Health Care = Pay or Die. Pretty simple.

450 Billion a year on needless overhead managing thousands of crappy plans.

Take all the insurance company employees and train them to help sick or disable people instead.

You get a benefit from the $$.

Our system is murderous. Period. If you aren't rich, or lucky, you are bankrupt and dead if you get real sick. Even with insurance.

Time to do what they do 50 miles from Bernie's house where everyone has healthcare for half as much per person, because they don't profit off sick people as much.

Boom - Bernie

This is how I'm gonna pay for it.

Sorry folks.

Bernie has been doing math a long time.

I bet his numbers make more sense than Trump / Ryan.

They Cut Regulations On Polluters And Still Have To Borrow A Trillion A Year / Economy Sucks

Since corporations don't have to pay for their pollution any more, I would think the stock market should be around 40,000.

Has anyone done a future death toll for all the "job killing regulations" King Trump has cut on pollution?

I think it would benefit everyone to calculate how many people will die from all the increased pollution.

If no study done, take a wild guess and announce it. Let the Republicans show data to dispute your death toll calculations.

It's 100,000 a year from smog, and that will be going up.

https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2019-04-08/100-000-americans-die-from-air-pollution-study-finds

I am tired of hearing about how selling the planet down the river to "have a great economy" and running on it sounds. People will die from the pollution.

Trump wants to bring Cancer Alley to your towns America.

No Quarter - Anyone Feel Free To Use This

"Republicans think it is ok to rip the babies from the arms of mothers fleeing for their lives, and then lose them".

When you say this to the face of a Republican they can respond a thousand ways. Ignore what they say. Simply tell them.

"You are just evil. Just simply evil".

If they babble more nonsense, just shake your head and make a cross with your fingers.

I doubt it will affect them, but you will feel better.

Carry the fight to the enemy.

Also if you want ask them why if the economy is doing so good we have a trillion dollar deficit. You won't get an answer.

It Is Who Is Going To Die Not How You Going To Pay TO COVER EVERY AMERICAN

I am tired of the idiotic debate on this.

All citizens need affordable healthcare. 100%. Without it thousands will needlessly die like today, and yesterday. Even with the ACA. It moved the needle but 100 million are still SOL if the get sick, and the rest will still probably go bankrupt if the get real sick.

Other countries with 5% of our GDP can cover everyone.

It is not how you going to pay, it is how many will die if you don't find an affordable way to treat everyone.

No corporation has an answer to this, but boy they sure are running ads to scare us.

Who besides me is not willing to send our fellow Americans, any fellow Americans off to die if they get sick?

We need the cheapest way to provide the best care for all Americans.

Period.

I am not willing to sentence anyone to death because they aren't lucky enough to have a great job, or a rich daddy.

Good Job Bernie And Elizabeth You Got Them Running Scared Running Anti M4A Ads And Lies

I just saw an ad on MSMBC that says Medicare for all could double income taxes, and close 1,000 hospitals.

Pure BS. They are truly running scared.

Oh the stock price, the stock price!!!!!

The didn't mention all the people dying today because they can't afford treatment, or medication, but hey, why would they.

It's all about the $$$$$.
