I just heard from him, wanting me to join him in the democratic socialists.
Democratic socialism with just a dash of capitalism - people can still get rich, it just gets much harder to be dirty filthy rich. Sounds good to me.
Everyone should be entitled to a quality education through to a doctorate, and quality health care through life - with those policies health care savings through lack of stress would be significant - oh and we could get real, a bandaid should not cost $45.
Oh and thanks for all the laughs through the years Ed!
