8. Bernie is one of my senators, and yes, I trust him more than most politicians

While the title is not overwhelming positive as most Bernie supporters would write;

I also think we need more understanding of what the hell is going on here.

So far the administration has been particularly opaque, perhaps even more so than its targeting of drone strikes. This opacity naturally leads most of us to think that there are a bunch of deals that are being worked on that aren't in favor of the general American public.

Personally, I don't trust any of them without seeing the proposals ahead of time, having time to understand these, and then being given a forum to affect the outcome.

Right now I think the only ones that have seen all of the chapters/sections/paragraphs are the corporations, other countries, and some lobbyist/lawyers. All of whom will benefit from this obscurity.

Strange way to run a democracy.
