(180 posts)Finally a candidate who says the military funding has to stop!
How about using all those billions of dollars to help AMERICANS get out of poverty, building infrastructure, creating jobs in America and I don't mean minimum wage jobs . Opening factories here in America with good salaries, FREE college for everyone.
Breaking up all these monopolies airlines, banks, etc WOULD create MORE jobs!
Putting money into our school system, and paying teachers good salaries, in order to attract better qualified candidates.
What kinda of country BLAMES ALL there problems on TEACHERS, yet never looks to the poverty, home life, family problems ( mental health problems which come into the school system), lack of jobs, gun violence in a community,etc.
CONGRESS SHOULD be held accountable NOT SCHOOL TEACHERS for the problems America faces!
Health care for all!
Increase the monthly payments to seniors on Social Security, congress should try living on $1200 a month! We're a wealthy country, why do we have money TAKEN out of that S.S. Check. They take $104 for part A and $45 for part D. So that $1200- 149= $1151 each month to live on. Then if you want supplemental insurance, that's more out of that check and prescription medicines!
What's left to live on???
Why not think of PEACEFUL solutions instead of going to war and killing people all the time.
BERNIE HAS to be the Democratic candidate, HIllary IS the establishment and will KEEP the status quo, and support Wall St. And the Corporations.
America can't afford another administration doing NOTHING for the middle class!
Bernie HAS to be the democratic candidate! NO MORE DEFENSE MONEY!
