So Bernie is putting off his speech on socialism.

7. You have Bernie's positions, and since Bernie believes in Democracy it is up to the people which

they want to afford. But here goes-Bernie has told you that the cost of Free College will be paid for by a speculation tax on Wall Street transactions. Secondly if we do a medicare for all, at the peoples choice like all of Bernie's positions, the funds made available (approximately 15 percent of the total paid for health care) is certainly sufficient to install Medicare for all. He also plans to reduce medicare and health care cost by negotiating with pharmaceutical companies which in itself will lower medicare costs by several percent more just as it has reduced cost of pharmaceuticals for the current Veteran's Administration. Our society already pays more under the current system than we would under a single payer Medicare for all where the government works for us not the medical insurance and pharmaceutical industry. The $15 minimum wage is paid by employers unless the employer is the government. The Obama administration already expects to fund this increase for federal employees and federal contractor employees. I am absolutely sure that wealth distribution by its very nature does not imply any costs to the Federal government except rewriting tax codes to eliminate loopholes and raise rates. So no real cost there.Cost of breaking up big banks, I see no cost here either. Full employment is through funding infrastructure repairs and improvements, goals which even republicans know increase employment. Economists agree that more education increases skills and increased skills increase employment. So adding this with support for infrastructure and the increased demand for goods and services made possible by the increase to a living wage of $15 should do the trick of full employment. Tax increases do not cost money to the federal government so I will not address it .
As for those who take Bernie at his word, he has always kept his word.
Pragmatic can be a name for giving in too easily too you know. Bernie has the same values I have and his message resonates because he and the people agree.
