Misogyny anyone?

83. I would like some facts and figures to go with all the pipe dreaming.

This (below), is from his website-no figures, nothing specific, just sweeping promises. I think the goals are commendable, but tell me how it is going to be accomplished. He has always been vague on the details. It is much easier to promise and harder to deliver. He does not want to take the heat or the scrutiny for committing himself to the details. What has he accomplished as a senator?


"Details
In the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, everyone who can work in America should have the right to a decent-paying job. We can and should have a full-employment economy. In 1944, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt talked about the right of every American to have a job. That was true then. It is true today. A job guarantee will lower the crime rate, improve mental health, and create a stronger sense of community. It will create a much healthier and happier America. A full-employment economy is not a radical idea. That means:

As part of the Green New Deal, we need millions of workers to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure—roads, bridges, drinking water systems, waste-water plants, rail, schools, affordable housing—and build our 100% sustainable energy system. This infrastructure is critical to a thriving, green economy.
At a time when our early childhood education system is totally inadequate, we need hundreds of thousands of workers to provide quality care to the young children of our country.
As the nation ages, we will need many more workers to provide supportive services for seniors to help them age in their homes and communities, which is where they want to be."

Two post offices, bicentennial day for Vermont, one bill includes women as vets, a protection act for a mountainous area, and an interstate water usage bill. Nothing since 2013-14. Not exactly a heavy hitter.
