Hi Cactus Flower,

This has nothing to do with Hillary, these are my thoughts.

'Businesses' are leaving the US to avoid taxes, hire cheap labor, & be unrestricted with safety & environmental standards.

I'd like to see the minimum wage raised & be linked to CPI.

We need to offer more trade schools, not everyone is college material & once you have a trade you'll have a better chance of finding work, in your area.
You can't out source plumbing, carpentry, cosmetology, etc ;))

The Peace Corp is another avenue to help young folks discover careers.

Keep in mind, many Americans still resent Obamacare, about 46% or more.
Bernie sounds like a raving Socialist to them ;))

hi clo,

or so hc wants us to think.

bernie's model allows the candy to be handed out. at the expense of the very rich.

free college is cheaper than the loan-based model which drives up prices. it is also a decent investment for taxpayers who want the young to fund (via tax) their retirements.

there's a benefit to parents taking leave for their children but i think the state should pay for it if it wants to insist upon such a programme. places an unfair burden on businesses.

he's talking about scandinavian norms. they seem to be doing very well for themselves, economically. so it is viable. but it fundamentally reconstructs us society. you don't have to live as a brutalist if you choose to expand the number of public goods. you go wrong only if you go too far.
