Bernie is specifically talking about universal healthcare and free education. I agree with those things. And then Hillary keeps saying :"where are we going to get the money"? Those are Republican talking points.

I'll tell you where we can get the money, from the same place George Bush got the $5 trillion he pissed away on those wars and tax cuts for the rich. The Republican's always just break the bank, so there won't be anything left for important social programs, or the poor. And then the Democrats get in and have to pull us out of the hole.

I don't think our society can put more money into education and universal healthcare then we will get back in increased productivity, reduction in crime and reduction in health costs. Not to mention mitigate our immoral approach to these issues heretofore. So it really would just end up being sort of a loan. So let's take out a loan like that and while we're at it take out a loan for infrastructure and green energy while interest rates are low.

But Bernie does say where he'll get the money. Break up the banks and make the rich and Wall Street pay their fair share.

But from just a purely strategic point of view, I think Hillary's making a huge mistake by not only attacking Bernie, but the way she is doing it, by misrepresenting what he's saying. We all know what he's talking about. She's going to try and pull the wool over the eyes of a bunch of liberals? No wonder Bernie leads Hillary by 42 points among the millennial's. I bet it's a similar number among the liberals. All she's really doing is making a lot of liberals angry, and if she wins the nomination and gets in a tight race with one of the Republicans a lot of those kids might stay home.

She sorta had me fooled for a little while, but lately I do not like what I see. And I don't think I'm alone.

I will still vote for her if she wins the nomination, but I'm not going to equivocate on Bernie anymore. Full speed ahead for me.
