"They just understand we're not gonna go there," "Why not? We are are the richest country on earth." Because we became, and are, the richest country on earth, without having to "go there". We don't change fast. We're prolly still not at TR's 1912 healthcare for everybody. Obama's pre-K hasn't been discussed since the day after the SOU speech mentioning it.

You know why kids like Bernie? He's telling them they can get a free $13,500/year education from Cal. They prolly think room and board ($12-15K) will be free, too. What's not to like? I'd drop out of school for 6 months to work for somebody who would do that for me. Ain't gonna happen. It took 50 years to go from $250 to $12K; it's not going back in one year, or even in two terms. You think kids are mad at the system now? Wait until this fails.
