Really...any college kid who gets hyped up on socialism...ought to be sent for a week in Havana, a week in Moscow, and a week to live with welfare class of Germany. After that...they might shut up.

I think we Boomers may be the last generation to at least somewhat get it. I remember the Iron Curtain and radio free Europe.

Every time I talk to someone from an Eastern bloc country who escaped communism he or she says exactly the same things. Once they’re in the US, they become great patriots.
Although a fiscal conservative, I nevertheless would approve of the expenditure of public funds to transport socialist millennials to the socialist country of their choice. I hear Venezuela is nice.

A Bernie Sanders can’t follow through with his simplistic demands for the economy. Any idiot can see that it didn’t work anywhere it was forcibly tried, and it can’t work UNLESS IT IS FORCIBLY TRIED. So young people without knowledge of socialism history can be fooled.
And libs, who don’t have any common sense.
It takes a guy who grew up in socialism to get it, like this Russian student. Which is why I voted for Ahnold. He talked the talk. I forgot that steroids destroyed his b*lls.
