I’m glad they’re doing this. We need more examples of liberal ideas that fail miserably instead of expecting people to be smart enough to realize a bad idea when they see one.
With today’s education system cranking out low-information voters by the millions, they’re only going to learn by us rubbing their noses in it like a bad puppy.
LIBs/DIMs should never be given one iota of authority, power or influence. They are mentally ill. Their “ideas” are merely the random firing of defective brain cells. While (perhaps) they are not actual zombies, they appear zombie-like.
The other half starting beating the poll-takers with baseball bats...
the Vermont socialists should be proud to lead the way and show us the benefits of everyone paying European style socialist taxes for healthcare

That’s EXACTLY what our constitution was intended for. Here’s the 10th Amendment:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
Justice Louis D. Brandeis’s understood this as allowing the states to be “laboratories” of democracy for policy experiments to see what works and what does not.
If it does not work or works disastrously, at least the damage is LIMITED to the state, not the entire country.
Unfortunately Obama, the so-called constitutional professor, never understood this. I wonder what they taught him at Harvard....
Let them eat cake.

Beware, another Vermonter is planning to run for President in 2016. Howard “The Scream” Dean will want to implement this disastrous single-payer policy nationwide.
Isn’t Bernie Sanders (Socialist) also planning to run for president?
I fully hope the Scream runs again, maybe with Algor or John Kerry as a mate - it would be worth it to watch Biden hoisted on his petard
It will be like one of those Star Trek episodes where everyone goes back in time
As goes Vermont...................so goes the nation?........................
Is Leaky and Bernie from Vermont? Is either up for reelection?
Doubling of taxes, and yet the worst part is...This is in the most homogenous state in the nation with little in the way of a welfare culture!
Imagine what this would cost in a state like CA, IL, PA, ?!
Obamacare on steroids.
And I’m betting it won’t be free.
If its not free, there will be few takers.
LOL - Good one Daniel Greenfield ...
RE: As goes Vermont...................so goes the nation?........................
I think the original state was OHIO ... “As Ohio goes, so goes the nation”, indicating that it is a crucial battleground state and whoever loses that state, loses the presidential election.
So goes the nation? You referring to “empty” which might well be the end result when rational and employed Vermonters and their employers respond to this disaster by relocating?
Higher taxes and more spending are good for the economy, our Ivy League betters insist.
Since we do not live in an objective world, its inevitable failure will not result in a eureka moment in progressives where they finally understand that you cannot have your cake and eat it too. Instead they will blame any and every free market force still in existence and seek to crush it.
