Sanders is proof that liberalism is a mental disease.

Bernie doesn’t seem to realize that at least half his constituency have no interest in working, and will turn on him in a heartbeat if they think they’ll be forced to it.

After 20 million pot-smoking and video gaming Americans refuse to come out of their basements to work - what then, Bernie?

-—“The goal is to eliminate working poverty and involuntary unemployment altogether,” said Darrick Hamilton...—

So this dummy thinks $15.00 an hour will eliminate working poverty?

What is involuntary unemployment?

at 4% unemployment, what’s the need? And do we want ‘caregivers’ that are just clockwatching? Liberal youth outside in the humid, bug-ridden forest with no a/c, slinging shovels and machetes clearing brush? Not a chance

And to think.

Hillary and the DNC had to cheat and conspire at the Convention just to keep this fool from succeeding.

What a party!

I like the WPA.

It built the courthouse in my county.

Not sure many people want to do blue-collar work, even for $15 an hour.

Sanders’ isn’t going to find takers for what he has in mind.

No, Americans don’t want to do work Americans don’t do. Period.

I believe the unemployment rate in the old USSR was 0%.

When East Germany fell, VW agreed to take over the Trabant factory (it would have gone out of business otherwise). The first thing they had to do was lay off 2/3 of the workforce.

Get rid of welfare and unemployment benefits after three months and that will change real quick.

The old USSR had a standing joke. “They pretend to pay us with something of value and we pretend to work.”

The remnants of which still exist today.

Go to a public restroom in Ukraine and you'll meet three employees. One sells you admission, the second sells you toilet paper, and the third is on mop duty.

Bernie is placing Hillary into a job as a dog-walker in the woods of Chappaqua.

Comrades, your pay will be doubled!

(And your rent, grocery bills, medical insurance, property taxes and other expenses will double too. The 1% does about 2% of the work, ordinary people whose pay will be doubled do the other 98%.)

Those old ladies and gentlemen living on retirement savings?

They’ll have to take a 50% cut in their lifestyle.

And the three of them,and their families,probably share an apartment.

“many iterations of the plan call for the expansion of federal child-care work”

Do you have any experience caring for children?

Yup, been at it two whole weeks now.

I’ll try elsewhere.

Are you accepting children?

We are waiting for state certification. We’ve told them not to rush just for us, we’re getting $15/hour for surfing the net.
