Oh he's so anti-establishment, Pfft. He's an outsider, yeah. The guy has been a politician for 40 years, most of that time in DC. What makes him special? Claptrap that tickles liberals ears; Wall Street, banks, billionaires, class-warfare, tax corporations until we achieve utopia. He's an economic illiterate. Socialism never works, it's proven to be mediocre at best and Venezuela at worst. What is a Democratic Socialist? Sounds like pansexual.
When I had a reddit account, I was a member of BernieSandersSucks. I am thinking of starting it here, just to rub faces in crap.

My favorite is the "free" college, always love it when politicians start pandering for votes with my money. Then Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush followed suite. In the mean time I continue to help pay my wife's students loans down that she accrued obtaining a master's degree. Maybe I'm just a hater because I don't want to give all the shit away I worked my ass off for.

I agree with free college, there is more than enough money being wasted to cover free college and health care. These are two areas I believe we really need to improve if we are going to remain the greatest nation on earth. Ideally though, it would be much better if we could just bring these industries back to being reasonable and prevent the extortion that is going on then we would be much better off than just having the government pay for it.

My point is that there is no "free", somebody once said that when politicians start saying free hang onto your wallets. It especially annoys me when they pander for votes talking about "free" stuff.
I agree with you that college costs are out of control and I'd appreciate if they could reign it in before they start throwing our tax dollars at it. I have 4 kids and college costs are so expensive that with inflation it's literally impossible to save enough for all 4 and I probably what you would consider upper middle class income wise.
