Bernie Sanders is not bound by mere mathematics. His ideas are too wonderful to be limited by numbers. He transcends 2 + 2. In Bernienomics, 2 + 2 = 8 or 42 or anything he wants. Because that's just how the left runs economies into the ground. And why should Bernie Sanders be expected to have a better grasp of political numbers than economic numbers?

And this is how you get "free shit" for everyone !

The whole concept of the welfare state goes against math. People vote themselves free things, and they have no concept of their value. Pair that with fiat currencies which allow the central banks to dictate currency, and you end up with an entire system already not based on math.

Sanders isn't special in his inability to do math, he's just the newest iteration.

Which states vote republican? Which states have the highest number of people on welfare? Do some basic research.

And how many Republicans advocate for the abolition of the welfare state? Not many. Furthermore, these numbers of people on welfare are well below 50%. How about you look at your research and actually do some thinking.

Most of the red states vote on something called principles, and the number that does that well outweighs the number voting for their own greed. Even then, most of the Republicans are not Ron Paul, so this is a completely irrelevant conversation. There are few Republicans advocating the abolition of the welfare state, and most people are voting for perpetuating it, regardless of whether they're Democrat or Republican. I don't see many Republicans calling for the repeal of Social Security or anything of the sort.

This is about the most off-topic rebuttal you could have put forward in so many ways.

Why? How many major countries can you name that have collapsed because their welfare states became too expensive to maintain?

Greece? Soviet Russia? Zimbabwe? Venezuela? I can keep naming socialist hellholes that have de facto collapsed due to their inability to fund their gibs....

Everyday you get sadder Boise.

The authors about section: Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.

I just love the shill man portion. Especially given the political activities section of Bob Shillman's Wikipedia. Just a rich guy who bought a mouthpiece for his political views. It's all so perfect, if it weren't everything you rail against if it is an opposing viewpoint.

Shillman sits on boards of The Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous and the David Horowitz Freedom Center.[2][5][6]

He also funds Brigitte Gabriel´s ACT! and Frontpage magazines, and argues against US accepting Syrian Muslim refugees.[7]

President George W. Bush appointed Shillman to serve on the Honorary Delegation to accompany him to Jerusalem for the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel in May 2008.[8]
