A town hall meeting with Senator Bernie Sanders.
October 16th, 2014.
Bernie starts at 21:40.
There are no questions and answers.
This is all Bernie !!!!!
Bernie lays out the facts.
He gives the data and sources.
He explains everything in detail.
He explains the problems !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He has the solutions !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not understand how any informed individual would not
support this man on his political record on the issues.
This is the most in depth talk with specifics that I have heard to date.
He is the only politician that I have heard that lays out
the facts regarding all the problems this country is facing.

(6,476 posts)That's where you want to be...try posting it to video and multimedia...that might be better.
Even if your familiar with Bernie this is a good talk. This guy is so far above everyone else when it comes to addressing the whole package, what's wrong and what to do to fix it. There isn't any triangulation or polling..just straight talk, honesty! A very rare thing in Amerika.

(62,325 posts)'They now want to own the government, and we are not going to allow them to do that, not in Richmond ...
'Koch Bros wealth increased in one year, by over 12 Billion'
Obama and Romney spent each about 1 Billion. To the Kochs, one billion, five billion, is nothing. They have literally unlimited amounts of money.
He goes on to say that now with CU the Kochs can spend as much as they want.
'They want 100 Employees in the US Senate' ... 'That is what they think Democracy is about'.
This absolutely needs to be a huge issue in this election. Now is the time to start educating people.
Bernie talks about how money can suppress the vote, 'they hide behind their money, trying to make it difficult for seniors, POC, vulnerable people to vote. SHAME ON THEM!'
'What they want for their money'?? 'They got Think Tanks all over the country'
They favor the abolition of Medicaire and Medicaid, change it to a voucher system ..... their vision, you have cancer, you get a check for $8,000 to go to a private insurance company. How long will that pay to keep you alive'?
Then he talks about the Chained CPI. ... Cuts to SS.
Kochs want to eliminate SS altogether.
People should be hearing this talk alone, every single day until they view MONEY IN POLITICS as something that makes a candidate unelectable.
He is fantastic, he has the issues down pat, AND in this he reminds me of FDR, he has solutions.

(62,325 posts)about that anymore. Talks about the waste of the Iraq War, financially and otherwise. Got applause for that also.
Talks about how a few decades ago, University education was tuition free. Now most are privatized.
Talks about other countries where education is free.
'Maybe we should learn from Germany and Holland where every young person can go to college for free'.
Compares medical students here to other countries. 'They come out of medical school with over $300,000 student debt.
Then talked about the Wall St Crash. 'Feds lent out 16 TRILLION dollars with 0 interest, to bail out Wall St. Maybe we can do the same for the young people going to College'.
'Highest rate of child poverty ...
He hits every issue ...
