One of the features I heard about this morning was allowing full tax credit for daycare
A. We already do that partially
B. That is not feasible

His tax plan (SURPRISE) heavily favors the uber rich - Bernie made that a no go with his campaign.

they've taken the people out of the venue. He's trying to hold his composure - just saying thank you and not lashing out at the protesters. They have him on a short leash - it seems.

he pauses and kind of holds his breath so he doesn't say something damning to him and then he says Thank You.

I hope they fact check his speech because he's spouting off some wild statistics that I'm not sure are quite true.

- Tax cuts for the wealthy so it can finally...after 40 years... trickle down to us.

- Freeze on environmental and health and safety regulations, roll-back of existing Regulations.

- Beg billionaire corporations to "please bring your overseas money back to the US" at ridiculously low rates and no penalty.

- Weaken Labor Unions

- Claptrap about keeping more money in "your pocket", while simultaneously raising the fees and costs of municipal services we all depend on.

- Repeal Obama Care (no plan other than if you get sick you die)

- FREE MARKET SOLUTIONS!!!! USA, USA, USA, USA

- Childcare credit with not explanation of how you pay for it.

- Tort Reform!!

blah, blah, blah....
