Now you know why Bernie doesn't have too many friends among the owning class. I wonder why the hillarians don't want to save 19 trillion dollars.

for everyone, there is no check on them and nothing is left for what the people need and want. Say something against them and you will be called unpatriotic.

into the government and our communities. From Bernie's website:

"The Rebuild America Act would put more than thirteen million Americans to work in decent-paying jobs. These are jobs in sectors of the economy that haven’t fully recovered from the recession, like construction, and they are jobs that cannot be shipped offshore or outsourced overseas."

"Even the International Monetary Fund – long a proponent of economic austerity – now says that well-designed infrastructure projects spur almost $3 in economic output for each dollar spent."

And 13 million good paying jobs means fewer families that are forced to rely on SNAP and EIC.
