Sign our Twitter Petition in support of Senator Sanders: http://act.ly/460
The views of progressive Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and conservative Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Social Security are contrasted by The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur.
@bassbignbad we, starting with the Bush administration, have allowed the banks to transfer as much as 13 TRILLION onto the tax payer since the crisis began. The right started a war that will cost at least 3 trillion (which the left largely opposed), passed tax cuts during that war, fought another for over a decade now (1 trillion), spend over a trillion annually, all things considered, on our military empire. They created a corporate welfare monstrosity with Medicare Part D too.
@bassbignbad For one, HOUSEHOLD debt has exploded. The Fed says it doubled between 1975 and 2005. The household debt to earnings ratio has gotten worse since the financial crisis began. Corporate debt has gone up as well, especially the debt of the financial sector. People like you ignore all of this and focus just on the government. It makes no logical sense. Is there a reason you don't mention this? Beyond all of that...
@ttketb666 And when asking the question if somewhere is a good place to live or not I think it has to be seen in a relative context doesn't it? I mean.. compare the US history to that of any major power in history and you'll see more benevolence by extraordinary percentages from America than anywhere else. And if you say it's not true... well basically that's a perspective based in hate.
@ttketb666 Yes.. I am aware of the specifics of the Scandanavian application of Socialism.. and they are not truly successful. Look at the growth curve of Scandanavian economies... oh.. there isn't one. Maybe some would argue that's a good thing. But when speaking about the U.S. it is not ever going to be possible to have a similar Government because it simply could not work given the factors of economics and international trade that is specific to the US.
Marco Rubio, ignorance is a bliss! Get your head out of your a s s, you should be quiet as your parents would say "los niños hablan cuando las gallinas mean". Learn something from someone doubling your age before you open that mouth which is nothing but a "letrina".
