WHAT DEFICIT??? Turn off all the NONSENSE now. What did ICELAND do? They told them to stick it,arrested the politicians ,and bankers, now they are doing just fine. Check for yourselves.Stop buying into all the lies you hear. The Fed was set up illegally by a bunch of Governors who did NOT have the authority to contract you, or me to JACK.Forensically account from day, one and make the thieves give it ALL back,EVERYTHING.We owe NOTHING-ZIP-ZERO.When have you signed a contract for that debt?

I listen to bernie on T.Hartmann & like his views,but isn't it really just another someone who tells it like it is,is likable,well informed,kinda like Mccain before he became silly,but in the end it's just more bla bla bla with a nice delivery.He & others like him will come & go & nothing will change unless there is a cival war,a complete uprising.

[Nethr]

It is surely a sad thing that out of so many elected officials there is only one good man among them that actually seems very worthy of trust.

[Long John Silver]

Thank you George Bush and your Replublican cronies for two useless wars and the Global Financial Crisis.

Senator Sanders is a great American. When one family in America owns more than 60 percent of the American people it is fundamentally unfair and we have lost our way as a nation. The mere discussion of giving more tax cuts to the most wealthy is a disgrace.

Sen. Sanders has repeatedly spoken out against "free trade" agreements that destroy american production and jobs

[ci bolo]

He is partially correct. It is not that the Republicans are BAD or even the Democrats for that matter, it is the top 1-15% of the wealthiest people that are CORRUPT. They own the banks, wall street, the politicians, the mass media amongst everything else. That is why I can only write about them here, as you will never hear about the true corruption in Washington and on Wall Street from the Main Stream Media as they are OWNED (literally) by the ELITE. You want Freedom? Overthrow the elite.

Aside from George Washington (parties hadn't really formed), no.
