Unfortunately, there are many who think these comments by Bernie Sanders are well stated. The reality is that the government has been in charge of student loans since Obama federalized student loans.
The public senses the amount of corruption within the government is out of control; which is part of the reason for the success of the outsiders; Trump and Bernie. But just how deep is it?
At Secret Weapon, "we appreciate that the DNC is highlighting the dangers of cyber-economic manipulation to control our elections. We just think they should look a little more closely at how they gained the White House in 2008. And we should all wonder if there might be a puppet master at work right now."
Who might that be?
George Soros, the man who "broke the bank of England, who is a very accomplished investor who spends his fortunes to finance chaos in an effort to culminate in open borders and a one world governance. After all, it was reported George Soros has backed Hillary Clinton and other Democrats to the tune of $25 million.
The evidence to indict Hillary Clinton is overwhelming.
We are in the middle of a process of electing our next president, and for Hillary Clinton to be leading the nomination for the Democrat party speaks volumes about the character of those within that party.
But, what does it say about our country when, for political expediency, those placed to uphold the laws of this nation fail to do the right thing?
Its says that our county appears lost, and it gives reason why so many Americans have turned to the perceived insurgent candidacies of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, however flawed they without question they are.
If Hillary Clinton remain without indictment, you will see support for Donald Trump (assuming Sanders fails to surpass Clinton in delegates) strengthen dramatically.
Perhaps we have been spending too much time with Otis Campbell, but we foresee the following.
Clinton is either indicted or steps aside to avoid disgrace for the Democratic Party. Joe Biden is tapped to run though Obama's influence. The GOP remains in disarray, with party leaders putting forth a third party independent run as many will not embrace Trump. Votes are split far and wide, and Biden sneaks it out, ready to do the bidding of President Obama in continuing the evil transformation of the United States of America.
With the GOP establishment in the throes of death fighting to stay alive, many are worried that out of the ashes of the turmoil comes the election of Hillary Clinton.
America is full throttle anti-establishment, as evidenced by the successes of Trump and Sanders. Although Hillary will beat Sanders, in a year of insurgency, in the general, she remains a terribly flawed candidate.
Clinton, a classic insider of the elite ruling class, has little record of accomplishment and sky high unfavorables. In addition, much of the electorate considers her untrustworthy, if not an outright liar. She claims to be the answer of all the nation' problems, but has been standing in lockstep as a member of the team that has not only failed to fix the multitude of issues we face, but has made them worse. Freedom, in the name of government fixes she has championed, has retracted.
While an indictment may be in her future, if not, her embodiment of the ruling class establishment will be exposed and prohibit her from further destroying the republic.Those who cause the problem are rarely the right choice to fix the problem.
What these Sanders supporters know about economics you could put in a thimble.
Sanders campaign slogan is "A Future To Believe In".
These folks, most without any skin in the game, fail to recognize that placing their prosperity in the hands of a bankrupt, both morally and financially, and oppressive government simply reduces incentive, attacks personal dignity and robs individuals from achieving dreams.
Economic idiots sure, but there is more to it than that.
It says something about the economic and social state of America that individuals would be willing to give up their pursuit of happiness to become a serf dependent on the generosity of bureaucrats.
Some future.
It should always be noted that free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity.
Most Americans are on the road to serfdom, and they don't even know it.
The young folks who think the system is screwing them are turning in large measure to Bernie Sanders, but his brand of socialism is sure to box them in, squelching the opportunity to risk, or bet on themselves, effectively ending their dreams, if they have them, of becoming independently wealthy and free.
The ramifications of the progressive march over the past decade, with orchestrated efforts to discredit churches, private companies, agencies and organizations while creating divisions between classes through race, gender and economic status, has resulted in the Millennials embracing of big government rather than free market capitalism.
Therefore, sadly, the position taken by the Millennials would certainly be considered reasonable. It is all they know.
The economic systems are in large measure broken, full of manipulation and corruption, but the answer is not expansive government or a kingmaker.
The answer is free market capitalism, the best path to prosperity, liberty and freedom.
Alarmed at his progress, Hillary and her supporters are attacking Bernie Sanders, labeling him a socialist.
“Having somebody who is identified more as a socialist in many decades of public service than as a Democrat makes it impossible for Democrats in a state like Missouri,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill (MO).
These same folks have supported Obama's socialization of America every step of the way, assisting him in a drastic expansion of the federal government. Obama has seized control over food, autos, education, energy, healthcare and finance, and even directing FHA to attempt to dictate the makeup of neighborhoods in an apparent attempt to punish an incorrectly perceived issue of white flight.
Hillary Clinton and her cronies, certainly including Sen. McCaskill, are hypocrites and liars, themselves socialists at best.
If only Sen. Bernie Sanders would take the opportunity given him in the primary to make them feel the BERN by actually calling them out.
An excellent piece over at the tremendous website Zero Hedge provides detailed analysis as to why millennials are supporting Bernie Sanders & Donald Trump.

Sanders, a socialist, is at least someone who calls it like he sees it, even recently exposing the unemployment numbers presented by the Obama administration and their propagandist partners in media as false. Salon claims FOX News (?), Hillary surrogates and Wall Street are all terrified of Bernie and his ultra left followers.
The FFE article quotes Sanders as saying the following:
The long-term deterioration of the middle class, accelerated by the Wall Street crash of 2008, has not been pretty. Since 1999, the median middle-class family has seen its income go down by almost $5,000 after adjusting for inflation, now earning less than it did 25 years ago.
The FFE disputes Sanders conclusions, presenting a video with highly respected George Mason University Prof. Don Boudreaux discussing wage stagnation. Boudreaux seems to be refuting a conclusion of former Labor Secretary Robert Reich.
Boudreaux collects a number of hits in his presentation, focusing on a period of approximately 30 years, citing a number of correct notes. However, there are areas missing in his conclusions, as there often are when trumping out statistics. Furthermore, at no point in my lifetime have economic statistics suffered such high levels of manipulation.
With a formal education in the field of economics, I could produce voluminous statistics stating whatever case I wish to make, but I can tell you from the street that income has been stagnant since the crash of 2008. In addition, virtually all of the implemented programs, while some producing temporary gains, have resulted in long term failure. To place it in simplistic terms, the economy seems "boxed in", with constraints placed upon it by a government seeking to seize increasing control over the citizenry.
The middle class is indeed staggered by orchestration under Obama, with real median household income decreasing and the pathway to wealth exponentially more difficult. But, it is not more progressivism or Bernie Sanders and his platform of socialism the country needs, it is getting government back within its means, individual accountability, adherence to the law and free market capitalism, with a reduction in taxation and, in particular, regulation.
