Bernie (or Bernie's ideas) 2020!

17. And his ideas will make it worse because he has misdiagnosed the problem:

His ideas will also hurt small businesses.
His ideas will see business flight
His ideas will result in us having to pay more for food. Higher tariffs and the ensuing effects will affect our access to markets.

I could go on and on. And I do not say these things because I think Bernie is a bad person - he is not a bad person, his ideas are awful and misguided. He wants us to be more like Sweden and he doesn't even understand how Sweden became Sweden.

If you want to help people you do your best to understand the circumstances they find themselves in and correctly diagnose it - if you don't correctly diagnose the problem, you create havoc because on top of not providing the right solution you create NEW problems.

Bernie and Trump and to a lesser extent Clinton, are all baby boomers who cling to the idea of Nostalgia, all the "we can bring back those old time days where everything was simpler" talk is NOT HELPFUL. Those days are not coming back. America is not in the position she was after world war 2. We need leadership that understands the pace of our new economy, understands how to prepare us for the technological revolution we're ill prepared for and how to keep us globally competitive, and how best to invest in our people to prepare them for these changes.

We need Politicians who TELL THE TRUTH not offer FALSE HOPE.
