Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Would you like median income to grow $22,000 and 3.8% unemployment?

    There you have it. Everybody wins. That is until you actually bother to look at the bottom line of free healthcare, medicare and free school. If I didn't have to pay my bills every month, I'd be living pretty high on the Hog too.

    Friedman, however, argues that Sanders' plan would be more stimulative because it is pouring money into the economy, as opposed to cutting taxes. Several of Sanders' proposals -- such as spending $1 trillion on infrastructure -- will happen in the first few years of his administration.


    The thinking goes: This enhanced government spending would increase demand on businesses, who would then hire more workers to meet their needs. The increase in employment will prompt people to buy more, leading other businesses to hire.


    "If there is more spending, people will have more to do," Friedman said, noting that the share of the population with jobs could be restored to its 1999 level of more than 64%, up from its current 59.6% rate.


    Obama's shovel ready jobs and I got a good chuckle out of this

    You are aware that our best economy is during war when government spending is out of control right? From a fundamental perspective, government spending reduces unemployment and increases corporate profits in the short term. Long-term effects of massive deficits or tax increases are another matter.

    That being said, even if Bernie does get elected, none of the shit he's proposing will actually pass.

    We already tried what Bernie is advocating which is the point that flew over your head.

    And by the most conservative estimates, 600,000 jobs were gained by the stimulus package. Your head has to be firmly lodged into your ass to try to deny that that bill achieved what it set out to do.

    Obama himself joked that the jobs weren't a shovel ready as he thought. Real funny

    But if you would like to link to your stats in the face of a failing economy still under Obama we can take a look.

    The economy still sucks and the money was used to prop up state government unions

    Another pussy defeatist dem.

    First Bernie couldn't beat Hilary, now it's a race. Then he couldn't win the general, except he polls better than the top 3 republicans. Now I'm supposed to listen when you say he'll never pass anything. No.

    It is not Bernies fault you were burned by Obama. Stop projecting the community organizers failures on to him.

    It's great to tout about how much median income is ... everything thinks that that is great until you remind them that costs will probably go up in a similar amount.

    I really laugh anytime I decide to go to McDonald's to get breakfast and realize I just spent $10. Where in this world is a McDonald's breakfast worth anything close to $10?
