    They won't be disarming us deplorables. Count on it. The US ain't going down to fascist libturds that easily...
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Just to pay for the free health care alone the gubmint would have to confiscate about 90% of all private wealth, according to his "plan". Oh well, so much for free college. Darn.

    SCOTLAND has free healthcare and college for everyone (except English incomers, of course), and we haven't seen the end of Scotland as we know it.

    since the demmycrats think a small increase is a cut, he is counting the increases the military would have gotten if he weren't elected and adding it to the savings he can use to pay for his other plans......

    Bernie's plan is a good start. we have spent more on the military than the next 10 nations combined and have done it for decades. Eisenhower warned us about the danger of the military/. Industrial complex and he was right. We have picked guns over butter over and over. One lesson is , if you build it you will use it. We have been all over the globe attacking countries and overthrowing leaders. We have over 800 military bases . We piss away so much money that it is obscene. The first cut should be 50 percent.
    Ever wonder why we fight countries with no navy, no airforce and no way close to our technology and we come home empty again and again. they are fighting for a cause. they are protecting their homes. The price of military should include the VA hospitals, the Vet homelessness, and Vet suicides. We have to stop. It is destroying us .

    You can fit the homogeneous population of Scotland inside the city of LA.

    Scotland's deficit seven times higher than UK as a whole last year

    Scotland almost £15 billion in debt and its deficit is almost twice as large as the UK as a whole, say new figures
