Feel The Bern

Just crazy enough to turn this nation around.

If the establishment is "sane," then I'll take this, thanks...

 

[cltrat]

That's 'cause he /is/ sincere...

I believe that's what I said ,I just don't agree with his positions he's offering free stuff he can't possibly pay for

This guy has to be the dumbest and most economically illiterate person on the face of the planet.
 

 
A home has actual value, whereas a $100,000 degree in "women's studies" is WORTHLESS.
 

 
No one is being imprisoned for being poor or unemployed. They're imprisoned for committing crimes.
 
 
No wonder the resident straw man warriors here on AF like this clown so much. They think the same.

22 Signs That The Global Economic Turmoil We Have Seen So Far In 2016 Is Just The Beginning
 
1. The number of job cuts in the United States skyrocketed 218 percent during the month of January according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
2. The Baltic Dry Index just hit yet another brand new all-time record low.  As I write this article, it is sitting at 303.
3. U.S. factory orders have now dropped for 14 months in a row.
4. In the U.S., the Restaurant Performance Index just fell to the lowest level that we have seen since 2008.
5. In January, orders for class 8 trucks (the big trucks that you see shipping stuff around the country on our highways) declined a whopping 48 percent from a year ago.
6. Rail traffic is also slowing down substantially.  In Colorado, there are hundreds of train engines that are just sitting on the tracks with nothing to do.
7. Corporate profit margins peaked during the third quarter of 2014 and have been declining steadily since then.  This usually happens when we are heading into a recession.
8. A series of extremely disappointing corporate quarterly reports is sending stock after stock plummeting.  
9. Junk bonds continue to crash on Wall Street.  On Monday, JNK was down to 32.60 and HYG was down to 77.99.
10. On Thursday, a major British news source publicly named five large European banks that are considered to be in very serious danger…
11. Deutsche Bank is the biggest bank in Germany and it has more exposure to derivatives than any other bank in the world.  Unfortunately, Deutsche Bank credit default swaps are now telling us that there is deep turmoil at the bank and that a complete implosion may be imminent.
12. Last week, we learned that Deutsche Bank had lost a staggering 6.8 billion euros in 2015.  If you will recall, I warned about massive problems at Deutsche Bank all the way back in September.  The most important bank in Germany is exceedingly troubled, and it could end up being for the EU what Lehman Brothers was for the United States.
13. Credit Suisse just announced that it will be eliminating 4,000 jobs.
14. Royal Dutch Shell has announced that it is going to be eliminating 10,000 jobs.
15. Caterpillar has announced that it will be closing 5 plants and getting rid of 670 workers.
16. Yahoo has announced that it is going to be getting rid of 15 percent of its total workforce.
17. Johnson & Johnson has announced that it is slashing its workforce by 3,000 jobs.
18. Sprint just laid off 8 percent of its workforce and GoPro is letting go 7 percent of its workers.
19. All over America, retail stores are shutting down at a staggering pace.  
-Wal-Mart is closing 269 stores, including 154 inside the United States.
-K-Mart is closing down more than two dozen stores over the next several months.
-J.C. Penney will be permanently shutting down 47 more stores after closing a total of 40 stores in 2015.
-Macy’s has decided that it needs to shutter 36 stores and lay off approximately 2,500 employees.
-The Gap is in the process of closing 175 stores in North America.
-Aeropostale is in the process of closing 84 stores all across America.
-Finish Line has announced that 150 stores will be shutting down over the next few years.
-Sears has shut down about 600 stores over the past year or so, but sales at the stores that remain open continue to fall precipitously.
20. According to the New York Times, the Chinese economy is facing a mountain of bad loans that “could exceed $5 trillion“.
21. Japan has implemented a negative interest rate program in a desperate attempt to try to get banks to make more loans.
22. The global economy desperately needs the price of oil to go back up, but Morgan Stanley says that we will not see $80 oil again until 2018.
 
It is not difficult to see where the numbers are trending.
 
So lets elect another liberal president?

Seems to me that if this is happening on a global scale, and it's only just begun... you would WANT a liberal to be elected....that way they can be blamed.  If what you posted is correct, and we elect a good old "cut taxes and start wars" republican - they will be the ones who will get blamed and that will be the last GOP president this country ever sees. Go Cruz!

If you look at that list there's quite a few alarming US news. All under a liberal president. 
 
You think another liberal will know what to do?

File this under liberal's getting it wrong...
 
According to NYT editorial, somebody owes Mitt Romney an apology (again)
 
In 2012, many on the Left, including President Obama, had a good time mocking Mitt Romney for saying Russia remained the United States’ number one geopolitical threat.
 
Where does that issue stand today?

The Pentagon’s Top Threat? Russia
 
The Pentagon has put Russia at the top of its list of national security threats with its plan to increase the deployment of heavy weapons, armored vehicles and troops on rotating assignment to NATO countries in Central and Eastern Europe.
In a speech on Tuesday, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter listed a hierarchy of threats to the United States, which included China, North Korea, Iran and finally, the fight against terrorism. But his primary focus was Russia.

Its is. I'm merely pointing out how electing another liberal/progressive/socialist, is the mother of all bad ideas as the recent one have proven to be disastrous.

Maybe....but when a conservative is elected, will you be willing to accept "this will take time" as an excuse as to why it isn't changing?   Oh...the campaigns will TELL you that they will change it.  5 years ago in Kansas, Art Laugher stood next to Sam Brownstain in the governors race and told Kansans that the tax cut plan would be like a "shot of adrenaline" to Kansas.  It hasn't happened and we've had to borrow to make ends meet.  The reason...from Laugher himself...."this takes time".   
 
Bottom line, a liberal may not fix it.  Neither will a conservative.  But Americans are fickle people - they will blame the party in charge at that moment for the problems they are facing.  Go Cruz.

FOrgive him.  He's having a helluva time naming 3 things the republicans have done that have helped the middle class, so he needs a diversion or two (or twenty).

There's 22 links as i count them.

Yes, I see that. Did you compile the list yourself, or copy it from another author? If it's the latter, please provide a source link.
