*For average American to survive,I think will all need to find alternative means,The government has really called things more difficult for its citizens, and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance.It's obvious we are headed for hyperinflation, it is always the poor who take the hit.*
Things are getting worse this days, if you don’t find a way to multiply your income, you might wake up one day to realize you didn’t plan well for yourself and family.
The cost of living is making people go into different businesses anyways, but my problem is that the rate at which money gets finished on little purchases is so surprising.
That's true I saw all this coming so i had to switch to Crypto trading and I'm really enjoying the fact I made the right choice because of my weekly earnings.
A society that routinely places greater value on its weapons than its people will eventually have nothing else of value, no culture to defend and no one outside of the military to defend it. Even if its enemies are destroyed, it will have become its own worst enemy, having caused more destruction to itself than any enemy abroad could have ever hoped.

The Electoral College is not the problem, the Electoral College was set up as another element of the Balance of Power which helps keep one branch of government over reaching their authority and keeps large states with large populations from dominating small states or states with small populations (which have different needs than large states). Term Limits for both houses of Congress would do much more to get our politicians to listen to their constituents.
Nobody I know wants to get rid of the electoral college. As a Californian support for it has gone up as we give all the hoards of illegals coming into the state the right to vote without being a citizen, so I really don’t know what you’re talking about.
Get rid of the electoral college. Get rid of lobbyists. Let the voices of the majority be heard and acted upon. Free healthcare, free education, affordable housing for all, and freedom from hate!
Agreed. Humane immigration reform including accelerated asylum seeker processing. No starting, finishing, or perpetuating of foreign wars without the consent of the American people. Term limitations for Congress. No lifetime appointments for any judges, federal or state. Cabinet members not able to accept paid positions in job related to their cabinet post for 10 years at least. Increased government funding to NIH so grant holders will not depend on big pharma for money. Public funding of congressional elections. Reversal of Citizens United. No more subsidies to oil and gas. Require oil and gas to fully supply US market prior to foreign sales. Convert utilities to publicly held entities. Massively increase infrastructure spending with emphasis on public transportation. Fund a new "space race" in search of sustainable clean energy sources and to identify young, talented individuals. See what all we could do with that money!! (And a few hundred Bernies.)
As a veteran & a patriotic American, nobody wants a stronger military than me. But I can also tell you what Bernie is saying about the excessive spending on *no-bid* military contracts is absolutely correct. This is exactly what President Dwight D. Eisenhower (former WW2 General) warned *warned* us about b/4 he left office...back then already.
Even Abe Lincoln at the end of the war talked about the dangerous growth of the arms industry’s influence on politics. Basically warning us about the military industrial complex without using Eisenhower’s term for it.
US Defence spending is only 3.4% of GDP. Near an all time low. And extremely low by any historical standard. US Defence spending is 831.78 billion. Not a trillion like Bernie said. Bernie lied. And its Bernie's policies that people are fed up with. Like Democrats using non stop open immigration, high taxes, and over regulation to put slack into the labor market year after year. Which gives all the power to employers, driving down wages, and immigration drives up housing prices at the same time. To the point tens of millions of Americans don't have any money left over at the end of the month. And it's the low wages and lack of power at the bottom that allows the excesses at the top. Causing the wealth gap. Compare that to JFK style conservative policies of using low taxes, smaller government, deregulation, and less immigration to tighten up the labor market. Which gives power back to workers. Raises wages. Allows for advancement. Allows for mobility. Allows people with bad job records or few skills to get jobs. And gives people dignity.

Yeah like there's nothing wrong with wanting a stronger military, especially with adversaries like Russia and China out there. But the vast majority of the military's budget (and the lives of its soldiers) have instead gone to rampaging through the Middle East, slaughtering civilians to take their oil, or invading communist/socialist countries to stop those movements regardless of the will of that country's people, in the name of capitali- (cough) uh sorry, 'freedom'. And then the fighting keeps going because wouldn't you know, when you slaughter people's families for no reason for no reason, it's much easier for someone to radicalise them into a terrorist so long as the 'protectors of the free world' are a common enemy. Aid for Ukraine and reinforcing the naval presence near China and Taiwan are the only sensible things I've seen the US military do in the entire time I've been alive. How much of a total percentage of the US budget from the last 20 years did that take? 2%? 3%? Not even? Not even close probably.
@@practicaliching2311Reagan was a known racist and hurt this country through his ruthless war on drugs. Bernie didn't lie, just look at the cost of the F-35 program. Lockheed Martin’s $1.7 trillion F-35 fighter jet is 10 years late and 80% over budget.
Many "official" government military budgets "unofficially" have cost overruns (especially newer systems or where there's no competition/no-bid contracts). Hence, Bernie's stated trillion dollar military budget might very well be understated by how many billions we can only help but wonder. President Lincoln's and President Eisenhower's *warnings* about the military industrial complex getting hold of the nation's purse strings *still* applies.

Growing up over the past few years into my mid 20s I have really come to respect the things bernie says. As a conservative teen I hated him for the dumb reason of calling him a socialist, but growing up these past years and seeing people and my own families suffer due to high cost of health care while we spend so much on other countries and our military. I do really wonder what our priorities are as a nation because at times again and again I truly believe it's not for the people.
For the past 3 years my husband and I have lived paycheck to paycheck. I work one full time job with as much overtime as i can handle and my husband works 2 full time jobs. Every time we get paid 26% of our checks go to taxes and we still owe thousands each year everytime we file our taxes. There are no programs to help us when we are struggling, our rent has gone up 16% every year since the pandemic. We can't save for a down-payment on a home, and we want children, but there is no way we can afford it. What are we paying for? When will our government focus on the Americans that are struggling?

How much of military spending goes to housing, Healthcare, and education of service members, veterans, and their families. These benefits are offered because we do not have mandatory service. Countries that have these programs for citizens have mandatory service.
I am from iran and yes i am completely agree with him about it i previously thought our regime in iran ignores us completely but now i know all goverments do the same unfortunately.
Senator Sanders you are one of the few senators who have listened to and have their pulse on the American people's needs and desires. Conversely I have little respect for those who promote, send and spend enormous amount of tax payers money (billions of dollars) to fund war machines and do not adequately take care of the vulnerable and all citizens in the USA. Where is the economic justice for senior Americans, where is the economic justice for handicapped Americans and our veterans, where is the economic justice for Americans who have no or insufficient healthcare, where is the economic justice for those who are working yet not able to buy foods for proper nutrition for themselves or theirs? I could go on and on. Further, Americans neither want or need a dictator or any authoritarian leader (i.e.Donald Trump) who will attempt to impose a political system on Americans after the North Korea or Russia models of government. Americans must now develop a stronger mental and fighting spirit, resolve and the sticktoitiveness to convey and demand that those in the house and senate listen to us. In order to combat contagious apathy. "We the People" must categorically affirm that we will not relinquish our principles of American Democracy in any form to foreign or political ideologies that are not congruent with the America Constitution and Democratic values.
the safety of millions of human on the planet depend on the awareness of Americans. When they elect the same president or same category of president, they allow the continuity of the suffering of other people
I agree with you...and I'm so sorry. Many in this country lack the ability to think critically and are deficient in empathy, both of which are the problem. Some of us see exactly what's going on, but we are the minority. I have little hope and a lot of guilt. I do try: I educate myself, I think, then I vote. But I am only one person.
And most of that military spending doesn’t go to our troops & their families. As Bernie says, it mainly goes to contractors. He didn’t mention here that contractors often grossly overcharge or under-deliver & that many now do jobs once performed for much lower pay, (& sometimes to higher standards), by US troops.
Also politicians can purchase stocks of those contractor orgs so its a win-win for them. Like big defense contractors make so much. Booz Allen, Lockheed, like almost anything in the DMV area.
He is unelectable. Trump: "So you're a socialist?" Bernie: "A Democratic Socialist, yes." Trump gets elected. Too many people in the US are (wrongfully) afraid of the word "socialist". Personally I agree with him on a lot of policy.

Born Nov., 1945 in Oregon, and moved to California in 1948. Guess what? We had very decent new and government financed, housing, for all 7 of us, which gave us financially stressed people a good start in life. Mexicans, European white people, African Americans, Oklahomans--All of us together receiving Government sponsored good schools, housing, coaches for sports in the new facilities, free local health care and the support of reasonably paid jobs. All of this due to the ability to care for the population which was educated and supported. You could say that I have benefited, including almost free University, to become a medical doctor and have thrived in my ability to navigate a fair and prosperous country. That was turned on its head by 1980 when the disgusting pursuit of wealth started the rot that the U S has created. Dog eat dog country now. You want strength as an American? Then support each other as we were before.

But I can also tell you what Bernie is saying about the excessive spending on *no-bid* military contracts is absolutely correct. This is exactly what President Dwight D. Eisenhower (former WW2 General) warned *warned* us about b/4 he left office...back then already.
Even Abe Lincoln at the end of the war talked about the dangerous growth of the arms industry’s influence on politics. Basically warning us about the military industrial complex without using Eisenhower’s term for it.
US Defence spending is only 3.4% of GDP. Near an all time low. And extremely low by any historical standard. US Defence spending is 831.78 billion. Not a trillion like Bernie said. Bernie lied. And its Bernie's policies that people are fed up with. Like Democrats using non stop open immigration, high taxes, and over regulation to put slack into the labor market year after year. Which gives all the power to employers, driving down wages, and immigration drives up housing prices at the same time. To the point tens of millions of Americans don't have any money left over at the end of the month. And it's the low wages and lack of power at the bottom that allows the excesses at the top. Causing the wealth gap.
Compare that to JFK style conservative policies of using low taxes, smaller government, deregulation, and less immigration to tighten up the labor market. Which gives power back to workers. Raises wages. Allows for advancement. Allows for mobility. Allows people with bad job records or few skills to get jobs. And gives people dignity.
If Democrats actually cared about lower income people, and were capable of compassion and empathy, they would be Kennedy/Reagan conservatives.

Yeah like there's nothing wrong with wanting a stronger military, especially with adversaries like Russia and China out there. But the vast majority of the military's budget (and the lives of its soldiers) have instead gone to rampaging through the Middle East, slaughtering civilians to take their oil, or invading communist/socialist countries to stop those movements regardless of the will of that country's people, in the name of capitali- (cough) uh sorry, 'freedom'. And then the fighting keeps going because wouldn't you know, when you slaughter people's families for no reason for no reason, it's much easier for someone to radicalise them into a terrorist so long as the 'protectors of the free world' are a common enemy.
Aid for Ukraine and reinforcing the naval presence near China and Taiwan are the only sensible things I've seen the US military do in the entire time I've been alive. How much of a total percentage of the US budget from the last 20 years did that take? 2%? 3%? Not even? Not even close probably.
@@practicaliching2311Reagan was a known racist and hurt this country through his ruthless war on drugs. Bernie didn't lie, just look at the cost of the F-35 program. Lockheed Martin’s $1.7 trillion F-35 fighter jet is 10 years late and 80% over budget.
Many "official" government military budgets "unofficially" have cost overruns (especially newer systems or where there's no competition/no-bid contracts). Hence, Bernie's stated trillion dollar military budget might very well be understated by how many billions we can only help but wonder. President Lincoln's and President Eisenhower's *warnings* about the military industrial complex getting hold of the nation's purse strings *still* applies.

Frustrating
Growing up over the past few years into my mid 20s I have really come to respect the things bernie says. As a conservative teen I hated him for the dumb reason of calling him a socialist, but growing up these past years and seeing people and my own families suffer due to high cost of health care while we spend so much on other countries and our military. I do really wonder what our priorities are as a nation because at times again and again I truly believe it's not for the people.
For the past 3 years my husband and I have lived paycheck to paycheck. I work one full time job with as much overtime as i can handle and my husband works 2 full time jobs. Every time we get paid 26% of our checks go to taxes and we still owe thousands each year everytime we file our taxes. There are no programs to help us when we are struggling, our rent has gone up 16% every year since the pandemic. We can't save for a down-payment on a home, and we want children, but there is no way we can afford it. What are we paying for? When will our government focus on the Americans that are struggling?

America, Land where you pay for Water & Air
If All Americans are well informed, they will work for independence from foreign entities (represented by the lobby).
How much of military spending goes to housing, Healthcare, and education of service members, veterans, and their families. These benefits are offered because we do not have mandatory service. Countries that have these programs for citizens have mandatory service.
I am from iran and yes i am completely agree with him about it i previously thought our regime in iran ignores us completely but now i know all goverments do the same unfortunately.
And we came so close to making this man President. But the oligarchs prevented it.
Those that work for the oligarchy and in charge of their wealth made it happen or not happen.
Half the annual budget goes to the military. Bombs, planes, the industrial military complex. He's spot on.
Senator Sanders you are one of the few senators who have listened to and have their pulse on the American people's needs and desires. Conversely I have little respect for those who promote, send and spend enormous amount of tax payers money (billions of dollars) to fund war machines and do not adequately take care of the vulnerable and all citizens in the USA.
Where is the economic justice for senior Americans, where is the economic justice for handicapped Americans and our veterans, where is the economic justice for Americans who have no or insufficient healthcare, where is the
economic justice for those who are working yet not able to buy foods for proper nutrition for themselves or theirs? I could go on and on.
Further, Americans neither want or need a dictator or any authoritarian leader (i.e.Donald Trump) who will attempt to impose a political system on Americans after
the North Korea or Russia models of government.
Americans must now develop a stronger mental and fighting spirit, resolve and the sticktoitiveness to convey and demand that those in the house and senate listen to us. In order to combat contagious apathy. "We the People" must categorically affirm that we will not relinquish our principles of American Democracy in any form to foreign or political ideologies that are not congruent with the America Constitution and Democratic values.

but not for universal health care....
And most of that military spending doesn’t go to our troops & their families. As Bernie says, it mainly goes to contractors. He didn’t mention here that contractors often grossly overcharge or under-deliver & that many now do jobs once performed for much lower pay, (& sometimes to higher standards), by US troops.
Also politicians can purchase stocks of those contractor orgs so its a win-win for them. Like big defense contractors make so much. Booz Allen, Lockheed, like almost anything in the DMV area.
This man's acuity is spot on.
Funny how the DNC thought him unelectable.
We'd be at the end of his second term.
He IS a medical doctor
He is unelectable. Trump: "So you're a socialist?" Bernie: "A Democratic Socialist, yes."
Trump gets elected. Too many people in the US are (wrongfully) afraid of the word "socialist".
Personally I agree with him on a lot of policy.
The DNC is owned by corporations. Biden just said he's allowing more oil drilling in Alaska because he didn't want to make the oil companies mad
And so much better off at this point
Because he was a threat to their power.
Thank you Bernie🙏 keep keeping on!

Hi Bernie, et al. What practical steps can be taken to have AIPAC be registered as a foreign agent?
Think you’d have to prove they’re taking money from Israel. Not saying they aren’t, not saying they are, but as far as I know nobody has seen proof of it.
Was it mitch mcconnell that said, we aren't sending money to Ukraine, we're giving it to defense contractors? At least he was honest I guess....
Not all foreign aid is weapons. Not even close.
Born Nov., 1945 in Oregon, and moved to California in 1948. Guess what? We had very decent new and government financed, housing, for all 7 of us, which gave us financially stressed people a good start in life. Mexicans, European white people, African Americans, Oklahomans--All of us together receiving Government sponsored good schools, housing, coaches for sports in the new facilities, free local health care and the support of reasonably paid jobs. All of this due to the ability to care for the population which was educated and supported. You could say that I have benefited, including almost free University, to become a medical doctor and have thrived in my ability to navigate a fair and prosperous country. That was turned on its head by 1980 when the disgusting pursuit of wealth started the rot that the U S has created. Dog eat dog country now. You want strength as an American? Then support each other as we were before.
So very true all the news wants to do is distract distract distract in ternus against each other instead of working with each other cause I feel all of us want the same things Maybe not the large corporations in the rich but the average Joe once just a decent life

You have a huge continent, with everything you need in it, in terms of raw materials, businesses, labor, etc. Stay home, keep your weapons and leave us alone!
TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸 ❤️
Workers of the world unite
As George Orwell pointed out in 'The Road to Wigan Pier', politicians constantly told the people that the government simply couldn't afford to eliminate poverty. Yet when the ruling classes' own finance and security was menaced by the First World War they were suddenly able to spend as much money on armaments per day as would have swept away every slum in Wigan.
Finally someone said it. Thanks Senator Bernie. You are a gem.
Thanks Beloved Senator Sanders! ❤❤❤
The sad thing is congress pays more in interest payments than they do on defence. Fiscal policy is so screwed up in America recently
Thank you, Bernie.
Democracy is the government of the people, by the people and for the people!!!
Yep and America is FAAAAR from that
Thank you Bernie....thank you!
He is the perfect example of a leader of the Western civilized world democracy
But no reparations for decendants of Slavery?😮
I called my legislators again yesterday. It seems hopeless. Thank you, Bernie
I did too and they are all reading from the same script as Kirby!
Thank you for your efforts. We can never know what impact we might be having 🤞
*YOU* are what we need as a leader!
President Sanders, we *NEED* you!
Thou shall not kill!!! My disciples I give you a new command! “ love ye one another “!! No republican is safe! A sinner is closer to God than these charlatans!! Thank goodness for Bernie Sanders!! A sane and caring person!! Vote 🗳️
But that's doesn't apply is you have America values
@@jamesstpatrick8493 no! Biblical 😘
Amen- apparently we can’t get along ,all we know is war
for the love of GOD i need you to SEE the different parties have the same leader !! divide and conquer, thats what they did to us , race religion politics, if we were to stand together against the establishment as one group , AMERICANS we could win
the same senators and congressmen have been in office 20 years… its not about the political leaning its about the corruption
And congress doesn't even question or put an inquiry on why have of military funding is unaccounted for but makes welfare, the post office, and social security count every single penny.
Mittens, mittens, where are yours mittens?
No wonder you get that political apathy... thx Bernie for reminding us again and again about the real issues in our society!
