He is going to ask me to do him a favor. Not sure what it is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted June 21, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 21, 2016 Got to love Bernie and his socialist democracy theories and he won't answer questions on why so many South American socialist countries are failing. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/05/30/bernie_sanders_isnt_interested_in_answering_questions_about_socialism_in_venezuela.html LEÓN KRAUZE, UNIVISION: I am sure that you know about this topic: various leftist governments, especially the populists, are in serious trouble in Latin America. The socialist model in Venezuela has the country near collapse. Argentina, also Brazil, how do you explain that failure?BERNIE SANDERS, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE: You are asking me questions…LEÓN KRAUZE, UNIVISION: I am sure you’re interested in that.BERNIE SANDERS, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE: I am very interested, but right now I’m running for President of the United States.LEÓN KRAUZE, UNIVISION: So you don’t have an opinion about the crisis in Venezuela?BERNIE SANDERS, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE: Of course I have an opinion, but as I said, I’m focused on my campaign. In other words Bernie can't answer because there is no good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just another politician that want's to give out free stuff. I wish someone would ask Hillary her thoughts on Venezuela. Remember, didn't obama visit Hugo Chavez when Obama was first elected?

ArcticCrusher Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 You can add Brazil to this mix as well. An example of extreme protectionism with tariffs, union's (shit even engineers are unionized) that clearly does more harm as time passes.

Anler Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Why is it whenever our economy is on the brink of collapse they use socialist means to get us out? Especially if they dont work? And was is socialist means that put us in those situations? Seems both were initiated by capitalists... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO no country should receive OUR money if: 1. we dont have a balanced budget. and 2. Have an outstanding federal debt. How can we say we cant afford services for our tax paying citizens but yet have billions for those who dont pay any taxes and arent citizens? Bizarre...
