our average left-winger agrees with this stuff and thinks Sanders is a genius
Just as an exercise in curiosity, Im going to try to think like a socialist. And since I really have no earthly idea how socialists come up with the ideas they embrace, Im going to let Bernie Sanders get me rolling. Tell me, Bernie, your thoughts on economic growth:
The whole size of the economy and the GDP doesnt matter if people continue to work longer hours for low wages and you have 45 million people living in poverty. You cant just continue growth for the sake of growth in a world in which we are struggling with climate change and all kinds of environmental problems. All right? You dont necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants or of 18 different pairs of sneakers when children are hungry in this country. I dont think the media appreciates the kind of stress that ordinary Americans are working on. People scared to death about what happens tomorrow.
So let me see if I have this straight: Children are hungry, and hungry people need food, but there isnt enough food for them because, instead of producing food, 23 different companies are making spray deodorant, and 18 different companies are making sneakers. Why, they could be producing food!

In Bernie's government, there will be a Federal Department of Coffee Size, next door to the Federal Department of Coffee Flavor. Meetings will be scheduled and bureaucrats will be hired whose sole purpose (besides viewing X-rated videos on their government workstations) will be to schedule endless meetings to fill out endless forms that detail which size, and which flavor, should be the de-facto standard. Severe penalties will be assessed for any enterprise that does not meet Federal standards.
Yah,Bernie...lots and lots of hungry folks voting Rat these days.
Ben & Jerry’s is my only acknowledged liberal guilty pleasure... so please don’t take away my Chunky Monkey or Cherry Garcia. Besides they are now owned by a huge Dutch conglomerate, Unilever.
Next step for her is a private class with a female competition pistol shooter who teaches locally. Her name escapes me right now but she’s ranked in the top ten nationally. As a bonus she’s a very easy on the eyes red head. LOL.
Shhh.. It’s a surprise.
The Mrs shoots quite well now but a one on one class will really boost her confidence level I think. I’ve already signed her up for the IL CCL classes. Now she just has to fit them into her crazy summer schedule.
There’s something about a woman with a 1911 in her hands that really gets my juices flowing.
All the best,

But Mrs. O can do with all the armpit deodorants and shaving products there are on the markets.
