On Cenk Uygur's MSNBC show this evening, Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator from Vermont who caucuses with the Dems, claimed that rich Americans "have not contributed one nickel to deficit reduction."
Cenk of course failed to challenge Sander's certifiably silly assertion.

Here’s a novel idea to compliment Mr Sanders argument. How about if all congressional reps and senators contribute all of their pay to lessen the deficit? Say for the next five years or so!

One way of looking at it - those ‘rich’ who bought and paid for Sanders’ (et. al.) election have added immensely to the deficit....

Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator from Vermont who caucuses with the Dems, claimed that rich Americans "have not contributed one nickel to deficit reduction."Bernie Sanders is actually, 100% correct.
Rich Americans have NOT contributed one nickel to deficit reduction.
That is because Bernie Sanders spends those nickels on Socialist programs before they CAN be applied to deficit reduction.
Q.E.D.

GE didn’t. Yet they got MILLIONS of dollars to support Obamacare. AND SANDERS VOTED FOR IT.

Yes he’s right, they didn’t contribute, they were
forced at the point of a gun to PAY UP.

In a sense the socialist jack-hole is correct in that the deficit has not be reduced by a single penny so NO ONE has contributed to it’s reduction.

The main question regarding Sanders, IMO, is whether he is certifiably insane or whether he is coddling a constituency that he believes is certifiably insane, or perhaps both.

And what have you done, Bernie, besides voting for more spending?? Plug his pie-hole with a ton of cement.

Cenk and his butt buddy, Bernie, talk like people who use too many recreational drugs.
