Self-proclaimed socialist and progressive favorite Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) laments the idea that Americans can choose between “23 underarm spray deodorants” as children go hungry under President Obama’s economy.
“You don’t necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants when children are hungry in this country,” Sanders told John Harwood in an interview posted Tuesday.
Sanders will make his official campaign Democratic presidential announcement alongside the Ben and Jerry’s cofounders in Burlington on Tuesday.

Bernie is correct!
If we eliminate under arm deodorant people will smell really badly, procreating will become unbearable, and there will be fewer, or no hungry children.
Problem solved.
This thread delivers!!!
The socialist Sanders doesn’t understand that the more different products are in competition the lower the prices will be. Of course if there was only one brand he would be screaming “Monopoly”, unless of course it was made by the government.
He’s half right, at least he’s acknowledging Obama’s recession.
Yep. Nutcase sounds about right especially since he’s making his announcement at Ben and Jerry’s which makes more than 23 flavors of ice cream.
In the mind of a whacked out leftist, all things are zero sum games.
Effort dedicated to manufacturing different types of deodorant takes away from efforts to grow food and feed helpless, starving, obese EBT children.
When America is truly socialist we will feed the homeless to the hungry!
The only way kids in America go hungry is if what passes as a parent sells the food stamps for crack.
It’s an old saw. If you watch that old Nostradamus movie, Orson Wells bemoans (or, more accurately, the writer bemoans) the number of toothpaste brands on the shelf and how modern life has given us too many choices. Pining for the good ol’ USSR.
I wonder what Commissar Sanders thinks of C. Dean Metropoulos and Andy Jhawar, who recently achieved fame for resurrecting the Twinkie:
This grim wing of the Hostess plant is a leftover from the old Hostess–the one that debt, pension costs and mismanagement shuttered in 2012. But throw on a hairnet and pass on to the newly rehabilitated factory floor, and it makes sense why billionaire C. Dean Metropoulos, Apollo Global senior partner Andy Jhawar and Kansas Governor Sam Brownback are standing here, breathing in the sticky sweet air on a foggy April morning.The new factory is bright and clean. Tight rows of Twinkies march along the $20 million Auto Bake system with the precision of Soviet soldiers in a May Day parade. Yellow robotic arms, which look like they should be welding Teslas rather than boxing Twinkies, stack snacks with hypnotic rhythm. This 500-person plant produces more than 1 million Twinkies a day, 400 million a year. That’s 80% of Hostess’ total output–output that under the old regime required 14 plants and 9,000 employees. And it’s about to get more efficient: Metropoulos and Jhawar just installed a second Auto–Bake system, this one for Cup Cakes, and the governor [who wasn't supposed to be reelected] is here to cut the ribbon.
You only NEED ONE “government approved” underarm deodorant!
The fearless leaders know best
“laments the idea that Americans can choose between “23 underarm spray deodorants” as children go hungry under President Obama’s economy. “
Obviously the answer is to ban deodorant.

23 deodorants is the result of liberty, free markets and rule of law.
Hunger is caused by tyranny, socialism and corruption.
I have no guilt living in the land of the free.
Don't you see that if we forced people to make food instead of deodorant we could give it to hungry children. Now if only there was some system out there by which we could force people to work as farm laborers.
The connection is this: If all those resources weren't being wasted on so many brands of deodorant, then they could be used to feed starving children.
So what's needed is a government that wisely and scientifically decides how much deodorant is necessary, so that too much isn't produced. That frees up the remainder of society's resources so that the government can use them to feed all the starving children.
It's like in Venezuela, where they no longer suffer from the vast waste of resources that used to go into producing too many different brands of toilet paper. Now they only produce what the government decides that the people actually need to wipe their butts.
OK, so maybe in this one case the government underestimated how much that would be, but can't you see the obvious wisdom and justice of this system, Citizen?
You need to report to Room 101 immediately.
Every single one employs a bunch of people and feeds their children.
That’s a job only slightly less distasteful than the folks who once had to sip urine to detect diabetes.
