Sanders Admits His Climate Change Remedy Will Bring 'Economic Dislocation,' Job Losses

Climate change is a “global crisis,” and addressing it will bring “economic dislocation,” including job losses, Sen. Bernie Sanders said at Thursday’s CNN-hosted Democrat debate in Brooklyn.

“Pope Francis reminded us that we are on a suicide course,” Sanders said. “Our legislation understands, …that there will be economic dislocation. It is absolutely true. There will be some people who lose their job. And we build into our legislation an enormous amount of money to protect those workers. It is not their fault that fossil fuels are destroying our climate. But we have got to stand up and say right now, as we would if we were attacked by some military force, we have got to move…urgently and boldly.”

Sanders has called for a nationwide ban on fracking, a phase-out of all nuclear power in the U.S., and a carbon tax. “We have got to tell the fossil fuel industry that their short-term profits are not more important than the future of this planet,” he said. …

He is, of course, entirely and completely wrong on most subjects, but you must admit that he is the most honest person running.

His honesty reminds me of that of Christopher Gribble, the home-invasion murderer from Sanders' neighboring state of New Hampshire.

Gribble was absolutely honest with investigators, and in court, as you will see if you watch his insane performance in the various YouTube videos.

From Wikipedia:

Apparently content with his life sentence, Spader informed his attorneys during an April 2013 resentencing hearing that he did not want a reduction in sentence, describing himself as "the most sick and twisted person you'll ever meet." He did not appear at the hearing.

Sanders appears to be an entirely muddled man, like so many successful Democrat politicians. There appears to be a fairly large percentage of the American population who is willing to jump on the crazy train with these politicians.

We saw it in Minnesota with Ventura and Franken. We see it in California, and in New York, with Cuomo and DeBlasio.

Just remember folks, this is what the GOPe prefers, if the nominee is Trump.

Sorry, that quote was from Steven Spader, who was Gribble's accomplice and leader during their crime spree.

Here are some examples of Gribble's honesty:

Christopher Gribble stabbed 11 year old Jaimie in the face and chest.

"I tried to puncture her heart." He said he "threw her against a door and assumed she had died."

"My only regret was I didn't kill the child because she now had to live with this. If I had realized she was alive I would have killed her."

When describing Stephen Spader and himself he said "we're sociopaths" admitting they talked about killing people "for fun."

"He and Steven Spader agreed they would break into the house and that if anyone was home "they would just kill the people in the home for fun."

"I was disappointed that I didn't feel any emotion after I slit her throat (of 11-year-old Jaimie Cates) even though I'd told friends "it was awesome."

Trashing the economy is a feature of his plan, not a bug. Socialists want power and they want you dependent on them. A strong economy helps you be less dependent and that is why they constantly fight to weaken the economy.


That’s why even when they sign 15 dollar an hour minimum wage increases, they admit it will lead to job losses

It’s ok.

Bernie will develop a proposal for welfare reform in which the minimum “wage” for welfare is $15/hr.

Sanders Admits His Climate Change Remedy Will Bring ‘Economic Dislocation,’ Job Losses

Typical liberal response would be: “So what! I got my job and YOU are paying for my car and airline tickets and hotel rooms etc and for my pension!”

When Obama spouts this crap it comes with the promise to create millions of “green jobs”, whatever THAT is.

>Well, I guess since Bernie legislated it, this money will just appear!

No, just like the higher energy prices from his ‘grand ideas’, the ‘magic $’ will come from the same group of suckers (IE: those whom will allow themselves to freeze to death instead of the nice fire as they set D.C. to the torch).
