The Bernie-ator
Quote: The American people must make a fundamental decision. Do we continue the 40-year decline of our middle class and the growing gap between the very rich and everyone else, or do we fight for a progressive economic agenda that creates jobs, raises wages, protects the environment and provides health care for all? We're off to see the Bernie..... If ever a wonderful Bernie was. The Bernie of Oz is one because... cuz, cuz, cuz, because

Hate to burst your Bernie-Bubble on ya but...
 If Bernie doesnt give a rat's *** about middle class american's making money being run out of business by the US Govt. Then what person in thier right mind thinks Bernie is as he preaches?
Dude, I get it! Everything you support Bernie for will never come to pass. i apologize....
Just trying to ask fraudulent ppl who climb to power on the backs of middle class votes to take a stand.
I can say Im Superman but sooner or later someone will demand to see such emaculate powers - f.r.a.u.d

Even if Bernie's plan made perfect economic sense the same people would be against it ideologically. Not really.
If Sander's plan made perfect economic sense, I believe we would all support it.
Mainly out of shock, because a politician finally made a plan that's not only worth getting into, but also shows the intelligence of the individual themselves.
This^ 100%. I like Bernie, until he gets to the part where he "fixes" things.

There is a real good article on Forbes regarding Sanders economic plan and the pundits take on it.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/johntharvey/2016/02/22/evaluating-the-evaluators/#309bd4ef7b32
Since most people like to skip to the conclusion:
Quote: If you haven’t figured it out by now, the pattern that one sees in terms of which economists favor Sanders’ policies line up along Establishment vs. Business-Cycle lines. The former, since they don’t really see a serious problem in the first place, view his agenda as fixing what ain’t broke. Meanwhile, the latter see his plans as a major step toward revitalizing capitalism, especially for the middle class and the small entrepreneur. The reason Establishment Economists say his numbers don’t add up is because they are using different math from the Business-Cycle Economists

It talks about people's take on Sander's plan. It's talking about how misleading news sources can be in regards on relating an economic plan by a candidate, using Sander's as an example. The author doesn't even express an opinion on Sander's plan (much).
How is this a "real good article on Sander's plan" when it doesn't even analyze Sander's plan, but the pundit's opinions on Sander's plan?

Can anyone name another 2 billion dollar middle class industry that Bernie could prove his stance with by speaking out on behalf of those middle class ppl?
....cuz I sure as hell cannot.
Bernie has 6mths to prove he's whom he claims he himself is.

If a NYer is going to play the "Southern card" do us the courtesy of adding the apostrophe. We'll sick the Cruz Missive on you to box your ears about "New York values".
This is a joke. Side effects of joking may include: drowsiness, dizziness, mild nausea, dry mouth, calling upon the four corners and decapitating a chicken over a pentagram, decreased sex drive, impotence.

At least he didn't refer to laundry as "the wahrsh". If he would have called a grocery cart a "buggy" I would have lost my mind.
i think everyone who posts in p&r more than 5 times a day should have to hook up with each other. the sexual tension is tearing that group apart.
If Hev's rules apply, that's it. I'm done. I do not like the P:V ratio in here. That's just bad news (though, the joke was hard to pass up).

Jesus.
I mean, I hate Yinzers because I'm around them every day.
Are Yinzers really a national phenomena that you'ins* know all about 'em?
(*this is original "yinzer." Today's kids who say "yinz" are sort of like Hipsters, which is what makes them so awful. Original western Pennsylvania yokels say "you'ins" not "yinz".)

I wouldn't think he'd seriously do it but there really is an "endless breadsticks" on Exodus. So yeah it's probably going to be a thing.

Boo! I wonder if the Exodus one yoinked it from Rooks. It's kind of a shame that Paco Danger and Hotboxin MrsMcGiblets from Exodus didn't bother. Did all the TToF goofballs end up at the same server as the Ni'ers? Go figure.
Have to say (and not in any bizarre, brown nosing way), I am enthusiastically anticipating what Terlet Sangria has in store for us. Nice when an admin drops the stoicism, even if it's necessary most of the time.

Boo! I wonder if the Exodus one yoinked it from Rooks. is still me. I just only use it in the TToF thread. Keeping separate identities makes it easier to tell when I'm being silly vs when I'm in "admin mode", so I can only put on the stoicism when I actually need to use it.

I cant post the link because its behind a pay site but I just read a hilarious story about Mexico and Trumps wall. The government of Guatemala has asked Mexico to take down the wall they build along the mexican southern border because mexico "hates walls."
For those not familiar with this, Mexico built a wall along the Southern Guatemalan border. Apparently its ok for Mexico to have walls but not the US.
