You have admit, it does sound a bit autocratic. I don’t actually have anything against having a pledge, but people shouldn’t be required to believe/say it against their will.

Yes, and it’s mostly spearheaded by Californian, New Mexican, and Northeast Democrats. I’m not in favor a communist type socialist, but I’d be all down for a green, social democrat, or democratic socialist.

 

That want to spend 60 trillion dollars.... what can go wrong

And then in your user icon there's a guy who almost literally wipes his ass with exactly that sentence after his morning dump

At least we’ll spend it on useful projects and not giant walls, F35’s, and arming other countries.

Yeah the F35 looks rather boring. The F-22 Raptor though, oh my what a thing of beauty  

 

Too bad the only time so far I had a chance to see one, the airshow got cancelled due to rain

A bit?  From a neutral perspective, one would not know whether it's the USA or North Korea when watching children drum up the words day after day after day.

Both are money pits, but the F22 is easier to find, so I’d prefer to keep that one in service.

You dont have it to spend.  The nation makes 4 trillion from taxes.   You will bankrupt us immediately.   It's not like you have 500 trillion just sitting there.   That's what people dont understand from this whole bernie approach.   He saying the nice words that getting all the young people in.   In reality if he will get elected it will be a disaster.  And I'm not even bringing trump in the equation since even his party( minus warren) is against medicare for all

Well an ideal world would be one where these kind of machines aren't necessary to begin with. Sadly an ideal world won't ever happen, at least until humans have gone extinct.
