Here we go again.  The resident socialist is at it again.  Bernie Sanders is pushing his agenda for a single payer health care system.  This is a simple name for a very complex system of furnishing health care. 

Bernie Sanders is a 76 year old has been politician that has nothing to lose which is what makes him so dangerous.   He serves in congress as an independent Senator from Vermont, which he is not.  He is an avowed Socialist professing the teachings of Karl Marx.  He, just like John McCain, Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer in the senate paired with Nancy Pelosi of the House of Representatives have out lasted their usefulness in serving the good of our country.   

Mr. Sanders gained notoriety on the national stage during the 2016 presidential campaign.  The number of followers chanting Bernie grew continually fed by the lure of rewards from other peoples endeavors.  Most of his following was younger people that never had to earn or achieve anything on their own merits.  The mass cries of anarchy and pandemonium were his catalyst.  Ruefully I must admit my generation helped spawn these actions by offering an easy lifestyle loaded with all the things anyone desired and didn’t have to work for. 

Mr. Sanders latest foray into the public arena is his proposal for a single payer health care system.  His proposal would create an expense nearing a trillion dollars while producing an offsetting revenue stream of approximately one third the expense it creates.  Our nation is presently in debt to the tune of $20,000,000,000,000.00, and congress is in the process of raising the debt ceiling so the reckless spending can continue.  With Mr. Sanders proposed free medical to everyone our debt will surpass our gross domestic output and can never be paid with real money. 

To try to fool the public, congress will approve the printing of more money, thus causing hyper inflation.  Sadly our money is based on no solid asset, we abandoned the gold standard long ago.  Our currency is based on the faith and confidence we have in our country and its survival.  This faith and confidence is fast eroding due to the attitudes and actions of our incapable congress. 

We can dream of a utopian world in which everyone gets everything one might dream for.  This is not reality.  The only dreaming we can tolerate is the dream of restoring America to the prominence it once had.  DACA is not dream, it is a sham reality against America.  The medical plan Mr. Sanders is proposing would be available to all, even illegal immigrants.  The good, hard working people of this nation cannot carry this burden. 

Let’s stop dreaming.  The illegal border crossers are criminals and should be treated as such.  Send them home and watch as the debt clock slows its spinning and whirling.  These individuals, once they enter this country illegally, are criminals.  The liberals that are enabling this action are accomplices in the crime of rape on America.  Let’s consider enacting legislation that would hold these accomplices responsible. 

Bernie, we are a democratic republic.  Take your socialist ideas and vacate your place in congress so a true patriot can come in and work for the betterment of America.  Socialism has not worked any place it has been installed, it never will, and America does not need or want it or you.  

Go home and have a tea party with Hillary for entertainment. 

I don’t think I’m wrong, but if I am, I’m still right.
