92. Ah the voice of sanity! Yes, we need to LISTEN to his plan, before we
condemn him.

Social Security and Medicare, (especially Medicare), are eating us alive. Of course wars and military are eating MORE of us alive, and health insurance companies charging obscene rates are eating us alive, too.

Which one shall we go after, Bernie???? Oh, the one that keeps the American people alive and eating after 65!

Priorities! Priorities!
