Related: About this forumSanders to Clinton: 'Stop being vague' about tax, Social Security plans
Bernie Sanders was combative Saturday morning during a rally stop in Washington Heights in New York City, calling on Hillary Clinton to "stop being vague" about her plan to tax income and increase Social Security benefits.
"Secretary Clinton really has avoided this issue. She has talked about it in generalities. So I would challenge her right today: Are you prepared to lift the cap on taxable income?" he said at the United Palace theater.
"And are you prepared to expand benefits for millions of seniors and disabled veterans who need it? Stop being vague on this issue. Yes or no, are you going to lift the cap?" he continued.

Saying vague things that can be interpreted many different ways, that's her specialty!

I am sure republican will be more than willing to help him on this issue and all the other things he keeps promising voters he will do once in office.

(47,803 posts)7. Do you understand what stating a goal is? That's simple.
Either one thinks that a specific policy goal is good or not.
Eitehr one thinks the cap should be raised or one thinks it's a bad idea.
Any further consideration stems from stating a goal.
That is separate from the details of how one attempts to accomplish it.
