    American politics is dirtied, holed and misled and now teeming with candidates craving power and no public service and nothing to convince and gain trust from the common man in their background. American politics had a past of great founders and today also their thoughts and works work.
    Though this issue has been debated repeatedly here and yet I want to update myself with what is the general opinion on the subject. Both sides have lots of things to say and yet who will win our heart is a question.

    American politics was far dirtier back before the age of computers, recording devices and radio and television. The founders also were not as great as many think they were. In fact, you could take any issue back then and find the founders on all sides of it.

    elect for what ... Canada? I am very fond of Cruz but the bottom line is that theres a question about eligibility. Trump is correct on this.

    I also think Sanders will win since he has a majority that comprise the wage earners, the middle class to support him but Ted Cruz has more money for his election campaigns.

    No, he's not. That's just some nonsense Trump came up with because Cruz is going up in the polls.

    In many ways, you are correct. Cruz is a libertarian. That means you take your training wheels off and walk on your own two feet as a proud and free man. With Sanders, he promises the full powers of the state to make sure your pampers are paid for.

    If you can't walk on your own two feet and need somebody else to pay for the talcum powder, then Cruz really is death.

    And that's what has so many statists worried. He's gonna take away their diaper rations and training wheels. That scares the holy hell out of statists.

    bs, it's nothing to do with the free stuff psycho mantra of the never right, we've seen for decades what all that crap really means when kons get their way or just submit proposals, nothing good but plenty bad, take from everybody and giveaways to the 1%ers
    to kons walking on your own two feet as a proud and free man just means willing to walk away from someone in need and let them die, heard it so much from my con friends

    The Wall Street Journal (and others) estimates that Sanders' policy costs will be approximately 18 trillion additional dollars over a period of years. I know Sanders says that insurance expense offsets to taxes would be the difference, but I am inclined to believe otherwise.

    The reason is when medical care is in great demand, as it is with gov subsidized medical care, then prices/costs continue to rise. It's demand and supply economics. In fact, that is the ORIGINAL problem NO ONE has addressed yet.
