Our national priorities are really twisted. Sanders has made it clear that the funding for free college tuition would come from a small tax on Wall Street speculative transactions; and universal health care will involve combining the current Medicare, Obamacare and private medical insurance system into one, which will greatly reduce waste and redundant procedures, resulting in much lower costs for Americans.

There is no question but that America has more than enough wealth to afford the societal advancements that Sanders is recommending. If all those 31 other developed nations can do these things then the richest country in the world should also be able to do so. It’s all about setting priorities for the good of all Americans.

Yes, it’s a matter of priorities; it’s about our country, this society and its people. The big difference between the U.S. and the other developed nations is that none of the latter spends huge amounts of taxpayer dollars on their military establishments. Many are a part of NATO but, otherwise, their priorities are concentrated on domestic needs and issues.

Now where else could this government find the necessary funding for other Sander’s initiatives? In a recent article, I documented the massive amount of taxpayer dollars that this government spends for the military and for the granting of subsidies and tax breaks to corporations

1. We can't have any of that. No we can't! Gotta buy a lot of billion dollar bombers instead.

We have to be the stupidest electorate on the planet.
