We are the only country that has no correlation between GDP and production.

Here are a few questions to ask Sanders bots:
Why did he claim cervical cancer is caused by women not having enough orgasms?
Why did he claim that married women fantasize about being gang-raped by 3 men while having sex with her husband?
Why has he supported every U.S. bombing of Iraq from 1992 on?
If he is so consistent, why did he go from anti-imperialist in 1988 to pro-imperialist in 1990, even going as far as to state he wouldn't let that "damn (Gulf) war cost me the election?"
Why did he in the 90s support the objectively racist and mass-incarcerationist Federal Crime bill?
Why did he support every US intervention since elected to Congress–Iraq, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Liberia, Zaire (Congo), Albania, Sudan, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia?
Why did he support economic sanctions that killed more than a million Iraqi civilians?
Why is a huge fan of American Marxist Eugene Debs? Why does he still have a portrait of what the Soviets called America's Greatest Marxist in his Senatorial office?
Why did he defend Fidel Castro's policies in 1985?
Why did he have a Soviet Union flag in his mayoral office and why did he honeymoon in the USSR in the late 80s?
Why did he address the Communist Party's US Peace Council when America was at the brink of winning the Cold War? One of the US Peace Council's goals was to help "the triumph of Soviet power in the US."
Why is it that during the 1996 Clinton campaign Bernie was on the stage with the rest of the Vermont Democratic Party Leadership, while the unauthorized Democratic candidate for his Congressional seat was kept out in the audience?
Why did he refuse to support gay marriage only until 2009?
He says he voted against the DOMA in 1996, but his wife stated We’re not legislating values. We have to follow the Constitution,” Jane Sanders said. “And anything that weakens the Constitution should be (addressed) by a constitutional amendment, not by a law passed by Congress.” Why?
Why did Bernie embrace the "People's Republic of Burlington" moniker? China is called the "People's Republic of China" and North Korea is called Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Notice the term "Democratic" in NK's name.
When he first got elected Mayor of Burlington why was he the only elected U.S. official to attend the anniversary of the Sandinista Revolution in Managua?
Why does he call himself a "Social Democrat," which is what Leon Trostky and Vladimir Lenin called themselves before it evolved into the Communist party?
Why did he organize for the Communist United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities?
Why did he head the American People’s History Society, which was a Marxist organization?
Why has he used the Che Guevara term "Venceremos" (which means "We will overcome") and why does he always use the famous Communist term "revolution?"
Why did he name a baseball team the Vermont Reds?

Kind of looks like a push poll thought up by Rove.

There's definitely a touch of weird in Bernie Sanders. His rapey essay was really nothing much more than bad writing. It does however provide a glimpse into his mind that even his own campaign manager would like to see forgotten.

Michael Briggs, Sanders' newly minted campaign spokesman, said the article was a "dumb attempt at dark satire in an alternative publication" that "in no way reflects his views or record on women."

"It was intended to attack gender stereotypes of the '70s, but it looks as stupid today as it was then," Briggs told CNN.

His obsession with socialist figures however remains one of the main reasons why I decided not to vote for him. I'm convinced he's 100% socialist in his values and that he could bring danger to America as POTUS.

Some more insight on the single payer systems.

Quote:
What Is A Single Payer?
A single payer refers to a system in which one entity (usually the government) pays all the medical bills for a specific population. And usually (though, again, not always) that entity sets the prices for medical procedures.
A single-payer system is not the same thing as socialized medicine. In a truly socialized medicine system, the government not only pays the bills but also owns the health care facilities and employs the professionals who work there.
The Veterans Health Administration is an example of a socialized health system run by the government. The VA owns the hospitals and clinics and pays the doctors, nurses and other health providers.
Medicare, on the other hand, is a single-payer system in which the federal government pays the bills for those who qualify, but hospitals and other providers remain private.

Not sure this pie in the sky will fly and we know the Repub ideas don't work ... Stick with the reasonable Hillary.

Here's what the tax code would look like if Bernie Sanders got everything he wanted - Vox
