@Rogers Right... which would make a policy platform like Sanders' even less sustainable. I liked a LOT of what he had to say, don't get me wrong.
But his proposals would have created massive deficits, and I fear our national debt will lead to MAJOR economic problems within our lifetime. Also his opposition to nuclear power makes his rhetoric about climate change practically worthless. Unfortunately, wind, hydro, and solar cannot generate enough baseload power to run the USA's industrial base off of.
Still... he was probably the 2nd most "honest" candidate in this election (Jim Webb being the first)
