    I think Joe is a bright guy who is well informed and has an excellent grasp of foreign affairs and is pretty objective about bipartisan issues. I watched him in many debates before he was in the executive branch of govt. He's a guy who will work with any politician in DC for solutions and not toe the party line in order to achieve stalemate after stalemate. Is he the perfect candidate..probably not but given the field...I think he'd shake up the inbalance in choices for the presidential race.

    There are far more dangerous candidates to elect in my view

    Indeed. Biden's gaffes pale in comparison to most of the shit those Republican candidates spew.

    I've said many times here that I don't have a candidate I can support at this point...I need some more choices that can actually counter the really dangerous choices we are faced with

    The idea that any candidate over the next 10-15 years is going to fix the economy is false...it's a long term problem and it's a long term fix.

    Great!!! Shall we discuss how our federal government for the last 16 years has been completely responsible for how terrible our country has been run? I would love to clean house and have all of them kicked out

    Ahhhh the great "it's too late, we must deal with it slowly". While we piss away trillions in process.

    Only way you fix things is the moment you start spending less than you take in. That's logic

    What you call piss away, others call invest in...that's a different logic. We piss away fortunes on entertainment and consumables without blinking...you want that new Porshe right? Will that help save the economy or prop up the German GNP

    It does and happens all the time. Debt consolidation is common place in America. Cut spending on policies that don't work. Rework trade agreements with other countries

    I don't spend more money than I make. I don't max my credit cards. I still have enough things to do that make a difference to me and my family. It's called budgeting. Anyone that doesn't is doomed to fail

    None of those. The false choice it's you basically saying Bernie it's going to add 18 Trillion to our current spending which will in turn max us out. The lie is that We are broke when that's simply not true. Politicians always push this bullshit notion that we need to tighten our belts like a family because that is bad. Well I don't know too middle class people who don't have debt. Most people have a home loan or student loans. That's typically called good debt.

    Bro... That is one of the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS to discuss. And Bernie, even in this interview once again said he would save 800+ billion by taxing us 2.2 trillion.

    Total wealth in America is 17 something trillion (GDP). We tax at a GDP of 22%. That's 3.6 trillion. His policy cost 2.2 trillion. Fucking do the math bro

    Nope... I have roughly 12k debt to my 150k earned. That's less than 10% of my GDP
