Venezuela has successfully destroyed their oil industry in the name of socialism and the "evils" of Big Oil, thus solving all of their country's ills. Right Al? Venezuela has successfully reduced their "carbon footprint." Isn't that a great thing, folks?
If you want to see into AOC's New Green Deal "crystal ball," just watch the news in Venezuela.
Anybody watch ole Bernie Sanders tell us all how "government is working" for us, when we stand in line and receive our free food? Hey Bernie, tell us again about the evils of crony capitalism from your new Lake Champlain getaway vacation home, which was your consolation prize from the DNC for dropping out of the 2016 race against Hillaree? |

Some argue that the real reason for the focus on Venezuela is that poverty is decreasing, fewer people in poverty and that is the real threat.
Any fair and reasonable person would agree that in a developed nation like the US we should have universal health care. Bernie was ahead of the curve on this. Even conservatives who are very focused on cost/benefit analysis would agree that universal healthcare makes fiscal sense for all Americans.
Bernie is also pushing free college in the same way that public school is free. At first I thought this was idiotic, but since then I have seen more accurately what he is calling for (no impact on private schools, but rather public universities). I agree with him. The jobs that you only needed a HS degree for 50 years ago you now need a college degree. Also, the return on investment to the government from the increased tax revenue more than pays for the cost. Also, HS teachers now need graduate degrees, hence those who teach HS have the qualifications that were necessary to teach college 50 years ago.
The only way the US maintains a position as one of the top countries in the world is through having an educated populace. Even conservatives should understand the cost/benefits. You can see the benefit to the US for having universal public school available to all through 12th grade. You can compare it with countries that don't offer this. Seeing the benefits we have gotten over the last 50 years we should therefore improve this program to include undergraduate degrees.
