While I'm not an economist, I have lived in America for over 65 years, and I have seen what works and what doesn't work. When the Middle/Working/Poor Classes have MONEY, they SPEND IT..... but the BEST argument against Hillary's NO. WE. CAN'T! is to simply point to every other developed country in The World. They have managed to successfully implement Plans very much like Bernie's.

Every single American who Works for a Living should certainly have realized by now that giant Tax Breaks for the Very Rich do NOT work for anybody but the already Very RICH.
