Stilton’s Place: As the old saying goes, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t teach simple math to Bernie Sanders.” A saying which is particularly apt in light of the Vermont senator’s statement that he will soon be announcing a new federal jobs program which would guarantee a $15/hour job and health benefits to every adult American who “wants or needs one.”
Sure, such a program sounds like it would be prohibitively expensive, but surprisingly the whole thing could be funded simply by raising taxes so high that the evil rich and the somewhat-evil middle class will literally beg for quick, merciful deaths.
Even apart from the funding for such a program, we foresee a number of other problems with the idea:
• What the heck kind of jobs will these even be? Jobs in the actual government?! Because we’re not guessing that this new pool of workers would add much in the way of efficiency for our already hopelessly moribund bureaucracies. Or will the government create businesses which will compete with their private sector counterparts, who will be at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to getting employees or actually being profitable?

Up yours Burnout.
hey! why not? …. it worked for 3 home & lifetime pension Bernie
What the hell gives Bernie any right to talk about work. The lazy non productive turd got kicked.out of a hippie commune for being lazy. Last guy I would take work advice from.
I want to make bumper stickers that say “Proof that I am a moron!” and stick them on every car I see that still has a bernie sticker on it.
What do we need jobs for?

@Deplorable-thats hits the nail squarely on the head.
How about a $15 an hour hand job? Just as useful.
Hey Bernie, why not do it in your own state first, after five years if it succeeds and then you can talk to us, no federal money by the way.
Ol’ Bern is giving a handjob out? Anything to get elected I guess, but no thanks.
Bernie will use the federal land the government confiscated to start collective communes.
Dead beat US Citizens will do less work at a higher wage than deported illegal aliens used to do.
I’m holding out for a pony and a lifetime supply of skittles, Bernie.
I’ve often found it curious how a socialist true-believer could have such discerning taste in automobiles, such as Bernie’s Audi R8 (From $138,700)
Someone tell Bernie that SWEDEN already tried the living wage experiment, and they cancelled it.
Watch Europe.
Observe their stupidity.
Don’t repeat it here.
Thank you.

@jethro, yep, saw some jackass yesterday driving north bound with his Bernie sticker still on the back of his car. He needs one of your stickers.
