"I must concede however that economists from both ends of the political spectrum have determined that his budget numbers don't add up."

Well, there are also a number of economists, including Galbraith, that feel his numbers do add up. There also, if you read Galbraith's letter in the post above, seems to be a fairly large push to do a hatchet job on Sanders due to the size and scope of his economic proposals...and let's face it, and this is not me being paranoid, all of the big banks and Wall Street would not welcome the idea of President Bernie Sanders. The big money is against him.

Let me just say something here...I think we are in a war in this country, a major war and it is not a war on terror or a war on drugs. It is an economic war but this mostly gets discussed in terms of jobs and taxes because these are the aspects that the public feels the most. The truth is the war is on the middle class and the people that are waging it are Wall Street and the big banks that crashed the economy through their obscene greed and outrageous stupidity. Sanders is the only candidate that will address this and honestly, we can't get moving in the right direction until someone does. We're not failing as a country because Mexicans are crossing our border and "taking our jobs" and draining our economy...we're failing because our economy has been rigged in favor of the wealthy so that the middle class pays all the bills, and the wealthy get all the breaks and loopholes. They use Wall Street like is it a giant blackjack table and get bailed out if they lose (really get caught cheating) by the middle class.

"I also disagree with his "free tuition for state colleges" plan as I think it's essential that students have some skin in the game."

That's fine and not something I see as a major disagreement. Even if the compromise was to drastically reduce cost so that a student coming out of college does not begin his adult life with some obscene debt I think that would be fine. The point is Sanders is the one candidate for which reducing the cost of education is a large priority.

"And on the foreign policy front, he hasn't yet fully explained how he'd deal with the aggressive moves of Putin, China, and radical Islam."

Honestly, the president makes decisions based on what his foreign policy advisers tell him. Frankly, I'd trust Sanders to make better decisions on this front than the wild-eyed adventurers that sunk us in an endless and costly "war on terror" that helped snap the spine of our economic situation and led to the Untied States being perceived as a "menace" around the globe. Hillary buys into Kissinger style foreign policy moves and honestly she would be far worse than Sanders could ever be even if all he did was use a Ouija board and Magic 8 ball to make his decisions.
