Tell that to Greece

By the way, Alex Tsipras has just resigned today.  


The US is closer to Greece economically than Sweden. And the US isn't close economically to Greece.

The U.S. is nearly 19 trillion dollars in debt.  I understand that the US is much larger and more diverse than Greece.  I also understand that the US can simply print more money and cause inflation rather than defaulting on their payments.  However, that does not change that the US, in about a decade, will become the next Greece unless the national debt is under control.  What sort of actions will Bernie Sanders do to reduce the national debt?  Redistriubte wealth?  You need to look no further than what Barack Obama has done over the past 6.5 years in his efforts to redistribute wealth.

Despite spending trillions trying to redistribute wealth, the poverty rate for women, blacks, and other groups has gone up since President Obama took office.

By making it more difficult for private enterprise to make money - high taxes and constricting regulation - the Democrats have actually harmed the poor and stifled the middle class.

So my question to you, or anyone else, what will Bernie Sanders do differently than what Obama has currently done?
