His plans for America make me skeptical- $15 minimum wage, free college, universal health care, etc etc.

 

I understand European countries doing so, but America? An extremely important country with 300 million civilians in it? Can Bernie's vision of a country benefit us? 

 

Our debt is already bad as it is. Wouldn't his goals make our debt skyrocket once again?

If your financial institutions would stop taking huge risks and putting so many middle class families in debt, your debt problem wouldn't be so big. Not to mention that if more citizens can achieve better education and get better jobs, that benefits the economy and thus the US treasury.

Otherwise, I can see another debt crisis arise when the amount of people defaulting on their debt becomes too big.

American economics is confusing. I mean, wow. This thread just leaves me in more shambles. 

 

One thing I saw repeated was corporations ignoring taxes. Also saw a lot about Wall Street. I'm going to need to read up on US economics.
