Lol... necessary? Thats totally objective. Just as much as saying its necessary to love halo to own an xbox, or god of war for the ps4.
His programs are fucking retarded. His plans to pay for them are not going to work... you Sanders fans seriously want to see the country burn or just don't understand economics.

No, it's not necessary as in having to own a PS4 or an Xbox One, grow up.
It's necessary if you people don't want a revolution on your hand. That and Sanders policies pay themselves back in part. Better healthcare and better (acces to) education is crucial for the US economy.
And I studied economics, thank you very much.

One econ class doesn't count....
"Better access to education" is a liberal myth. An economy can only support so many educated jobs before creating education creep. The US is already at approximately 40% college educated adults, and it now requires a degree to work at a call center. As a good case study look at the developing nation of Peru. They actually offer FREE puplic education (based on competitiveness), yet due to an over supply of educated workers - underemployment is insane.
A $15 an hour federal minimum wage is also shit. Low skill jobs make up a majority of the positions that add to cost of living ranging from farms, retail, fast food, call centers, child care, PCAs (personal care attendants), warehouses, manufacturing, packaging, etc.
You'd see a spike in the cost of living of at least 20-40%. While the low skill industry will mostly self adjust and see slight raises, the middle class and those on defined payments will not. The middle class will have less to spend with, and the elderly and disabled will be screwed.
You will also see the the childcare industry be destroyed. If I paid my nanny $10 an hour before... I on't need $5 more an hour myself to afford her... Ineed $7. Her wages come out of my net income... not gross. Certified Nusing Assistants and Personal Care attendants are in the same boat.
Wait.. and then there's his universal healthcare plan. He rationalizes the tax hike as a swap from premiums to tax. He forgets 80% of premiums are company paid...
