  1. You gotta spend money to make money baby! that's how it works.

  2. i hate democrats but i like bernie

  3. One thing Republicans and Democrats agree on is funding another endless war

  4. He’s a obnoxious clown, and has zero understanding of the economy and how it actually functions

  5. I used to support Bernie. Big disappointment! If he held up some bills to get some of the issues he always talks about, like Joe Manchin, i would probably still support him. I see no fighting from him or the rest of the "progressive democrats".

  6. Go away Socialist.
    Your ideas failed.

  7. Men can have babies anti trans..why didn't he mention them

  8. He just messed up add AOC because that's a real nut even as a politician oh boy,who voted for her???

  9. The nerve of the all these businesses.. How dare they try to turn a profit! Outrageous! 🙄

  10. Bernie has all the answers 🙄… If he was elected we would bread rations and an 80 percent tax rate…. Use your brains when we vote folks

  11. I think Bernie is right too.

  12. Bernie it is our democrate President that mandated the jabs and many many people that were heros during covid loss their jobs if they didn't take the jabs. That had people locked up for not wearing mask made in China. Fire fighters, nurses, doctors, emergency services, our military all loss or were fired from their jobs for jab mandates. Yet all the thousands of people from all around the planet walking into our country through our borders were never mandated to take any jab nor mandated to wear masks even today but especially at the height of the Pandemic. Fetterman want to make all street drugs legal and has and still wants to let criminals out of prisons, so the very Fentyal that is being brought into our country killing our loved ones Fetterman wants to make the Fentyal legal and not have anyone that has sold that Fentyal face absolutely noi charges. And we had inflation before the Ukraine War. And the out of control DC spending does fall on the tax payers and our children great grandchildren and great grand grandchildren. We are talking about trillions and trillions of tax payers money with interest that has to be paid back and its not Bernie that will pay any of it back or anyone that has over a million dollars as they get all kinds of tax right offs, and all the other tax right offs they legislation for themselfs. Just like the very laws on investing that goes on and make millions of dollars with while holding office. Watch how right after the Nov election the price of everything will cause a depression around this world like never before. Watch how when they have caused the Civil unrest that will come from spending so much money and food, gas, housing be so unattainable all these Politicans will hide in their underground bunkers while people will be killing each other.

  13. This man should have retired years ago.

  14. Bernie the oil that Americans are filling up today came from emergency reserve, don’t mix it up Bernie. Also, your administration tried very hard to start war with Putin, not you in particular but Clintons Bidens are part of the Pentagon agenda to “weaken Russia”
    Bush said that on air as well.
    You should ran as independent don’t mix yourself with Democratic Party, there are a lot of billionaires on the left they basically own Silicon Valley and no they aren’t too kin on paying high taxes.

  15. Bernie is one of the few honorable people left in government who really wants to help people. It's a shame that is such a rare thing.

  16. biden, just like fdr and nixon did, must apply executive orders for price and cost of gas and grocery , wage, and rent regulation to provide stability. this will level off inflation. furthermore we must tax the rich, not the poor, and only make loans to the poor and middle class. this will correct inflation. the interest rates must not go any higher, and the rich must be taxed 45 percent, so that the poor and middle class can stabilize the economy before the rich wreck it any more than they already have.. biden should replace powell at the FED with Liz Warren or even better, a progressive democratic economist. we also must not put any money into war. any individuals such as putin or zelensky who cause war must be arrested immediatly and held until they can be found guilty of war crimes or sign an agreement to end all war. war, manufacture of WMDs and the sale and buying of WMDs, and murder, should be highly illegal , prevented with arrests, and those found resposible prosecuted, as soon as it starts.

    the sergeant at arms should be sent to arrest trump when he doesnt show up to testify . he should be recomended for a criminal hearing for his treason, sedition , espionage, obstruction, inciting an armed mob, and murder at the capital, destroying government property, theft of government property, injuring government employees, sending out representatives to tresspass on capital grounds, criminal negligence, dereliction of duty, violation of his oath of office, amd other criminal federal and state crimes done on jan 6th. these are not civil crimes.if trump does not show up to testify he should sit in a capital jail while a criminal trial is arranged for all of these crimes. if trump shows up and pleads the 5th, it would be a tradgedy, because then the jan 6th committee would let him off the hook for his criminal crimes. this is not acceptable. these crimes are self evident. merrick garland should just arrest him and charge trump now for all of these criminal violations of the law while he waits in jail for his criminal court date to be set and heard. he should get life for each individual crime, and get most of the time off for flippping on everyone else and putting them all away (about 300 people) for 20 years minimum with good behaviour. these are not civil cases, they are criminal, and need to be heard as criminal cases immediately. merrick garland has been protecting all of these criminals and must arrest them. steve bannon and allan wesselberg should both get 20 years, not a month ot 6 months.. all of them should, with no exception, get 20 years to life each, to save americas integrity. this is why we must vote democrat in droves in november, to take the house, senate and presidency which is long overdue. lets pass vote bill hr1 and many other much needed bills, if justice, health and well being for the people, economy and democracy are to be preserved. merrick garland must do his job now to save america, including arresting justice thomas and his wife, for planning and supporting the insurrection with the other treasonists, and biden must install 5 new justices to the supreme court now. now NOW!

  17. Socialism suck's
    Along with Bernie and his socialist ideas. Every Country that has tried saw how miserable if fails: England, India, Cuba, Venezuela & now Canada's health care is about to self-destruct. Both should be tossed in the trash pile of history.
    If it wasn't for businesses both large and small, who do you think would be creating jobs.

    The government, Not. It doesn't create jobs Except for the 87K
    IRS agents going after your wages! Regardless of your income bracket, they are going to find your mistakes and take more of your hard earn dollars.

  18. Bernie Sanders is an absolute nut job. Does Bernie pay extra money out of his salary. This guy never talks about the economy. He loves to spend everybody's tax money, not his money. We have a moron for a president and a vp is so off key that it makes people sick.
    Vote Republican. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

  19. "Mandela believes in law enforcement" what a joke, just now till election day he does – after that, he's back to the Woke agenda 100%.

  20. What's the old line? "I'll tell you what's wrong with socialism – but first give me your shirt."

  21. Remember he is a socialist

  22. My parent's were cooking a pot roast and it didn't smell good at all while it was cooking but tasted alright anyone else been noticing this when praperaing meats? Gravy turned out o.k. too but I was a little leery but now it has me wondering about the whole eating bug's thing nasty . I didn't get sick. Vote republican if you want inflation to go away and you dont want eat cricket's !!!!!

  23. 2022 USA NOT PANDEMIK ITS CCP BYOWAR 💀ATTACK ON ALL FREE PEOPLZ OF EARTH BERNEE 2022 USA🇺🇸⚡️⚡️🗽

  24. No one who receives SSI/SSDI should be forced into poverty. Government needs to correct this problem for all working americans, NOW, KEEP YOUR PROMISES YOU MADE 2 YEARS AGO.

  25. Open borders drain oil reserves should do it.

  26. definitely not dem spending seeing that the deficit has decreased under the biden admin so far.

  27. Elon paid more personal taxes in one year than every potus congressman senator scotos vpotus in history combined.

  28. Fuc gas and oil. Let the price change earth

  29. Pandemic caused inflation. Can't give everyone A thousand dollars for nothing and not have inflation. Trick now because it was necessary is lower and slow gas and oil

  30. Dems might get routed. Bad policies.

  31. The actual circle is spending then hikes. Fed does not raise rates for the fun of it. It's not either or, it's both.

  32. The economy is the work of the democrats and Biden people. Chuck your a 💩.
    Trump 24
