Yet another reason to vote for Bernie

Clinton and the Republicans compete for the position of Israel’s lapdog: At the annual AIPAC convention, the Democratic and Republican front-runners engaged in what might be called a “pander-off” as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump tried to outdo the other in declaring their love and devotion to Israel. Yet, what was perhaps most troubling about […]

Hillary’s against for-profit schools, except…

If this is true it is truly disheartening: Student loan debt continues to be one of the largest economic issues plaguing the U.S., with the total amount topping $1.3 trillion.

Thoughts on Hillary

Several days ago I went to our local Drinking Liberally chapter meeting, where we drank (not terribly liberally) and argued politics, Hillary people versus Bernie people.
