From Thom Hartmann
Senator Bernie Sanders (Democratic Socialist, Socialist Republic of Vermont) making some good points about when the nation is in crisis, whether it's an economic, national security, or a natural disaster, that the country should come together to deal with it and that you need a responsible and limited (as I would put it) there to take action against whatever the national emergency is.
I believe my only disagreements with Senator Sanders and I'm sure Thom Hartmann as well, is how government should respond to these issues and how they should be paid for.
Senator Sanders and Mr. Hartmann will always lean on the side of government (especially the Federal Government) to deal with these crisis and that taxes should be raised on the rich, or just borrow the money from China to deal with the crisis, or gut the military to pay for government's response to these crisis's.
I believe that since we are a country, even with a Federal Government that everyone who seeks or gets taxpayer services to deal with their own problems, should pay for the services that they get. And that the people on the ground themselves, including the state and local government's should get the first response and responsibility to deal with their own issues, as well as the individuals themselves.
What Senator Sanders and Mr. Hartmann would do instead or Uncle Sam (or in this case Uncle Bernie) with his topdown, big government, nationalize approach to dealing with every issue known to man, or making up new issues that they believe that big government should deal with by itself. At the expense of all of his nephews and nieces across the country.
