Trump & Sanders; Getting Real

Sanders led the first student sit-in in Chicago history being arrested in 1962 protesting racially segregated student housing. All of the major candidates besides Trump are lawyer-career politicians. Sanders at least has backbone, and was the sole Democrat to vote against making Bush-era tax cuts permanent. Keynesian economics are for emergencies and not viable permanent policy. The nation has nearly 20 trillion of public debt and Wall Street was pumped up with free loans from the federal Reserve the past several years. For each dollar a bank is given free it can also loan out 4 dollars based on the 1 dollar in effect electronically minting money. Thus the Federal Government has been giving trillions of free dollars to Wall Street banks during the Obama administration. Wealth is being concentrated and the public looks to Trump or Sanders to get real, though no candidates are good at environmental economics and the bees are dying out.
