Just run through NY, LA, Chicago, Boston, Houston, Atlanta, Denver, San Fran, Seattle, and Miami....promise everyone a check and a free puppy, viola....you're president.

I hope the GOP gets on board with this super-delagate shit.
E.G. Comrade Bernie was promising free education, by redirecting funds currently allocated to keeping wars going to educate your people. Are you against free education? Color me biased there because I am definitely for free education for everyone in all walks of life; an educated populace has too many benefits too mention, including but definitely not limited to dramatic reduction in crime rates, incarcerations, etc.

Intelligent people are more difficult to fool as well. No student loan to burden you forever, which is debt you can't get out of even if you go bankrupt. More and better jobs for everyone, because people would have more ideas and knowhow in how to run businesses, higher level skills, ability to discern gaps in the market and use their educations to seize the opportunities provided, among many many other benefits. It's a utopia, but one that was definitely achievable in our lifetimes.

I don't understand how people can be against free education. If given the opportunity, would you prefer to keep wars going (with every consequence thereof, like blemishing the US in the eyes of other countries etc., getting more and more enemies by the day therefore needing more war) rather than give your population free education?
