1285 Words6 Pages

This upcoming November, is the 2016 presidential elections and all across America registered citizens will be able to vote for their next president. Currently, Bernie Sanders is one of the Democratic candidates that is running and he has his own ideas and plans for when he becomes the next president.

As president, Bernie Sanders will fight to make college tuition free and debt free. “When we talk about free public education in America, it shouldn 't mean just K through 12, it should mean free tuition at public universities and colleges all over the nation,” Sanders said (Bernie Sanders). Completely free tuition will be difficult to achieve, however, Sanders has developed a 6-step plan that he ensures will work. The first step, is making tuition free at public colleges and universities. Under the College for all Act, the government would cover 67% of the cost and the remaining percentage (33%) relies on the states. Next, he would stop the government from making a profit on student loans. Bernie is going to restore the formula which was in effect until 2006 that substantially lower student loan interest rates. Under the proposed college for all act, interest rates could never rise above 8.25% (www.sanders.senate.gov). In addition, his plan would allow …show more content…

Even though Bernie Sanders is behind in the delegate count, the upcoming primaries have a higher delegate’s numbers and he believes the majority of them will favor him instead of Hillary Clinton. Bernie has received 6 representatives from the house for endorsements, while Clinton has 159 representatives, 40 senators and 13 governors for her endorsements. Clinton is way in the lead for endorsement so, I don 't think Sanders will have a chance to catch up. Dr. Cornel West, Ed Schultz and Neil Young are individuals who are contributing to his

    383 Words  | 2 Pages

    In “The Bernie Bomb” by Kimberley Strassel, critical, mocking tones emphasize Strassel’s feelings towards Bernie Sanders’ inability to become the President of the United States. Bernie Sanders gave quite a performance at the first Democratic debate of the year. Strassel shares her thoughts on the nature of his responses to important issues during the debate by concluding that his followers should regret making donations to his campaign seeing that he really is not in it to win. Her witty critiques indicate her strong feelings that donating to Sanders’ campaign in hopes that he will become President, is truly not worth the money. Strassel’s diction heightens the uncertainty and unprofessional manner behind Sanders’ attempt at trying to be elected as President, which leads his supporters to doubt their contribution to his campaign.

    After nearly fifty days in the White House, President Trump has done an excellent job. On his second day in office he vowed to destroy the Islamic State, and on his ninth day he fulfilled his promise of a 5 year-ban on officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government, and a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government, which was a promise kept.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Senator John Mccain

    374 Words  | 2 Pages

    I think that Senator John McCain has a very valid point in the problems with the polarizing political spectrum and parties. If the political divide was not present, I feel like the US government would so much more effective and actually pass legislation for the constituents, not the political party that they stand for on paper. However, ultimately I do not think that it is feasible, at least in the short term, and definitely not possible in the current inflammatory political environment. I suspect that the earliest that this mindset could truly take hold would neither be with the 115th nor the 116th congress, but afterwards when the executive branch acts less spontaneously. The ethics committee in the house of representatives, is a standing

    Going to college is similar to going to the casino, in the sense that many people are told they should be willing to take a loss for a possible win in the end. In his essay “It’s Time to End Tuition,” Jon Wiener tackles the problem we have in America in which students incur massive amounts of debt as a result of attending college. He is successful in painting a picture for his audience with an analogy describing how many people attending college in pursuit of higher education end up owing “more on their student loans than they do on their credit cards” (Wiener). In order to stop student loan debt problems in America we should provide more opportunities for individuals who desire more education by making tuition at public colleges free which

    Bernie Sanders: Not the President America wants But the One We Need Senator Bernie Sanders is the fittest president for the 2016 presidential election and should win because he has the most promising and favorable solutions for the issues that would benefit a majority of the lower and middle class. Unlike other candidates who run their campaign solely based on media attention and wealthy sponsors who pay to have say in the federal government controlling the nation without the people’s consent; Senator Sanders on the other hand is trying to put a stop to corrupt politicians and is trying to benefit “We the people” and not “us, the wealthy individuals of the US.” In today’s current economy, most of the United States’ wealth is held by the 0.1% percent of families in the whole US, that’s about as equivalent of all the wealth of the lower 90% of Americans. The US has one of the biggest income gaps from around the world
