How would prices increase for normal products? The few cents Walmart would increase their prices to pay for the increase in wages (assuming they wanted to keep their profit margin) would halt the entire countries devolvement ? (WalMart was an example but you wouldn't see that dramatic increase of prices, especially since Bernie wants a gradual increase not a one day its 7.25 the next its 15. No, it would be something like by his 3rd or 4th year it would be 15 dollars an hour

You realize that the great recession was THE BIGGEST recession since THE GREAT DEPRESSION. If it had been much worse we would have had a second depression.

Which is why Bernie's number 1 issue is overturning citizens united and making the US a rep. Democracy again not a oligarchy. Disagree with him or not that ALONE should be one of if not the biggest reason to vote for him.
There will be 2-3 seats he will probably need to refill on the courts (depending on whether or not the Republicans will block Obama from appointing one) and that would easily be enough to overturn the ruling.
He wants to be FDR 2.0 essentially.

That argument doesn't stand up though, when the estimated cost of the program would be
75-100 billion dollars and the proposed payment method would raise ~275-300 billion.

Also pointing out a bill and saying that would happen again completely neglects the fact that universities probably spent billions of dollars to lobby for it to make it as weak as possible and loop-hole ridden.

While I think you're over exaggerating any possible price increase, there are few things to consider:
1) The revenue from the tax Bernie wants to implement would be able to pay for much more than what it would be if prices didn't change at all
2) The tax is, again, on stock speculation. Not any middle class.
3) What about Sweden, Japan, Norway, Finland, Denmark, France, The UK, Canada... The list goes on of countries that have free tuition and not only do they outcompete the US school system in almost every which way, they just lump in universities as the next step from highschool, the same way they view the progression for middle school to highschool.

Are you really playing the game of semantics? Seriously? You knew what I bloody meant. And blatantly pulling numbers out of your ass is also kind of insulting. Not to mention that we need to move away from gas anyways and start using more renewable sources. And you completely disregarded my point on the amount of control the gov. Would have on universities. If universities wanted to increase their tuition cost the gov could just cut them off from any gov. Benefits, not let them be a public university, and oh look all their students went to other colleges that they could afford.

You do understand that the payment for colleges wouldn't come from the middle class it would be payed for by a tax on stock speculation. Secondly, what makes you think he doesn't care about the middle class? Near all of his policies would benefit them. Additionally you understand the amount of leverage the government would have over universities for prices? Oh you wouldn't reduce your tuition cost? *Poof* you're not longer a public college and now almost every one of your students isn't going to be able to go and have to go to a different school and oh look you're bankrupt.

1) Again with whites having the highest number of people in the U.S.
2) I acknowledged that HollyWood does have a problem (whether small or large its undeniable that they do)
3) Statistics are beautiful thing
4) How many people of those weren't mixed? E.g. 1/8+ of a different race.

-Low wage workers spend almost all of their page raises in the private market, which would in the long term, increase growth
-Obama didn't try universal health care he implemented a individual mandate, COMPLETELY different and if you don't know that you shouldn't even be having the debate over healthcare,
-that doesn't make any sense I don't even know what you're saying that was such an illogical sentence. The government would pay public college tuition, how that would correlate with any increase in the rise of prices for tuition is a logical connection I don't even understand the bases for
-so you're okay with 6 people having more money than 100,000,000? That seems fair? Not to mention that the top 1% owns more wealth than 80-90% of the country. That's not an issue? That seems fair?

What I don't understand is that while yes Hollywood does have a problem with race (how big it is is the question, but it does it exist to a certain extent) but even if it didn't have any problems then it would make sense that once in a while there would be only one race that would get nominated simply due to statistics. Not to mention that white people are the largest ethnic population in the US so that would increase their odds further. And that doesn't even include the fact that I doubt most of the people who are angry about this would give a shit if it was all black, Latino, etc. When that has a MUCH lower statistical change of happening, the people who would point that out if it was racist understand what probability and statistical outliers are, and therefore wouldn't unless they actually had grounds to say it.

Um do you understand what those policies do?
-15$ min wage, makes it so no one works 60 hours a week and still live in poverty (massive problem for America)
-Universal health care, as I already mentioned, would save you money. 2.2% tax on households is FAR less then what we pay now, near 1/4-1/5 of most Americans income are spent on healthcare. And looking at other countries with socialized care, they pay less per capita, AND GET BETTER CARE.
-Universal college, also in all other modern countries (most of which have happier self reporting citizens) would make it so we don't treat students as customers.
Additionally, he would rebuild instructor, make 12 weeks of family leave the law, overturn citizens united by near any means necessary, and make it so we don't have RIDICULOUS amounts of income inequality. E.g. One family (the Walton family) owning more wealth the bottom 40% OF AMERICANS.
40%
THEY HAVE MORE WEALTH (6 PEOPLE) THAN ALMOST 100,000,000

Well disregarding the fact that trump has a large number of confederates (among a slew of other things) behind him and most of sander's "hate" comes from debating policy, I'd genuinely like to see either of you two even give some basic points on what Bernie sanders wants. Just give me some basic parts of his platform. I'll wait.
Now you can disagree with his platform, but before we even have that debate I'd like to know if even understand what he wants.

Uh I'm sorry have you looked at Bernie sanders tax plans he doesn't raise taxes for most of America besides a 2.2% tax on households to pay for healthcare, something that most Americans spend 1/4-1/5 of their income on, SO HE WOULD SAVE THEM MONEY.So shut up with this "HE'S GONNA RAISE TAXES FOR EVERYONE!1!!" bullshit.
