SPOX's Daily Briefing – Bernie’s World



The latest health crisis has showcased what a socialist economy would look like. While our hearts reach out to those who are suffering through these hard times and for the loss of loved ones, others are planning to take advantage of a bad situation.

His platform
1.      Fundamentally transform our energy system away from fossil fuel and towards energy efficiency and renewable energy.
2.      Free College for All.
3.      Increase the minimum wage to at least $15 per hour.
4.      Give Medicare for All to individuals by raising taxes for large corporations to pay for things.

One Congresswoman even suggested low-income Americans should boycott work after coronavirus shutdown ends and let the government pay for everything.

So is the plan measuring up during this crisis?

The fossil fuel industry has cut their emissions by 40% according to one expert.

We are now offering College for All on-line.

The $600 addition to the unemployment compensation adds up to $15 an hour, if the person worked 40 hours. The addition expires 7/31/20. Currently, we have 26M unemployed. (Rate up from 3.4% to 15%)

However, several people in Congress are pushing to extend the plan to 12/31/20. An expert said he estimates an 8% unemployment rate by the end of the year, if we have a $600 extension.

This is the World of Bernie in living color.

Salute to our doctors and medical workers and our first responders. They should be the ones getting the increase in pay.
