Republican's plan to reduce taxes on the executives making more than $10M won't sell any more phones.
They are rich and won't buy more phones.
Minimum wage increase will give millions enough to buy a new phone.
Bernie's plan to refinance student loans to 0% (same rate as big wall street banks) will sell 50 million additional phones.
Obamacare isn't EVEN done with us yet. There are horrors to come. Single payer is the goal, and health rationing for the masses.
Lots of illegals to get on the program to is another goal.
It's only... fair. Unless you're, you know... Obama or other politicians immune from it.
HOPE! CHANGE! Vote to make history!
Biggest load of BS in the history of this nation.
178445: I don't think you understand quite how this works. If you have to take branded pharmaceuticals for a medical condition that often isn't an option--because the price of the drugs is oftent the same or more than the COBRA. Also, it can restrict your right to work. If companies will only hire you through a PEO (leased employees) that only provides W-2 before deciding whether to take you on full-time, you either have to get by on their crappy coverage, or pay through the nose for extra coverage. Because once you take a jobe that provides a W-2 with another company, you can't be on COBRA anymore. So even if you're helathy, if you have a wife or kid with severe or chronic medical problem, you could STILL wind up at county despite having coverage.
People that get laid off will get cheaper insurance than COBRA. COBRA is super expensive because insurance companies know you only stay on COBRA if you are sick with pre-existing condition like cancer, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. Obamacare only went up 15% in my case (mainly because we now insure since EVERYBODY even the SICK people. BEFORE Obamacare, they had to go to county medical or emergency room for free care.
As if anyone here hasn't learned yet how badly Obamacare impacted our benefits.
Enjoy paying those larger medical bills Obama voters next year. You were played like fools.
After all as Pelosi said, we had to pass the bill to find out what's in it.... a big sh** sandwich!
AGREED, OBAMA IS WORSE THAN BUSH

For god sake put down the Obama crack pipe! Holy crap stop parroting admin propaganda BS. Yes Bush sucked But OBAMA IS WORSE THAN BUSH!

HHS: Record Number Of Americans On Welfare
http://fortune.com/2015/07/02/us-labor-force-participation-drops/
Combine this persistent drop in the labor force participation rate with the fact that U.S. worker productivity is dropping as well and that could add up to a big problem for the long-term health of the economy
Economic illiteracy is killing the country.
Bush raised the debt by killing 9 million jobs. People without jobs don't pay taxes. Obama has been repairing the economy.
Look at the number of people getting jobs each month. Q is the exception, but the overall economy is in much, much better shape now
after 7 years of Obama than after 8 years of GW Bush.
Bush didn't quite double it on his watch. Obama will by the time he leaves more than double it! This nation cannot endure this forever.
Yes Obozo sucks more than Bush did. WE are in serious trouble and few seem to be able to add simple numbers.
"Progressives" seem obsessed with endless new entitlements and letting in millions of illegals.
What cannot continue... won't. Something has to give. We may already be passed the event horizon. I don't know.
I hope it's not too late but so much of the public is on the teat and all the politicians are cowards to start weaning them off.
Again, it's a nuclear economic time bomb that can wipe out our fiat currency. I think there are ways out, but perhaps we are beyond
political solutions and the inevitable must occur.
@Anonymous177861, so you are saying they both about doubled the debt. Since debt is exponential (because the system wouldn't work if it was repaid), neither prez seems to be any better than the other. Typical pendulum voting -- one party is booted out in favor of the other, only to continue the exact same cronyism.

You're on crack and unable to do basic math. Debt is now 18 trillion and growing.
Obama has added 9 trillion since he became POTUS.
Bush added 4 to the 5 that already existed, Obama added 9. Come on now, I know basic math is hard for "progressives".
Obama has some words for you though on this........
“The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion dollars for the first 42 presidents — number 43 added $4 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.” -Senator Obama
Amen
OP is nuts. Raising the minimum wage is going to kill small businesses. Hamburger flipping and the like were never supposed to be considered lateral career moves, or to provide a "living wage" for families. It was originally the first job done in a mom & pop business by high school or college kids who assisted the shop owners. What we really need is someone who will yank most-favored-nation status for other countries who hack our computers, steal our IP, and ship H1-Bs here through PEOs, so major corporations can cut skilled workers' salaries and avoid the ACA.
Professors will get paid $600k a year and tuition will be over a million for 4 yrs. When government backs loans, why not drown the idiot kids in debt. It's working so far at quarter million for a degree
The original poster makes a lot of sense. Get more money to ordinary people and the will upgrade their phones.
Bernie's proposed saving by going to national health care will cut health insurance premiums by 1/2.
Canada's national health care is 1/2 the monthly premium of private USA insurance.
Middle class will have more money to buy a new phone.
Obama spent less than Bush did. Bush ruined this country.
Deficit due to Bush ruining the economy and therefore all those lost jobs due to GW Bush's stupidity.
More "progressive" utopia nonsense. 9 more trillion in debt the last seven years chasing idiocy. Double what Bush did.
The only Sanders worth listening to sells fried chicken!!!!
