Legal Insurrection is reporting on Bernie Sander’s latest utopian experiment. A program to give everyone who wants or needs one, a job working for the government for $15.00 an hour.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will announce a plan for the federal government to guarantee a job paying $15 an hour and health-care benefits to every American worker “who wants or needs one,” embracing the kind of large-scale government works project that Democrats have shied away from in recent decades.
A rep. for Sanders was quick to point out that they have not yet figured out how to fund it ow what it would cost.
That’s because you can’t fund it. It’s a Ponzi scheme that kills the golden goose of capitalism required to pay for it. But don’t let that deter your plan because from the Daily Wire,
[It] also includes dividing the country into 12 separate “districts” within the United States, each with a specialized area of industry, that would develop service projects and major infrastructure job plans, which they would then forward to the Department of Labor for approval.
Katniss Everdeen was from District 12 before she volunteered to be in the Hungar Games in place of her younger sister. And what makes the comparison more amusing is that the fanboys, fangirls, and fan-everyone-else “Feel the Bern” fan-culture pictures Bernie in the part of Katniss, not President Snow.
One other apt comparison. While Katniss finds herself on the winning side, in the end, her life after the war is an emotional wreck and an empty ruin (read the book). That’s how Bernie’s burnished turd in a flushless toilet will turn out, no matter how many districts it starts with or how much the “starting pay.”
