better our educational system

As Bernie Sanders has said, taking action on all these fronts would therefore spur growth, employment, and median incomes. (In this respect, I disagree with the views of four former chairs of the Council of Economic Advisors from the Clinton and Obama administrations.)

I do like Reich's approach; using history to see into the future. I have felt for 2 decades that we have a great need to rebuild our infrastructure, to better our educational system, and to increase access to both. This has, in the past, allowed for a middle class to thrive and spend money on things; in other words allow our economy to grow in a healthy way. I'd like to see the middle class grow again. I realize my "quality" of retirement depends upon it.

You have it backwards, the people supporting Bernie want YOUR stuff.

Clinton's speaking fees—which have netted the former secretary of state millions in recent years—have come under scrutiny during the campaign, with Sanders and others suggesting they show she is too closely aligned with big banks.

Politico reported earlier this month that when she addressed Goldman Sachs executives and technology titans at a summit in Arizona in October of 2013, "she spoke glowingly of the work the bank was doing raising capital and helping create jobs, according to people who saw her remarks."

The [speaking fees] issue seems to have resonated with voters, like the man who asked Clinton about the speaking fees at Thursday's MSNBC-moderated Democratic presidential town hall in Las Vegas.

"As a realtor here in Nevada I know how important the economy is to our great nation," he said. "As a Democratic candidate who has delivered speeches to the largest U.S. financial institutions in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees, why are you hesitant to release transcript or audio/video recordings of those meetings to be transparent with the American people regarding the promises and assurances that you have made to the big banks?"

"Let me say this," Clinton responded, "I am happy to release anything I have when everybody else does the same because every other candidate in this race has given speeches to private groups, including Senator Sanders."

The New York Times reported in May 2015 that in the year prior, Sanders had collected $1,867.42 for three appearances, "a grand sum that is chump change in presidential politicking but enough for the senator to respectably donate the money to charity."

Much of the chaos wrought upon the middle-class has to do with shipping jobs overseas, and bringing in workers from abroad to "supplement" workers here.

So, how about that Kasich dude? I never get any emails from him.....
