Nebe,
Actually most Vermonters will tell you that Bernie has done a great job of constituent support and that is what got him into the Senate. Now agreeing with him politically is another story.
For years I have called Bernie "The Limbaugh of the Left", since he comes up with things that as simplistic ideas seem to make sense, but when you look in depth at them they are pretty leaky theories.
He does think and I agree that the middle class is disappearing, we just don't agree on why.
I think it is because we depend on government to do things for society and add layers of middle and upper management to helping your neighbors.
Bernie thinks helping your neighbor is the job of government.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
