I see what you mean. It's a good point and the one that impacts many of us directly. Too bad there aren't enough of us to cause outrage or pressure the government into make the regulations less stringent.

All I know is American people want change and that change cannot be brought overnight. Bernie should win for that change but the situation is favoring Hillar or Trump. Let's pray for Bernie Sanders !!!

We can bury our head in the sand(ers) and sent the reality. It is easy to make promises but Will he be able to live up to it given the reality of the situation? Yes change is slow evolution. A rusted cart can be brought back to motion by greasing its bearings and by gentle pushes, not by slamming it with bulldozers. It will disintegrate if It's treated like that.
Look at the result of attempts of bringing overnight revolution in Iraq and Libya..

Bernie Sanders is (still) the future of the Democratic Party By Matthew Yglesias from VOX
Even in defeat in New York and most likely in the overall quest for the 2016 Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders has already won in another, perhaps more important way: His brand of politics is the future of the Democratic Party.
Sanders is the overwhelming choice of young voters, scoring 67 percent of voters under 30 in New York even while losing overall amidst a set of election rules that were highly unfavorable to his cause.
National Reuters polls now show him with a large 56-38 edge over Clinton with voters below the age of 40.
The votes of old people count just as much, of course, but any young and ambitious Democrat looking at the demographics of the party and the demographics of Sanders supporters has to conclude that his brand of politics is extremely promising for the future. There are racial and demographic gaps between Clinton and Sanders supporters, but the overwhelming reality is that for all groups, the young people are feeling the Bern.
Whether the first Sanders-style nominee is Sanders himself or Elizabeth Warren or someone like a Tammy Baldwin or a Keith Ellison doesn't matter. What's clear is that there's robust demand among Democrats — especially the next generation of Democrats — to remake the party along more ideological, more social democratic lines, and party leaders are going to have to answer that demand or get steamrolled.
"According to analysis of Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings by the Center for Responsive Politics, four of the top five employers of Sanders donors are tech companies. Google is number one, its employees having contributed more than $200,000. Microsoft, Apple and Amazon occupy the
third, fourth and fifth spots respectively. Hillary Clinton, by contrast, has no tech companies in her top five, and only one in her top 20.
Sanders also appears to be receiving far more individual contributions from tech workers than Clinton. A software engineer and Sanders supporter named Bill Schaller used the FEC filings to produce a pair of pie charts that break both sets of contributors down by occupation. Technology and education are the leading fields among Sanders donors, while Clinton’s are legal and retirees.
Momentum behind Sanders in tech is growing. As the Wall Street Journal and BuzzFeed recently reported, Bernie has seen a significant surge in contributions from the tech industry since late 2015, and is now out-raising Clinton more than two to one among tech workers. These seem to be first-time
contributors, since the amount of cash going to Clinton has remained steady while the amount going to Sanders continues to rise."
"The 2016 primary elections will significantly influence the Democrats’ political course for the next generation. Demographics imply Democrats will be the majority of the future, but the party’s political
identity and agenda is up for grabs.
If the Clinton vision prevails, the Democratic Party stands to become a party of neoliberal economics, wrapped in socially liberal identity politics. A Clinton-led Democratic Party will also continue President Obama’s tactical appeals to “bi-partisanship”.
The goal would be to enlist moderate upper-middle class Republican-leaning professionals into a corporate controlled Democratic Party franchise.
If the Sanders vision prevails, the Democrats will pivot toward their New Deal social democratic roots. In that case, economic solidarity and inclusion become the headline.
Under those circumstances, the Democratic Party would once again aspire to be a mass movement — rather than continue what it currently is: an awkward stitching together of corporate money,
social liberals and minority voters."
MAGA and all how do you feel about Trumps cabinet pick?
