Bernie Sanders Challenges

Most people in foreign countries will look at America’s presidential election and say it is a mess—heck even some Americans will tell you this. But after looking through the candidates, Bernie Sanders is essentially the best choice. Not only does he address challenges in a big way, work to help the working middle class, and make college easy access to almost everyone in America, he will also set some records if he becomes president. According to Walter Pinkman he will break two records by becoming the oldest U.S. President and the first Jewish-American President in U.S. history. In the first place, Sanders addresses challenges unlike any other candidate. “But Bernie Sanders is boldly and fiercely addressing the biggest challenges facing our

Tim Murphy stated, “Sanders wants to break up the biggest banks, double the minimum wage, and put the entire country on Medicare.” Sanders knows what it is like to struggle, he grew up in a working middle class family with a Polish Immigrant father. Sanders was always a strong believer, in college he would rather take further interest into his favorite topics over complete his school work. Murphy’s article also had this quote from an old friend of Sanders’,“‘He's not a hippie, never was a hippie,’ Sugarman says. ‘But he was always a little bit on the suburbs of society.’” Sanders has always been very involved in middle class and politics. Put those two topics together, you get the powerhouse debates that Sanders disputes on. One of the reasons Bernie Sanders makes the best candidate is because he hasn’t had these views for a few years—oh no, he has been active in most of his strong topics within politics for decades.

Sanders wants to “make tuition free at public colleges and universities, stop the Federal Government from making a profit on student loans, and allow students to use need-based financial aid and work study programs to make college debt free” (“On the Issues…”). There are so many American students who miss amazing education opportunities because the education is too expensive and they can’t deal with the debt that comes with loans. Sanders understands the tough struggle that students get from college, this is a reason he gets the younger votes from people below the age of 30. His plans have a chance to work, too. Germany eliminated tuition because they believed that charging students ridiculous amounts of money per year was discouraging Germans from going to college, which it was. Education is a huge part of America. But why should we stay in America for college when we can’t afford it? Even though this presidential election race is a mess, there still is an obvious best candidate—Bernie Sanders. Not only does he address challenges in a big way, work to help the working middle class, and make college easy access to almost everyone in America, he will also set some records if he becomes president. Bernie Sanders is a bold, fierce politician who is not afraid to speak his mind and tell you wrong from right. It doesn’t matter
