Reminds of FDR's policies of putting people to work.

The more I read about him, the better I like him.

He's opposes to the TPP. Wonder how the Unions feel about Bernie? I would think they would be very interested in his campaign.

Unions have been donating to Dems for a long time, but have expressed huge disappointment over the past few years.

They contribute a lot of money, though nowhere nears as much as Corporations.

Still, if they were to support him that would give his campaign a huge financial boost.
