Trump suggesting that more countries should have nuclear weapons capability is foreign policy insanity, and it is no wonder that many countries are looking at the 2016 American presidential election cycle and wondering what diabolical chaos has infected the American electorate.

Choosing greater tax equity and less unproductive expenditures will allow Sanders' proposals to proceed to success for more people than the current trajectory of public policies.

There likely will be a larger number of somewhat smaller firms providing more specialized services.

Additionally, specialized insurance companies providing supplemental coverages to complement coverages from an expanded single-payer federal health care program could well represent a reorganized and more efficient and productive health insurance industry.  Consumers will likely spend money saved in one area in another area, thus keeping the velocity of money high.  Investors who recover money from one venture may reinvest it in others, so there will be plenty of opportunities to make plenty of money during a Sanders presidency, but those opportunities will occur within an environment of greater fiscal justice and more social responsibility.
