Bernie Sanders Doesn’t Understand How Jobs Are Created: There is a great deal of wisdom in the old saying, “there is no such thing as a free lunch.”

There is a great deal of wisdom in the old saying, “there is no such thing as a free lunch.” And while most, if not all, of our elected officials, would do well to remember this piece of advice, Bernie Sanders appears to need constant reminding.

Sanders has made a habit of trying to make federal programs more akin to the Oprah Winfrey Show, promising to provide market commodities, like health care and college, for free in the same way Winfrey gives away cars and gifts to her audience members. But unlike the Oprah Winfrey Show, which was responsible for its own funding during its 25-year run, the government pays for its programs by levying taxes on the people. Of course, this small fact has not prevented Senator Sanders from continuing his quest to make all things “free.”
