The most promising Democratic candidate in … as long as I can remember. Forget corporate shills like the Clintons: Bill Clinton’s economic record was just neoliberal poison (see also here). Why would Hillary be any better?
Sure, you can make criticisms of Bernie, but there is nobody else as good as him.
One point: he should go big on fiscal policy first and make the economy boom before reforming the tax system. Leave tax system reform until after unemployment has fallen to low levels, and one has to be careful with taxes on speculation (see Davidson 2002: 205–210).
