On the issue of Social Security, Bernie Sanders' public statements on the issue reveal a train wreck of deception, in which he serves as an ever subtle undertow of subterfuge for a system on which millions depend.
It is fair to say that his mistakes are small. The problem is that Social Security is a trillion dollar system which small is actually a big problem. His errors always fall in the same direction as though mistakes are not a random event. If he were simply uninformed, the errors would go in both directions. The piece only highlights 6 examples because that was the list came from an article. In a three minute video, he may have 2 sentences that are actually factually right.
I have extracted six quotes from the video provided by OccupyDemocrats, all of which are false or grossly misleading. If you watch carefully, there is always a word with a new meaning. A number that doesn't quite add-up correctly. The only reason that the list isn't longer, is because Sanders only spoke for 3 minutes.
