Warren, Biden, Sanders and that Big Rock Candy Mountain

Watching the Democratic presidential candidate debate -- with Elizabeth Warren promising government health care for all without saying she'll tax the middle class to pay for it -- was like staring from a distance at the Big Rock Candy Mountain.

You don't know the Big Rock Candy Mountain? That's the gorgeous Democratic Socialist paradise where everything is free.

"Where the handouts grow on bushes ... And the sun shines every day/ On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees/ The lemonade springs where the bluebird sings/ In the Big Rock Candy Mountains."

It sounds so nice, like Democratic economic policy written for modern Americans who've been trained to despise the freedom offered by capitalism, while yearning for free stuff promised by the federal masters.

Maybe they should play that song during future Dem debates. And it's all FREE!!!!!!

(p.s. I like to play that song on my guitar. But actually if there was a hobo's paradise,  the cops wouldn't have wooden legs and the guard dogs rubber teeth. Because there wouldn't be any cops or guard dogs.
But that's just me being pedantic about a folk song.)
