Clinton vs Sanders. What both are promising

Politicians have a habit of making promises that they show the urge of fulfilling once they win the elections. More often than not, they can’t come good on the promises; well at-least not all of them. Let’s analyse some of the promises made by candidate Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders that they plan to make good if they win:

Hillary Clinton:

Clinton has been around the federal government long enough for us to know all about her. Unlike Bernie Sanders, her immediate opponent who is the independent Senator from the city of Vermont, everybody in the federal community is familiar with Clinton.

Ms Hillary Clinton has always been one for making promises. She recently said to a union audience that she would make sure that she cuts around 500 thousand private contracting jobs during the first year of her presidential tenure. Although she didn’t mention that what the replacements would look like and whether there would be new federal employees involved or not. She also has showed open approval of giving the federal employees the paid parental leave luxury. The President has also taken steps in this regard.

Clinton has also been supportive of the gay, transgendered, bi-sexual and lesbian federal employees when she was part of the state department. Even though some recent email revelations indicate that her support wasn’t heart-felt.

Bernie Sanders:

Not many knew about Mr Sanders when he started his campaign. We all know him now as the candidate who is running for the Democratic party and who doesn’t sound like he learnt to speak English in Vermont.

Sanders has promised a lot of stuff too. He wants the postal service visits to continue for 6 days during a week. He has also worked against the proposals that have been aimed at lowering the inflation calculation for the annuities of the retirees. Apart from this, he has also taken some other steps that indicate that he is a man of calibre.
