+1 you'll see that he regularly references other countries that have already done this.

I'm esp a fan of Germany's education track, and having worked in crunch-heavy industries having something like a working time directive would be a Good Thing(tm).

other countries have done stuff that isn't quite what he proposes. They have very high taxes on the middle class, relatively low taxes on the rich ( via various loop holes and investment tax breaks ) and restrictions on who can go to free college. So, if you want to copy German or Swedish system, then be honest that it will require middle class taxation double of what it is now. Otherwise, Bernie's whole campaign is nothing more than a more civil version of Trump's "we'll be winning so much you'll be tired of winning" schtick
