Bernie Sanders Social Quotations

There are very powerful and wealthy special interests who want to privatize or dismember virtually every function that government now performs, whether it is Social Security, Medicare, public education or the Postal Service.

Before Social Security existed, about half of America's senior citizens lived in poverty.

Before Congress cuts funding for Head Start, Social Security, and financial aid for college, we have got to make sure that large, profitable corporations are paying their fair share of taxes.

I'm not that much of a socialist compared to Eisenhower.

Social Security has nothing to do with the deficit.

I did a lot of reading. I read about democratic socialism. And I read about the efforts of people for such a long time trying to create a society in which all people can live with dignity. And that's kind of what I believe.

Social Security is a promise that we cannot and must not break.

Instead of cutting Social Security, we're going to expand Social Security benefits.
