Bernard Sanders Quotations

We are facing a national crisis. We had a very serious situation before Katrina, ... It is very frightening for people to see the price of gas at the pump head to three dollars a gallon. It is very frightening for older people to wonder whether they will be able to heat their homes this winter.

I agree with the President that we're going to have to spend billions to rebuild New Orleans, but I do not agree that that money should come from savage cuts in health care, education or economic development, ... Instead, we should stand up to powerful special interests and eliminate hundreds of billions in corporate welfare.

I think right now within the veterans community, certainly with the Congress, there is generally widespread feeling that they have failed their task and it is time to say, thank you, we have got to go elsewhere, to go to those researchers and those agencies who are prepared to take a hard look at the role that chemicals and other environmental factors may have played in the causation of Gulf War illness.
