Bernie Sanders, on PBS newshour tonight, is saying what needs to be said.
Edited on Wed Feb-16-11 07:40 PM by NRaleighLiberal
If it hasn't been on where you are yet, watch it. If you missed it, find it on line. He is calling it all out - the favoring of the rich, the expectation of the middle class and the poor to make the sacrifices. Just incredible. So refreshing to hear the truth.

16. This video segment is available right now
This should be required viewing for anyone who wants to call themselves progressive. Even Democrats should watch it.

9. It's so sad that the sight of decency and common sense from an elected official
excites us so much.

What has happened to this country?

10. Good question
Our country would be in much better shape if we had more elected officials like Bernie Sanders.

11. We need to mass produce him somehow.
I wish we had hundreds of him.

And yes, what a sad thing it is that we are reduced to tears when a politician stands up for the bottom 90%.
