RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SANDERS: "Dana, what I think the president has done is given us a blueprint as to where we want to go. I think it’s a serious and comprehensive blueprint. Sometimes we get boggled down in numbers, and that’s important. But we’ve got to look at the needs of the American people, what’s going on right now. What is going on right now, obviously, as everybody knows, very rich isr doing phenomenally well, corporate profits are soaring. Yet working wages for people today is lower than it was 48 years ago. Half of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Does anyone think child care in America is satisfactory? It is a disaster. Working families can’t pay 15,000, $20,000 a year for child care. We’ve got a housing crisis. How do you not deal with climate? You tell me. Look what’s going on in California, Australia. Scientists tell us we have a few years left before there’s irreparable damage. Not to have paid family and medical leave. Meanwhile, large corporations of the rich avoid paying their fair share of taxes and you have to address that as well. All the president is doing, all I am doing is taking a look at reality for working families. Now it is time to create good-paying jobs, millions of good paying jobs, addressing housing infrastructure."
