EXCERPT:
SANDERS: "Well, what I mean by that, Dana, is that the president has a right to be very proud of many of the accomplishments that we have achieved in the last three years. Unemployment, very, very low. We have brought inflation down. We're investing in clean energy. We're rebuilding our infrastructure. We have made real progress in a number of areas. But the reality is that today, 60% of our people are living paycheck-to-paycheck. We have massive levels of income and wealth inequality. Three people have more wealth than the bottom half of America. Our healthcare system is a total disaster, 85 million people uninsured, uninsured, underinsured, while the insurance companies make huge profits. The cost of pharmaceutical drugs, prescription drugs, sky-high. So, the point is, in my view, the president should tout his very good record. We have got to continue to defend women's right to control their own bodies. But we have to deal with the reality of life today.”
