It is time for Congress to save the Postal Service, not dismantle it. ”

When I ran for the Senate the first time, I ran against the wealthiest guy in the state of Vermont. He spent a lot on advertising - very ugly stuff. He kept attacking me as a liberal. He didn't use the word 'socialist' at all because everybody in the state knows that I am that. ”

Difficult times often bring out the best in people. ”

Let's be honest, dental care in America is extremely expensive, period. ”

At the current $5.15 an hour, the federal minimum wage has become a poverty wage. A full-time worker with one child lives below the official poverty line. ”

It is time we had democratic socialism for working families, not just Wall Street billionaires. ”
