by: Senator Bernie Sanders, The Huffington Post
Senator Bernie
Sanders, The Huffington Post: "When the Senate reconvenes on November 17th, I
intend to fight for an economic recovery program that is significant enough in
size and scope to respond to the major economic crisis this country now faces.
If we can commit more than $1 trillion to rescue bankers and insurance companies
from their reckless and irresponsible behavior, we certainly should be investing
in millions of good-paying jobs that rebuild our nation and improve its economy.
In my view, the size of this economic recovery plan should be, at a minimum,
$300 billion."

The Democratic Socialists of America and Wal-Mart
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched,
every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from
those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not
clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone.
It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its
scientists, the hopes of its children."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
April 16, 1953
"You can't talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can't talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You're really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry.... Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong... with capitalism.... There must be a better distribution of wealth and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism".
Martin Luther King Jr.
Frogmore, S.C. November 14, 1966. Speech in front of his staff.
