  • It's a national disgrace that 70 percent of undergraduates leave college with heavy debts that will burden them for decades.

  • 62% of Americans have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts and unlike big banks they don't get to go to Congress for a bailout check.
  • It's alarming that just 62 individuals have the same wealth as 3.6 billion people. That's nearly half of humanity.
  • Bernie Sanders: I annotated a speech by Pope Francis
