What we're also looking at, if we do not transform our energy system, is more international war and conflict as countries fight over limited natural resources, including water and land to grow their crops.

More quotes by Bernie Sanders
Being Jewish and having lost relatives in the Holocaust, I've always been aware of the meaning of prejudice. These are things that have remained with me throughout my political career.
Bernie Sanders
This is what I would ask of the American people, and that is, and the media does not do this terribly often - put things in contact.
Bernie Sanders
It's not in the interest of the corporations who own the networks to actually be educating the American people so that are debating the real issues. It's much better to deflect attention away from issues and get into the story of the day.
Bernie Sanders
In 2013 Citigroup had profits of $6.4 billion in the United States. They paid no federal income tax and, in fact, received a rebate from the IRS of $260 million. That same year J.P. Morgan had $17.2 billion in profits in the U.S. They also paid no federal income tax. Do you think it's time for tax reform?
Bernie Sanders
Fifty years ago, great schools like the University of California and the City University of New York - as well as many state colleges - were tuition free. Today college is unaffordable for many working class families. For the sake of our economy and millions of Americans, we must make higher education more affordable.
Bernie Sanders
For many, the American Dream has become a nightmare.
Bernie Sanders
If you take donations from Wall Street, you can't be independent.
Bernie Sanders
I think if we're looking at lasting peace in the Middle East, the United States has got to respect the needs of the Palestinian people. They cannot be pushed aside.
Bernie Sanders
Wall Street is greedy, reckless and they operate illegally. That's fine. But what do you do?
Bernie Sanders
Setting aside labels, I am somebody who believes that government in a democratic society should be representing the needs of the vast majority of the people who are middle-class and working families.
Bernie Sanders
Real freedom must include economic security.
Bernie Sanders
During the debate over NAFTA President Clinton said, 'I believe that NAFTA will create a million jobs in the first five years of its impact.' WRONG. According to the Economic Policy Institute, NAFTA has led to the loss of more than 680,000 U.S. jobs. I voted against NAFTA and other bad trade agreements and am fighting to stop the TPP.
Bernie Sanders
If you look at the newspapers here - the Washington papers - most of the discussion deals with campaign gossip.
Bernie Sanders
Here's what income and wealth inequality is about. Last year, the top 25 hedge fund managers made more than 24 billion, enough to pay the salaries of 425,000 public school teachers. This level of inequality is neither moral or sustainable
Bernie Sanders
It's better to show up than to give up.
Bernie Sanders
Student debt is crushing the lives of millions of Americans. How does it happen that we can get a home mortgage or purchase a car with interest rates half of that being paid for student loans? We must make higher education affordable for all. We must substantially lower interest rates on student loans. This must be a national priority.
Bernie Sanders
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.
Bernie Sanders
We need an energy revolution by breaking our dependence on fossil fuels, polluting fuels... I am very, very confident our small state will lead this. We will be noticed by the country and the world.
Bernie Sanders
It costs a hell of a lot more money to put somebody in jail than send them to the University of Virginia.
Bernie Sanders
I happen to believe that one of the great crises facing the planet is climate change. Donald Trump happens not to think that climate change is real. Hillary Clinton takes it seriously.
