More From Bernie Sanders

I'm even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. like you can major in the mating habits of the australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... okay, get a journalism major. okay, education major, journalism major. right. philosophy major, right. archeology major. i don't know, whatever it is. major in ballroom dance, of course. it doesn't replace work. how about a major in film studies? how about a major in black studies? how about a major in women studies? how about a major in home ec? oops, sorry! no such thing.

The united states has got to join the rest of the industrialized world in making sure that working families of the middle class have benefits that they absolutely need. we are the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care to all people as a right. we are the only major country on earth that does not provide paid family and medical leave. there are many countries around the world which make sure that public colleges and universities are tuition-free. in our country, it's becoming increasingly difficult to afford to go to college.

It is taken for granted that workers should receive their pay partly in kind, in the form of medical care provided by the employer. how come? why single out medical care? surely food is no less essential to life than medical care. why is it not at least as logical for workers to be required to buy their food at the company store as to be required to buy their medical care at the company store?
Taken Care Pay
We're the only developed country in the world that doesn't have paid maternity leave. paternity leave is just as important. paid family medical leave so that you can take care of a parent, a child, a grandparent, whatever you need to do. i think we're shortsighted when we don't invest in our employees as companies, and as an economy, because we invest in them and they invest back in us.
Country Children Thinking
You see we're a country that talks about family values. but we haven't passed anything to help family values since the family and medical leave act. and the family and medical leave act was one of the first things i voted on when i came to congress. it was very thrilling to me, because when my first child was born, i was terrified of being fired. when my second child was born, i was a member of the city council, and in some ways it was easier to respond to 250 constituents than it was to respond to one employer.

Hillary clinton and i have worked together on a higher education proposal which will guarantee free tuition in public colleges and universities for every family in this country making $125,000 a year or less. we're going to fight for paid family and medical leave. those are the issues that the american people want to hear discussed, and i'm going to go around the country discussing them and making sure that hillary clinton is elected president.

Country Differences Making A Difference
Israel has military capabilities including nuclear weapons, far surpassing any other power in the middle east, but it's a small country. the rest of the middle eastern peoples are muslim and israelis are not, so it is hardly in any position to become the leading power.

The state of our educational system is a disgrace to our country. we have an elementary and secondary school system in which close to half of the youngsters never graduate properly. it's a disgrace that there is more illiteracy today than there was 100 years ago.
