TAKE THE POLL: Do you think it's gotten easier or harder to afford college?
 

 
 
 









 

With college commencement season underway, Bernie was flanked at a news 
conference on Monday by students and graduates who are deep in debt. At a time 
when the amount of outstanding college loans has surpassed credit card debt, 
Bernie is fighting to lower interest rates on student loans like the $370,000 
owed by a family doctor at a community health center in Burlington, Vt. He is 
proposing legislation to let high school juniors and seniors take college 
courses to cut costs. And, as a member of the Senate education committee, he is 
working on broad legislation to make U.S. tuition competitive with other 
countries.

INCOME INEQUALITY WORRIES FED CHIEF
 

 

 
There is a “worrisome” trend toward growing income and wealth inequality in 
America, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen told Bernie at her first 
congressional hearing. Bernie asked her a very simple question. “Are we still a 
capitalist democracy or have we gone over into an oligarchic form of society in 
which incredible economic and political power now rests with the billionaire 
class?”

GLOBAL WARMING GETTING WORSE
 

 

 
A National Climate Assessment report found global warming is accelerating. Our 
refusal to deal with the crisis, Bernie said, “could have catastrophic 
consequences.” A member of the Senate energy and environment committees, 
Sanders has proposed a bill to put a fee on greenhouse gas emissions. His bill 
is cosponsored by Sen. Barbara Boxer, the Senate environment committee chairman.

TOPS ON TWITTER
 

 

 
Time magazine has put Bernie on its annual list of the “most influential 
Twitter feeds.” Said Time, “He’s a loud conscience for liberal principles. He 
highlights poverty statistics, tweaks his colleagues for voting against 
veterans’ benefits and slams the industrialist Koch brothers for their 
political spending. At a time when political and economic populism has grown in 
fits and starts, Sanders is a voice consistently railing against inequality.”
