Candidate senator Bernie Sanders spoke with supporters at the National Voter cycle museum in iowa. Senator sanders opened the event by addressing the killing of the iranian general are u. S. Forces. By u. S. Forces. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome senator Bernie Sanders. [cheering and applause] sen. Sanders thank you all for coming out. Today, i want to talk about some of the very important issues facing our country. But before i get to some of them, i want to take a moment to address the events in iraq and the escalating crisis in the middle east. Yesterday, President Trump ordered the assassination of a top iranian general. In iraq along with the leader of an iraqi militia. This is a dangerous escalation that brings us closer to another disastrous war in the middle east. Which could cost countless lives and trillions more dollars and lead to even more deaths, more conflict, more displacement in that already highly volatile region of the world. When i voted against the war in ira
Before going through the amendments, i want to thanks my cosponsor, supervisor ronen and the advocates for sending and continuing to send hundreds of letters of support. I want to thank neighbor emerging association, parent voices and Richmond Senior center. And dozens of other people that came and testified in support of this legislation two weeks ago.

I think there are more Affordable Solutions than making the sewer up to a hundredyear capacity that would affect the rate payers dramatically. If you are talking about a three or 400 million upgrade for one system to even get it to a 25year storm versus doing raising the foundations or the driveways or 50 or 60 homes, you are talking about saving millions and millions of dollars. So, maybe a 20 million project for 50 or 60 homes versus 400 million. That is a lot of savings but it is real. I think we need to move quicker.

It is right before christmas. They have last minute shopping to do but one thing they dont plane to do is buy Health Insurance. The Obama Administration wants badly for young people to enroll. They are not convinced. What i know about obamacare is what ive seen on saturday night life. I did not because i think health care should be free. The Congressional Budget Office says it would like to see 7 Million People signed up by spring. The Administration Says it would like a third of them to be Young Healthy americans. Its about the distribution. In order for the system to work enough Young Healthy americans must enroll to pay for the Health Care Costs accrued by older americans.
