Calcification galore and the enormity of the situation needs to be perhaps graphically shared. Under the city of albany, the capital of new york, which is part of the 20th Congressional District i represent, happens to lie 317 miles of pipe. Drinking water infrastructure. You know, you could travel from albany, new york, to baltimore, maryland, thats the sort of linear responsibility associated with that system. Should we anticipate rightfully, that there may be some bumps along the road of that 317 mile stretch in any given year . Absolutely. Lets think of it in those sorts of terms, so that we can have a better understanding and awareness of an aged infrastructure, which by the way is also accompanied by a discontinued inventory in many cases. Valves that are required are no longer manufactured. And so we have to come up with some innovative response when there is a break. And while weve talked a lot about capital improvements, capital infrastructure, physical infrastructure thats re
We talk about a broken criminal Justice System, a criminal Justice System in which we have more people in jail than any other country on earth, largely black and latino. And native senator sanders and native americans. [applause] senator sanders let me tell you briefly a story, the kind of encapsulates everything we talk about in this campaign. What a rigged economy and corrupt Campaign Finance system and a broken criminal Justice System is about. Some may have read in the last few weeks large wall street Financial Institutions like Goldman Sachs have reached a settlement with United States government. In the case of Goldman Sachs, it was for 5 billion. Other banks have reached larger settlements with the government. Obviously the reason they are , reaching these settlements is because they were selling subprime mortgage packages to investors and the American People that were worthless. They reached a 5 billion agreement with the u. S. Government. To a significant degree the Business M

Maya macguineas it has a very set calendar. Step number one, the president put out a budget in february. Host is that by law . Maya macguineas it is.

Neil you know, its interesting, trish, you and i chatted about this outside where its a lot colder, i might point out. Trish didnt seem to mind. I did. [laughter] all of a sudden you can have two very different candidates from two very different political viewpoints who are galvanizing people, right . Or getting their attention, certainly to explain the crowds, similar crowds we s
