Bernie Sanders actually said...

"Half of all seniors are unable to afford even basic living expenses or are living right on the edge."

"One of the most effective programs ever designed to address the needs of vulnerable seniors is the Older Americans Act."

"We understand--and this is terribly important as well in this debate--real funding, counting inflation and counting population growth, is significantly less than it was in the 1990s."

"In my view, if a nation is to be judged by how it cares for the weakest, the most vulnerable people amongst us, the United States would not get particularly high marks."
