Bernie Sanders said "I have no argument with my friend that it is important for us to know the costs of the legislation we are proposing, no argument about that. But I think my friends would also not deny that some legislation is cost effective. If one could make the case that by promoting x policy that cost us $1 million we save $10 million in increased health care costs, I am sure all three of the gentlemen would be in agreement that was a good piece of legislation." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
