For starters , he proposes completely nationalizing our health care system and putting private health insurance and drug companies “ out of business . ” He also wants to break up “ big banks ” and control the energy industry , while providing “ free ” college tuition , a “ living wage ” and guaranteed homeownership and jobs through massive public works projects .
" Now we must learn from the troubling revelations Mr Snowden brought to light . Our intelligence and law enforcement agencies must be given the tools they need to protect us , but that can be done in a way that does not sacrifice our rights , " Sanders wrote . " While Mr Snowden played an important role in educating the American people , there is no debate that he also violated an oathcontact.commitmentpromiseexpressintent.naand committed a crime , " Sanders added .
