Arsenal Bolt: Quick updates on the news stories we’re following.
“Bernie Sanders invokes FDR in explaining socialism as ‘foundation of middle class'” – LA Times:
“The next time you hear me attacked as a socialist,” Sanders said, “remember this: I don’t believe government should take over the grocery store down the street or own means of production. But I do believe the middle class and working class of this country who produce the wealth of this country deserve a decent standard of living, and their incomes should go up and not down.”
