According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, more than 8.1 million extremely low-income households, including more than 10,500 in Vermont, spend more than half of their income on rent and utilities. “When you spend half of your money on rent, that leaves very little for other necessities such as food and medicine,” Sanders said.

Excerpt:
Sanders took the stage minutes after Attorney General William Barr released a summary of Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“I have something in my email box, I’ll read it right after this,” Sanders said. “I know it is a summary of the report. Well, I don’t want a summary of the report. I want the whole damn report because nobody, especially this president, is above the law.”
That remark drew cheers and applause, as did his other digs at President Trump, “the most dangerous, dishonest president in American history,” Sanders said.
Sanders’ 70-minute speech Sunday included humor, some of it self-deprecating.
He may not be a math genius, he said in conclusion. “But this I know: They are the 1 percent. We are 99 percent. If we stand together, we can create a country that will be the envy of the world.”
