This is the result of neoliberal barbarism which Bernie recognizes and says must stop. A grandfather who was a carpenter supported a family of 5 in a basic home and a decent lifestyle. Same for the parents generation. What we're experiencing now is abnormal by any standards and the result is stress, sickness and decline. Hell of a way to run a country, into the ground.

K & R. Go Bernie!
