Sanders Calls for 'Political Revolution'

“Is Finland crazy? I want somebody to comment on that.”

Bernie Sanders was speaking Wednesday morning in a basement classroom at Johns Hopkins University’s Washington campus. The Vermont senator and Democratic presidential candidate had been asking the group of 50 or so to think about what sort of country they wanted to live in. During a short Q&A, a Finnish graduate student named Hans spoke up to ask about student loan debt. After some prodding by the senator, Hans revealed that not only did he pay no tuition for his studies but he was actually being paid by the government for living expenses. That sounded like the kind of country Sanders wanted to live in.
