Bill Bradley's truth: Savings, taxes must rise

Former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley was known for big plays during his time with the NBA's New York Knicks in the '60s and '70s.

Now, the 2000 presidential candidate is on the rubber chicken circuit telling his audience both savings and taxes need to go up. He spoke Jan. 18 at Town Hall 2010 in Sarasota benefitting the Ringling College Library Association.

After railing against the “red-blue divide” and the “vitriol” in American politics,” Bradley says two things need to happen: “Number one — put country ahead of party.
Number two — tell people the truth.”
