Bernie Buzz

From Senator Sanders' Bernie Buzz today:

Is this what you voted for? Or if you didn't vote, you really think this is the same thing you'd get from progressives? Have you seen their budget? Not at all like the below.

"The Senate on Friday passed a budget that envisions more than $5 trillion in cuts over the coming decade by slashing health care and other benefits for working families and the middle class while leaving tax breaks in place for the wealthiest Americans and multi-national corporations. Twenty-seven million Americans would lose health insurance under the Republican plan as they eliminate the Affordable Care Act and make huge cuts to Medicaid. 'What they are proposing is major cuts in programs for some of the most vulnerable people in this country — the elderly, children, sick and low-income people,' said Bernie, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee. 'At the same time they want to give significant tax breaks to the wealthy and the large corporations.' During the week-long debate Republicans rejected proposals to create millions of new jobs, raise the minimum wage, help students afford college, and protect seniors on Social Security and Medicare."
