'To summarize: the rich get much richer, and the Republicans think they need more help.  The middle class and working families of this country become poorer, and the Republicans think we need to cut programs they desperately need.'

At a Senate Budget Committee hearing on Wednesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) blasted as large a hole in the newly-released Republican budget as he could muster, declaring it an attack on low- and middle-income Americans, a fiesta of deregulation and subsidies for Wall Street and Big Business, and a plan to further enrich the nation's wealthiest and most powerful while ignoring the perils of climate change and the interwoven crises of inequality, personal debt, and unemployment that is ravaging the health of the economy and destroying the dreams and prosperity of millions.
"At a time of massive wealth and income inequality, the Republicans apparently believe that the richest people in America need to be made even richer," said Sanders, ranking member of the committe. "It is apparently not good enough that 99 percent of all new income today is going to the top 1 percent.  That’s apparently not enough."
