In this video from today’s Senate hearing, a passionate Bernie
Sanders unloads both barrels on the immoral Republican budget, listing
the many ways that it does “exactly the opposite” of what the American
people think needs to be done to rebuild the American middle class.
Senator Sanders breaks down the proposed Republican budget and
details each area of policy where the cavalier funding-slashing that the
Republicans are so fond of only piles on to the burdens that the
average American must carry. From healthcare to student loans to food
assistance to the drive to abolish the estate tax, the cutting of tax
credits for working families, the financial impact on the middle class
is astonishing and the benefits to the billionaire class even more so.
It really is difficult to understand why it’s so hard for us to make
progress, especially in the most basic areas of human need: “The least
we can do as a nation, in a nation that has more income and wealth
inequality than any other major country, a nation in which the
wealthiest people are becoming phenomenally richer, while we have forty
million people living in poverty, the least we can do is make sure
nobody goes hungry.”
