Key congressional budget negotiators reached agreement Tuesday evening on a two-year plan to restore about $63 billion in automatic spending cuts.  Sen. Bernie Sanders is a member of the special Senate and House budget committee, which still must go along with the deal before the full House and Senate consider the legislation. Interviewed by Chris Hayes on MSNBC not long after the agreement was outlined, Sanders assessed the pros – no cuts in Social Security or Medicare, Saturday mail survives – and the cons – corporations keep their tax loopholes, no jobs program, no extension of expiring benefits for the long-term unemployed.
