Senate to Vote on Disastrous Republican Budget

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday urged the Senate to reject a Republican budget that would throw 27 million Americans off health insurance, slash $5 trillion over the coming decade from programs that help working families, cut taxes on the superrich and raise them on working families with kids, and boost Pentagon spending by $38 billion next year. The House approved the non-binding blueprint last week.  The ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, Sanders laid out the budget’s ugly details in a Senate floor speech on Tuesday, calling it "an absolute disaster for the working families of this country."
