We must not balance the budget on poor, elderly
On Monday, Sen. Sanders published a column in Politico outlining his stance in the ongoing budget negotiations. “In my view, if the Republicans continue to play an obstructionist role, the president should get out of the Oval Office and travel the country,” wrote Sanders. “If he does that, I believe that he will find that there is no state in the country, including those that are very red, where people believe that it makes sense to continue giving huge tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires while cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. I have a strong feeling that when large numbers of constituents all across this country start calling and emailing their senators and members of Congress about this issue, the American people will win this fight.”
