“President Trump and his Republican colleagues are now pushing the most destructive and unfair budget and tax proposal in the modern history of our country. A budget that would do incalculable harm to tens of millions of working families, to our children, to the sick, to the elderly, and to the poor,” said U.S. Senate Budget Committee Ranking Member Bernie Sanders (I-VT). “At a time when the middle-class is shrinking, and over 40 million Americans are living in poverty, we need a budget that reflects the needs of working families of the middle-class, and not just the wealthiest people in our country, nor the largest campaign contributors. Our job now is to stand up, fight back, and to defeat this horrendous budget.” -Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT)

1. Recommended. A very progressive politician with much of value to say.

Even if he lacks that all important initial behind his name.

2. How?

From what I read on DU, Sen Sanders is a pox on the Democratic party and is the cause for all of it's ills not caused by Susan Sarandon.
Maybe the party's leadership isn't aware of his deleterious effects on the party? Or is he going rogue and representing the party in this statement on his own and without party leadership knowledge? Interesting.

4. Dont care

In our house, we stopped caring what Democrats do or don't do, or who leads who.

5. That really says it all, doesn't it? If only we could get the entire Party to say the EXACT SAME

WORDS, just the Republicans and their media puppets stay "on message."

6. Thank you, Sen. Sanders.

He's always in there fighting the good fight.

He would have made a great president.

7. There will not be many more election cycles, and chances to . .

address our growing levels of income and wealth inequality
with a fair and progressive system of taxation.

Before our republic is transformed into a full-blown oligarchy . .

Louis D. Brandeis said it well. "We can have democracy in this country,
or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."

As Bernie says, we have to fight this monstrosity of a tax bill with eveything in our power.
