Bernie hits Hillary for not supporting Single-Payer Healthcare AND Sen. Gillibrand's FMLA Bill.

Bernie Sanders continued to step up his policy differences between he and Hillary Clinton, taking Clinton to task for not supporting two plans that would help middle-class families in the United States.

In a statement, Sen. Sanders said:

I am disappointed that Secretary Clinton does not think we should join every other major country in guaranteeing health care through a cost-effective, Medicare-for-all, single-payer system that would save the average family about $5,000 a year.

Further, I am surprised that Secretary Clinton now opposes Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s Family and Medical Leave Act which is supported by 19 other Senate Democrats and more than 100 House Democrats

.

The middle class is disappearing and we need bold action to rebuild it.

The destruction of the middle-class should be one of the central topics in ANY campaign in 2015. Hillary’s proposals, thus far, have been, as Bernie’s aide said, “Republican-Lite”.

soft pedaling issues isn't going to work anymore.

The left needs to get TOUGH on those who would continue to promote these neo-liberal policies.

Hit them HARD. No more Mr. Nice Guy with people have NO compunction about being nasty.

Fight fire with fire. We sure get nowhere by being NICE. Sick of the garbage and of the Left expected to be 'polite'.
