One of the reasons why Senator Bernie Sanders saw a revival in his popularity during the second government Trump is that he is direct and does not pull his punches.
Senator Sanders had a lot to say about the bill that the Senate is currently debating:
Trump’s so -called ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Now on the floor of the Senate is the most dangerous piece of legislation in the modern history of our country. It is a gift to the billionaire class and causes enormous pain for working families.
If you are worried about health care, this bill will declare more than 16 million people from the health insurance they have and would destroy rural hospitals, health centers for the community and nursing homes by medicaid and the affordable care act with more than $ 1.1 trillion.
If you are worried about the existential threat of climate change, this bill decimates our investments in energy -efficiency and renewable energy, while offering billions in corporate welfare to large oil and makes it easier to drill for oil on public countries.
If you are worried about children, this bill destroys the food aid for millions of hungry children at a time when we have the highest youth poverty rate of almost every major nation on earth.
If you are worried about education, this bill will make it much more difficult for working class children to receive higher education they need to succeed in the workforce by reducing education by around $ 350 billion.
If you are worried about our involvement in endless wars and wasteful expenditure for large defense contractors, this bill offers the inflated Pentagon another $ 150 billion-one increase in military expenses by 15%.
If you are worried about the national debt of $ 37 trillion, this account increases the federal budget deficits by almost $ 4 trillion.
Meanwhile, in a time of unprecedented wealth and income inequality, this bill offers a tax benefits of $ 975 billion for the top 1% and more than $ 900 billion for large companies throwing employees on the street and storing their money in offshore tax paradises such as the Cayman Islands.
This account is an absolute disaster.
Every member of the house or the senate who votes for it must be defeated in the next elections.
Quite a few of the Republicans who support this legislation do this because they only think about what standing up against Trump could cost them.
Bernie Sanders is right. The members of the congress who support this bill for fear must be made to understand that the Sussen Trump will also come up with a heavy costs.
The Republicans who represent voting and swing states and districts on this bill must be made to pay with their jobs if they place Trump for the well -being of the country.
Everyone who votes for this bill must be willing to lose his job in November.
