Bernie Sanders on the US debt debacle.
As the US Congress debates whether to accept a plan to cut $2.8trillion in spending over 10 years, and raise not one cent in taxes on the rich, let’s hear from the one* decent man in the Senate.
* this may be a slight exaggeration – Franken’s not bad – but it’s sadly not far off the truth.
Adam – he is indeed, though he isn’t a Democrat, strickly speaking. He does caucus with them, but he is an independent democratic socialist. He basically has the same politics as his brother, Larry, who is a Green councillor here in Oxford.
Both are heros.
Clear, sensible and relatively concise – if you saw more Democrats act like this the USA wouldn’t be the mess it is today.
