Sen. Bernie Sanders: Gang of Six budget proposal ‘a disaster’
2011-07-21 | Filed Under SteveG's Posts |
In the video above, Bernie Sanders does not appear until 8 minutes and 20 seconds into this 14 minute video, but I thought it was worth it to give you the whole thing. You can skip ahead if you like.
It is amazing to me that the President can tout a tax increase that cuts the maximum tax rate for the wealthy. To rebalance the wealth distribution in a way that will lead to a self-sustaining jobs recovery, the top rate needs to go up not down.
Fortunately, the time constraints will not allow us to pass this ridiculous bargain
. Once we get the debt ceiling raised, maybe we get get the President off his compromise
and start talking serious policy debate.
