Sen. Sanders of Vermont, Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions, is the longest-serving independent in congressional history.

Last year, while the billionaire class became much richer as the working class struggled to survive, Trump gave a $1 trillion tax break to the 1% and paid for it by throwing 15 million Americans off the health care they desperately need. This year, while Trump and Netanyahu started a war in Iran, the president wants to increase military spending by $500 billion and pay for that war by reducing funding for childcare, health care, affordable housing and other domestic needs. This is what Trump’s agenda is all about: making himself and his fellow Oligarchs even richer, while decimating programs that working families, the elderly and the children rely on. That is an obscene set of priorities. Congress must reject this proposal and pass a budget that works for all of us, not just the 1%.
How many times can we “obliterate “ Iran’s nuclear capabilities? How many years will Iran be “weeks away” from attacking the U.S.? How many wars can Netanyahu get us into? How many centuries will countries continue fighting religious wars? How many trillions must be spent to feed the military industrial complex? How many innocent men, women and children must be killed and displaced from their homes? END THIS WAR NOW
