For a very long time, American exceptionalism has meant being the only major country not to guarantee a single day of paid family and medical leave. I believe it's time we change our national priorities and guarantee paid leave to our people. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
The vast majority of the American people want us to: - substantially lower prescription drug costs - expand Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing - expand home health care - make child care affordable - lead the world in the fight against climate change Let's get it done. https://t.co/xrNWkLBpxr — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
There's a big disconnect between the corporate media and working people. Across America, people work 50-60 hours a week, can't afford child care, have no health care, and they turn on the TV and the media says 'everything is great!' because corporations are making record profits. https://t.co/O7JBijh3cU — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Look, the Republican Party has already been bought and paid for — they are not going to do anything to help working people. We know this. But I hope very much and I expect that the Democratic caucus will stand firm and will fight for the working class of this country. https://t.co/yoCTMC3LPI — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Now is the time — FINALLY — for Congress to have the guts to stand up for the working families and finally have the courage to take on the big money interests and wealthy campaign contributors who have so much power over the economic and political life of our country. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Covid-19 has now killed more than 700,000 people in the United States – a shocking death toll. Please get vaccinated. It will save your life. Do it for your loved ones and your neighbors. We can beat this pandemic, but we can only do it together. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
What if — and stick with me for a minute, because this is a pretty far out concept to some of my Republican colleagues in Washington — what if we built a government that delivered for working class people, and not just corporations and the billionaire class? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Republicans just L-O-V-E-D reconciliation when it was used to give some $2 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires — that was fine! But now that we want to use reconciliation to address the long-neglected needs of working people, SUDDENLY, the sky is falling! Give me a break. https://t.co/8Q2NlqqHMb — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Let me let you all in on a little secret. You ready? The federal government is capable of standing up to powerful special interests and fighting for the needs of working class people. The billionaire class does not want it to happen. TOO BAD. We're going to get it done. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Let me be as clear as I can be. The budget reconciliation bill is PAID FOR. How will that happen? We will finally end the days of tax loopholes and evasions by the billionaire class of this country. Yes, they will finally pay their fair share of taxes. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
What 95% of the Democratic caucus wants and more importantly, what the American people want, is TWO pieces of legislation which yes, will not only rebuild our physical infrastructure, but will finally invest in the long-neglected needs of our country's working class. Let's do it. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Now is the time, finally, for Congress to stand up for working families and have the courage to take on the big money interests and wealthy campaign contributors who have so much power over the economic and political life of our country. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
When the planet gets hotter, with unprecedented forest fires, drought, floods, extreme weather, and acidification of the oceans, when scientists tell us that we only have a few years to avoid irreparable harm to our planet, should we really continue to ignore this global crisis? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Should we continue to have 600,000 Americans remain homeless, or should we finally begin building the millions of units of low income and affordable housing that we need? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Should we, as an aging society, force older and disabled Americans into expensive nursing home care or should we expand home health care and allow them the opportunity to stay in their own homes? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Should we continue being the only major country on earth not to guarantee paid family and medical leave? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Should we continue a situation where many millions of seniors are unable to afford to go to a dentist to get treatment for their rotting teeth, or buy the hearing aids and eye glasses they need — or should we expand Medicare to cover those basic health care needs? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Should we continue allowing the pharmaceutical industry to charge us, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Should we deny low and moderate income young people the opportunity to get the higher education and job skills they need by making community colleges tuition-free? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Should we continue to ignore the dysfunctionality of our child care system which forces millions of working families to spend 20-30% of their limited incomes on childcare and keeps over a million women out of the workforce? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Should we end the $300 direct payments to working class parents which have cut childhood poverty in our country by half? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
For whatever reason, there are pundits out there who say we should compromise even more and cut back on addressing the long-neglected problems facing working families as well as climate change. REALLY? Please tell me where we should cut. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
No infrastructure bill should pass without a $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. That is the agreement that was made & that is the agreement that must be kept. Physical infrastructure is important, but the needs of working families & combatting climate change is more important. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Aging in America ought to mean aging with dignity. And right now, aging with dignity is very, very difficult for far too many of our elderly people. Let us realize the original goal and vision of Medicare and expand it to include dental, vision, and hearing care. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
18 million people in this country have reported being unable to fill a prescription because they couldn't afford the cost. Please do not tell me we do not need to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry and dramatically lower the cost of prescription drugs. https://t.co/1ZappyWHPe — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
According to recent polls: - 84% of voters want to expand Medicare to include dental, vision, & hearing - 73% want Medicare to negotiate RX drug costs - 68% want the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes It just so happens that good policy is good politics. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
The ruling class in this country is very, very religious. Their religion is greed. And they are prepared to destroy the planet to make a few more dollars. The good news is this: if we stand together in solidarity around a progressive agenda for working people, we can win. https://t.co/0nl4R7lTc2 — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
If we were to judge a nation simply by how many millionaires and billionaires it's got, America would be number one — no question — but a great nation is judged by how well it treats its weakest and most vulnerable. We must fight to become a nation of compassion and solidarity. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Under our reconciliation bill, seniors would pay lower prices for prescriptions while receiving hearing, vision and dental care, AND we lower prescription drug costs for all Americans. It's insane that we have to fight for these obvious steps. But here we are. And fight we must. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
The Republican Party, who added $7.8 TRILLION to the national debt under President Trump, wants you all to believe they are very, VERY serious about the national debt now that we are going to be taxing the wealthy to help the working class of this country. — PolitiTweet.org
