Bernie Sanders Warns Trump’s Budget Bill Is a “Death Sentence”
Senator Bernie Sanders thinks that Trump’s budgetary bill is “the most dangerous legislation in modern history in our country”.
Sunday evening, the most recognizable socialist in the country took the time to offer a scathing reprimand of the most important legislation of the president to date, highlighting the obvious bias of the bill towards the rich to the detriment of the working class.
“If you are in the higher 1%, you and the class that you represent will receive a tax relief of $ 975 billion – $ 975 billion in tax relief at a time when the richest people in this country have never had it so well,” said Sanders. “If you are among the two tenths the richest of 1% – not speaking of 1% speaking of the two highest tenths of 1% – you can pay zero taxes on your inheritance of 30 million dollars. So, all of you, people who will wait for a percentage to an approximate percentage of $ 211 billion in an approximately $ 211 billion percentage. Congratulations, you hit the jackpot.
Sanders then moved to the massive company in the Trump bill.
“If you are a large company, and you want to throw workers in the street and replace them with artificial intelligence, or perhaps you want to transfer your profits to the Cayman Islands or other tax havens: you will get a tax relief of $ 918 billion.
The Vermont senator was the most exasperated by the attacks on the bill against Medicaid.
“If you are concerned about health care, which I suspect that everyone around the world is, this bill throws more than 16 million people outside the health insurance that they, according to the Congressional Budget Office, by reducing Medicaid and the affordable care law of more than 1.1 Billion of dollars,” said Sanders. “In other words, the higher 1% [is] Obtain a tax relief of $ 975 billion, and this happens directly by throwing 16 million people from the health insurance they have.
“More than 50,000 Americans will die unnecessarily each year,” warned Sanders. “Fifty thousand Americans will die unnecessarily in order to give tax reductions to the billionaires who do not need it. In other words, this bill is literally a death sentence for low -income and working class. ”
Even two Republican senators have spoken against the bill on the grounds that it will harm their own voters and can possibly put the GOP with the voters in 2026 and 2028.
“Very well, when I should say to six hundred and sixty-three thousand people in two years or three years, when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them from Medicaid because the funding is no longer there, guys?” Senator Thom Tillis said On Sunday, shortly after announcing his retirement. “The inhabitants of the White House advise the president … do not tell him that the effect of this bill is to break a promise.”
While Trump puts on his false-populist act and rented for small gifts like his non-tax policy on advice, it is obvious that this bill is tailor-made for people like him: those who are incredibly rich and have an interest acquired to protect this wealth, even to the detriment of health care for those who need.
“In the end, this legislation is the most important attack on the health care needs of the American people in the history of our country,” said Sanders.
