1/23 News Roundup – Compromise Or Cave In? Democrats’ Deal To End Shutdown Sows Division, Sanders Explains His Vote & More

The Progressive Wing Posted on January 23, 2018 by LieparDestinJanuary 23, 2018

Sanders Votes No on Three-Week Spending Bill

“The reason I voted against today’s continuing resolution is simple: tens of millions of lives are at stake. We must act NOW, not kick the can down the road.

“We’re talking about the fate of 800,000 Dreamers who have lived here almost all of their lives, but could soon be faced with deportation if we don’t act now. We’re talking about 27 million Americans who will find it harder and harder to get their health care through community health centers because that program has not yet been reauthorized. We ‘re talking about many thousands of people with disabilities who will die because they couldn’t get their claims processed in a timely manner by an underfunded and understaffed Social Security Administration, and veterans who will not get the care they need at the VA because that agency now has 30,000 vacancies. We’re talking about the need to provide adequate disaster relief for the people of Texas, Florida, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico – an island where hundreds of thousands are still without electricity.

“Enough is enough. We cannot continue to run a $4 trillion government on a month to month basis. We need an annual budget. The Republican Party controls the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate and the White House. They are the governing party. They have got to govern, not ignore the major crises facing this country.”
