11/16 News Roundup – Bernie Blasts GOP Tax Plan As A ‘Terrible Proposal’, Kaine Sides With Sanders On Superdelegates & More

The Progressive Wing Posted on November 16, 2017 by LieparDestinNovember 16, 2017

Bernie Sanders Rips GOP Tax Plan: ‘Terrible Proposal’

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday ripped the Republican tax-reform plan as a “terrible proposal” being “paid for by the billionaire class who control the political process.”

“It’s a bad idea,” Sanders, the Vermont Independent and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, told Anderson Cooper on CNN.

It’s going to throw 13 million Americans off the health insurance they currently have, including about six million people on Medicaid.

“It’s going to raise premiums by about 10 percent for ordinary Americans.”

..

Sanders attributed both plans to GOP’s effort to “give huge tax breaks to corporations and make them permanent.

“What this whole business is about is the power that big money has in American politics, as a result of our corrupt campaign-finance system.

“Billionaires and millionaires have brought hundreds of millions of dollars into the political process, supporting Republican candidates — and today is payback time for them.

“Huge tax breaks for the rich, huge tax breaks for multinational corporations,” Sanders said. “Meanwhile, at the end of 10 years, tens of millions of American families in the middle class are going to be paying for more taxes.”

The cost of Tim Kaine just keeps rising. – Terry Mcauliffe, who accidentally let us know how HRC and Bill really will act on the TPP, has promised the Clintons to elect a Democrat in next year’s VA Senate Race that for the Tim Kaine seat that will likely not happen

The Progressive Wing Posted on July 27, 2016 by CA DemocratJuly 27, 2016

The cost of Tim Kaine just keeps rising. Terry Mcauliffe, who accidentally let us know how HRC and Bill really will act on the TPP, has promised the Clintons to elect a Democrat in next year’s VA Senate Race for the Tim Kaine seat This is the same Terry Mcauliffe that spent a VA $60+M record on his election that he barely won. McAuliffe defeated Republican Ken Cuccinelli and Libertarian Robert Sarvis, in the general election, collecting just 47.8% of the vote; Cuccinelli garnered 45.2% and Sarvis received 6.5% He became governor on January 11, 2014. Since he cannot run again under VA law, … Continue reading →

Political Malpractice – Tim Kaine nomination – what a horrible mistake – complete lunacy

The Progressive Wing Posted on July 27, 2016 by CA DemocratJuly 27, 2016

Nominating Tim Kaine is POLITICAL MALPRACTICE. The Tim Kaine nomination is profoundly wrong. Wrong with a likely 50+% chance of being a profoundly horrible mistake for everyone in this county. A mistake that will hurt the 98% of Americans who are not already Millionaires and Billionaires especially hard. The three powerful reasons why no Democratic party US Senator – especially a harder to replace southern Senator – should be proactively taken from their Senate seat in the next 2 years are: 1) US Democratic Party Senators ability to get anything done through Democratic Party Control of the US Senate – Why would anyone trade … Continue reading →

Tim Kaine Calls To Deregulate Banks As He Campaigns To Be Clinton’s VP

The Progressive Wing Posted on July 21, 2016 by grapevinesJuly 21, 2016

Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse HRC has decided corporatist Virginia Senator Tim Kaine should be added too her short list of Veep picks. Her pick is widely viewed in Washington as a sign of her governing intentions. The former SoS has spent weeks attempting to woo progressive Bernie Sanders supporters. Choosing from one of the handful of names on her short list: Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) or Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) would signal that her camp is taking progressive concerns seriously. True Progressives are watching with a skeptical eye, concerned what the signal will be. … Continue reading →
