Full 30 minute Speech: 'Now Is That Moment': Bernie Sanders Argues For 'Fundamental Review' Of American Priorities...against new Defense spending bill

[basquebromance]

the defense bill is 75 billion dollars more than Trump's last bill and 25 billion more than what Biden requested. MY GOD, THAT'S MONSTROUS!

 

[basquebromance]

I applaud Senators Markey & Sanders for an amendment to trim $25 billion off of the $768 Billion dollar giveaway. Why have we spent $3 Trillion the last 4 years on a bloated pentagon, & not one moderate has asked for offsets?

Bernie is just looking for another handout. Ignore him.

 

[Manonthestreet]

When can we get around to all the social handouts?

 

[basquebromance]

Handout? HANDOUT?

it's called giving people SEED MONEY so they can then become MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE all by themselves, my friends

 

[pknopp]

How about cutting it in half?

The military is going to provide sex change surgeries. They don't come cheap.

Bernie would be more comfortable in Lenin's administration at the Kremlin after the Russian revolution.

On 9-10-01, Defense Sec. Donald Rumsfeld: “Our financial systems are decades old...we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions. We cannot share information from floor to floor...because it's stored on dozens of technological systems that are inaccessible or incompatible.”

that's the telling quote Bernie gave in the speech

For those who don't have the time to listen to the half hour speech, the gist of it is that Sanders is putting forth an amendment to reduce the defense bill by $25 billion, back to what President Biden requested.
