"We can't extend the child tax credit to combat child poverty," said the Vermont senator."But somehow, we can provide a massive amount of corporate welfare to a handful of corporations."Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont blasted the warped priorities of the U.S.
"We have strange priorities here in the Senate," Sanders, the chair of the Senate Budget Committee, said in floor remarks."We can't extend the child tax credit to combat child poverty. We can't deal with the crisis in child care. We can't provide dental care to seniors on Medicare. We can't deal with climate change."
"But somehow," the senator added,"we can provide a massive amount of corporate welfare to a handful of corporations." Sanders' comments came as the Senate began holding votes on dozens of motions related to the COMPETES Act, which is currently in conference committee as the House and Senate reconcile their differences on the legislation before final passage. The motions are aimed at instructing the conferees' work on the bill.
