Bernie: The Inflation Reduction Act is a scam!
Also Bernie: (votes for the Act)

"People with nothing left to lose are a dangerous force" Terrible policy after another coming from this administration is hurting us.

College education is no longer a plus in this country….

[philzillak]

You are one of them Bernie, you have proved it time and again.

[jds]

You know it’s bad when Sanders is against spending.

[richjacobs]

You know why people disapprove of you and Congress is because you're not doing what the people want Bernie

[oljimeagle]

I almost agreed with him until I realized he's saying they aren't spending enough.. We are in an ongoing inflationary crisis.. This does nothing but make it worse, and further exacerbate the supply side problems that are harming Americans.

[LaMaiStyle]

Maybe he should of said something and done something after DNC cheated twice

[debbiehernandez]

This is the first time that I agree with Bernie. We need to clean house, from the top down. That includes the FBI and DOJ

"People with nothing left to lose are a dangerous force"

You know Bernie, you had me there for a moment, then you spoke of “January 6th “ and you started losing me. I guess even a broke analog clock is right twice a day.

[elisaseverns]

The dems screwed him out of the primary candidacy twice. I’m shocked he still supports them. Plus he voted for this act!!

[rebg]

Wow...you know it is bad when the corrupt says they are corrupt. And to set the record straight, January 6th was not violent, but the summer of 2020 was.

Over 100, 000 new government employees will be hired and will be eligible for pension plans. (this includes the 87, 000 IRS agents). That's a massive amount of money coming out of the taxpayers pockets to pay for everything. Remember, pension plans always keep growing. I wonder what the annual salary will be for all those IRS agents??

The two party system can indeed be frustrating, but anyone who thinks that a multi-party system would be better, needs to take a good look at all the other Western nations to see just how wrong they are.
Bureaucrats LOVE multi-party systems, because they end up being the ones running everything, while everyone else bickers endlessly.

[thebuff]

Politicians don't care what people think..its about power

[ianalan]

Our system is dominated by the rich and powerful. Of which you are one Bernie.

[mwallm]

A lot of wealthy people in the senate and house. Bernie owns 3 houses and has a big bank account. Guess he can relate to the struggles most of us are going through?.

[Dunks-]

True, politicians work for the unions and big corps that provide the big funding donations.
