Bernie Sanders made a simple argument to counter the republican claims that they target waste, fraud and abuses: “What the Republicans are trying to do now is to make massive discounts of Medicaid. Over $ 800 billion. Cups in nutritional programs that feed hungry children. Why are they doing this? Because they want to be able to use these savings to provide more than $ 1 billion of tax alleviation for the richest 1%, for Elon musks and Zuckerbergs and the Bézoses of the world. In my opinion, you are not moving away from children’s food. Health care far from people in difficulty to give tax relief to billionaires. »»
Senator Sanders video:
Later, Kristen Welker of Meet The Press asked Senator Sanders: “Senator, President Trump says that he will not touch Social Security. Elon Musk calls it a Ponzi diagram. Do you agree? “
The Vermont senator replied:
No, I think what Musk, the richest guy in the world, has just said, is completely scandalous.
It is a hell of a Ponzi program while during the last 80 years, Social Security has paid each nickel due to each eligible American program, a Ponzi plan.
