Addressing more than 2,300 people in West Lafayette, Indiana Friday night, Sen. Bernie Sanders made the case for the $3.5 trillion spending plan to invest heavily in human infrastructure, explaining how the proposed budget currently being written by Senate and House committees following passage in the House is "the most consequential legislation for working people since the New Deal."
"When more than 2,300 people come out in the middle of the hottest summer on record in West Lafayette, Indiana to hear Bernie Sanders talk about the $3.5 trillion Senate reconciliation bill, you're doing something right."
--Misty Rebik, Sanders' chief of staff
\u201cUnder reconciliation, we will lead the world in transforming our energy system away from fossil fuels, make our homes and buildings more energy efficient, make agriculture greener, and we will establish a Civilian Climate Corps, providing good wages and benefits for young people.\u201d— Bernie Sanders (@Bernie Sanders) 1630116689
\u201c"After receiving support from the American Rescue Plan, I felt a sense of hope, and it echoed through my children and the people around me. Our government finally invested in me." - Cody, a dad living in Indiana\u201d— Bernie Sanders (@Bernie Sanders) 1630117118
\u201c"Investing in human infrastructure is one of our most valuable assets to aid Hoosiers and other Americans rebuild after the pandemic. We have to stop thinking about the world we once had, and start thinking about the world we're leaving our kids." - Mary, a single mom in Indiana\u201d— Bernie Sanders (@Bernie Sanders) 1630158420
\u201cI'm LIVE in Indiana to talk about how we are finally going to address the long-neglected needs of working families, the elderly, the sick and the most vulnerable among us. https://t.co/Y0NfOmbEJ4\u201d— Bernie Sanders (@Bernie Sanders) 1630105197
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back.
