Bernie Sanders

During his campaign Donald Trump told the American people that he was going to provide, and I quote, 'health insurance for everybody' with much lower deductibles.

President Trump's budget would slash Medicaid by over $1.3 trillion, cut Medicare by over $500 billion, and reduce Social Security by nearly $25 billion.

This is not a budget, as Candidate Donald Trump talked about, that takes on the political establishment. This is a budget of the political establishment.

Let me tell the President, Mr. Mulvaney, it gets cold in Vermont and many other parts of this country.

You do not help working families when your budget would eliminate financial aid to more than a million and a half low-income college students.

This budget would make it much, much worse.

This budget is the budget of the Koch brothers. It is the budget of the billionaire class.

President Trump, when he was a candidate, ran for office, and he said, 'I am a different type of Republican.'

You projected that a 10-year extension would actually save the Government $6 billion.

CBO estimated that the change would increase the number of uninsured people by 13 million within 10 years.

I have heard about the world collapsing when we add to the deficit and the national debt.

Am I correct in saying that the legislation would add more than $1.7 trillion to the deficit when interest costs are included?

I think we should let these guys do their jobs and come up with their objective conclusions without attacking them.

CBO found that 23 million fewer people would have health insurance after 10 years.

CBO found that 32 million fewer people would have health insurance after 10 years and that average premiums in the non-group market would almost double by 2026.

I would hope that we have a serious debate about the budget of the United States of America and we do it as soon as we can.

This budget calls once again for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. The estimate is that some 32 million Americans will lose their health insurance.

I do not have to tell anybody that in America today there is a lot of political demoralization.

There are enormous needs facing the American people, and those needs are not just giving huge tax breaks to billionaires.

Ten thousand Americans with disabilities died last year while they were submitting claims to a Social Security Administration that does not have the staff or the funding to process those claims.

We have not reauthorized the Community Health Center Program. We have got 30,000 vacancies at the Veterans Administration.

For every dollar that we spend on defense, we have got to spend on the needs of working families.

If we do not address this issue, I think history will look back at this particular moment and see an incredible moral stain about doing this to these young people.

It might be a good idea for the Budget Committee to actually produce a budget.

The good news is this budget is going nowhere.
