Senate Budget Committee Chairman Sanders Statement on President Biden's Budget Proposal
Sen. Bernie Sanders
March 27, 2022
Tweet - "When we talk about oligarchy in America we are talking about 700 billionaires who became nearly $2 trillion richer during the pandemic & pay a lower tax rate than a nurse while the child poverty rate soared by 41% in January because the expanded Child Tax Credit ended."
Sen. Bernie Sanders
March 23, 2022

March 15, 2022
Tweet - "Why is the price of oil LOWER today than it was in 2014 while the average price for a gallon of gas nationwide is 80 cents a gallon HIGHER than it was eight years ago? Answer: Corporate greed. Now is no time for profiteering. Now is the time for a windfall profits tax."
Sen. Bernie Sanders

March 12, 2022

Feb. 28, 2022

Sen. Bernie Sanders

Jan. 31, 2022

Dec. 27, 2021
Tweet - "The expansion of the child tax credit this year has reduced child poverty in America by 40%. Incredible! But, if Build Back Better is not passed, that provision will soon expire and millions of children will be plunged back into poverty. Pathetic!"
Sen. Bernie Sanders
Dec. 2, 2021
Tweet - "The bottom line is you can't talk about demanding the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, and then give large tax breaks to millionaires. It's just too much hypocrisy."
Sen. Bernie Sanders
Nov. 30, 2021
Tweet - "Let's be clear. The problem is not the worker who got a small raise & a $1,400 check 7 months ago. The problem is corporations making record-breaking profits while 700 billionaires became $2 trillion richer during the pandemic. We need an economy that works for all, not the 1%."
Sen. Bernie Sanders
Nov. 29, 2021
Tweet - "What if instead of helping billionaires fund their space hobby, we invested in working people here on Earth?"
Sen. Bernie Sanders
Nov. 27, 2021
