"Debt Ceiling Negotiations: Sanders, Van Hollen, and Top Republicans Weigh In"
Senator Bernie Sanders is open to some spending cuts but warned lawmakers not to "go to war against the working class" during debt negotiations. He supports cutting military spending and demanding that the largest corporations and wealthiest people pay their fair share of taxes. Sanders also supports a clean debt ceiling bill and criticized the Republican proposal to cut spending on programs for nutrition, education, and healthcare. He urged Republicans to ensure that debts are paid and then negotiate a sensible budget.
