Sanders sees battle for America's soul playing out in Congress

[Uncle Joe]

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday characterized the battle over the reconciliation spending bill as a test of American democracy.

Speaking on ABC’s “This Week,” Sanders (I-Vt.) said, “We're taking on the entire ruling class of this country. Right now the drug companies, the health care — the health insurance companies, the fossil fuel industry are spending hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to prevent us from doing what the American people want, and this really is a test of whether or not American democracy can work.“

Sanders had harsh words for Republicans, whom he described as “bought and paid for,” as well as lobbying interests battling the progressive priorities built into the $3.5 trillion bill.

“Poll after poll shows what we are doing is exactly what the American people want. It's not what the big money interest wants, not what the lobbyists want. It's what the American people want, and we got to do it,” Sanders said.
