Democracy Now: Bernie Sanders on Yemen War, Medicare for All, Green New Deal & the Stop BEZOS Act



Published on Dec 3, 2018
https://democracynow.org - Hundreds of international progressive leaders gathered in Burlington, Vermont, last weekend for an event hosted by The Sanders Institute. While there, Amy Goodman sat down with independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders to discuss his efforts to pass a Green New Deal, raise the minimum wage and protect Social Security. He also spoke about last week’s historic Senate vote to advance a resolution he co-sponsored to end military support for the Saudi-led, U.S.-backed war in Yemen.

That would give small businesses and mom and pop businesses a much needed leveling agent.

What is better for the economy? A giant retail store that hires 100 minimum wage employees and a small number of decent salaries jobs or a bunch of mom and pop stores that provide solid incomes to a multitude of families and offer a few minimum wage jobs? Main Street USA would come back.
