- Republicans have made it clear they will hold the world economy hostage unless President Biden gives in to their demands. Instead, he should prepare to use the 14th Amendment to ensure we pay our debts and protect working families who are already struggling.
Say no to Blackmail.
That's right GOP don't let the Dems blackmail you into handing the USA over to china
Biden administration and the U.S. Congress have directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine
More like extortion but the essence is the same.
We shouldn't negotiate with Terrorists, especially the domestic kind.
The Confederate republican party ARE the enemy of America!
Do NOT give in! Call their bluff. Enough is ENOUGH!!! 💙ya Bernie!
That's correct, they're not going to let their own donors go bankrupt on the right.

Well said, Senator Sanders.
Oh i thought it was Tywin Lannister with all that talk about paying our debts.
You sound like an intelligent person. Want to buy a pet rock that have price
@@thomassteiner744 So, your last owner is selling you, eh?
Like how he leaves out that the spending during trump was because of Bill's passed before he got in office but what can you say Democrats the party of pedophiles drug addicts and spending taxpayer money on there welfare bills
The guy is a clown.
This man actually does his job. He’s 81 years old and trying to drag the country back from the brink!!! He should be relaxing after a lifetime of service to others. Yet, here he is, trying to protect people!!!!!!
As a youth, I felt like my future is already been destroyed and crushed by student loan debt, inflations, medical bills, and insurance. While our salary is barely enough to survive. We will work until the day we die without retirement, while living in our parents' basement or a tent in the woods.
Joe Biden is doing everything he can for the youth he cares about his grandchildren
I hate to admit this, but sometimes it’s just too much and I can barely find the strength to make it through a week. I don’t really talk to family anymore because they argue over everything with me, and I’m gay, which I also get judged for. I’ve just tried finding cognitive dissonance is keeping my head above water and block the rest out. I am beyond broken.
Meanwhile, Republicans will do another tax break for billionaires while cutting programs for the poor and homeless. Just wait till they get in power again!
@@thisisbrad I think many of us feel the same. Hang in there, Brad.
@@thisisbrad if the only thing you can keep above water is your nostrils do it, the struggle will be worth it when we turn this around. And we will, if and only if we stick around and vote for everything…from school boards to governors all the way to the top. We have let our institutions be taken over by extremists and still only about 24% of registered dem voters vote. If just 50% of dem voters voted republicons would never win an election again.
Bernie Sanders 👍💪👏
You weren’t saying this when you ordered, Biden administration and the U.S. Congress have directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine
Aussie here. Love you Bernie Sanders!🥰
My hero. One of the few honorable Congress members. Fighting for us!
TAX THE RICH. Even Buffett said billionaires taxes are a joke...
🎯 Yes!! Make the 1% pay their fair share!!! 💯🇺🇸⚖️🌊
Get a job
@@thomassteiner744 That’s a pretty weak post considering those two people may well have several jobs
@@thomassteiner744 Well said, by the "man" living in his mother's basement.

Most think of the, historically prosperous, 1940's & 50's when they reminisce about America's "greatness."
Do you know what the top-marginal tax rates were during those, historically prosperous, decades?
*Historical Highest Marginal Income Tax Rates*
_"The top income tax rate reached above 90% from 1944 through 1963, peaking in 1944 when top taxpayers paid an income tax rate of 94% on their taxable income."_
SOURCE: Tax Policy Center - online 9-Feb-22
YES!!
Nobody paid that tax rate, their loopholes were incredible back then. Nuance does not fit the headline so chirp on comrade
@@holdmybeer123 LOL, no evidence - just an assertion you are too lazy to create an anecdote to fit!
And yes, the upper brackets paid enough that the American middle class's effective level of taxation was negligible, buddy
@@holdmybeer123 it would appear otherwise
So,.......if they paid more than the government could maybe do good things for people like training for young people, helping homeless people and treating the sick? You know - It would be nice to have some of these high speed trains like China and even more bicycle paths.
Never vote Republican ever. Never ever.
We need MORE courageous voices just like Bernie Sanders to counter the outrageous lies of the political system. GO BERNIE!!!
Give 'em hell Bernie!
Perfectly said! Thanks Senator Sanders for the explanation!
Nailed it! Thank you Bernie Sanders! Clearly, you have the best interests of Americans in mind!
Should have said, If we don't want debt, we have to make the corporations pay their fair share like they used to!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump is responsible for lowering the tax rate for mega corporations and businesses to 1% while he was in office as well as lowering or terminating safety regulations in the transport businesses of fuels and combustible materials. Guess that ok?
Corporations dont pay taxes, they collect them .
@@ada-yw1bb They used to do both and all have wonderful lives. Now they want it all.
@Dana Tompkins : No, they always just collected them for .gov .
63% of Americans pay no taxes at all, the rest of us are just cash cows for the government and the FSA .
Everything is great until you run out of other peoples money to spend.
Both parties are guilty, but the Dumocrats are by far the worst.
I'm tired of supporting the lazy and entitled bums while I work and pay taxes, and they play.
We need a flat tax where " everyone " has skin in the game .
No more IRS welfare .
I keep hearing they are making progress on coming to an agreement. It's really gonna piss me off if Biden gives into any of the Republican demands
You know he will. He has bragged that he's more of a Republican and Corporate Dems have been doing this since Bill Clinton. Remember, Obama tried to give the GOP "everything they wanted," including cutting Social Security. We were only spared because Republicans were greedy and couldn't take yes for an answer.
Corporate Dems are not our friends. They've been playing this good cop game since Clinton. I'm sick of it.
Bernie is trying to prevent Biden from playing himself.
The Republicans "walked out" of negotiations today claiming that the White House was being unreasonable. So I don't think Biden is giving in to their demands
ME TOO🤨❢❢❢
I’m already pissed at him for going back on his promises on oil drilling and immigration. I mean, I expected it and to some degree I understand why, but I still don’t like it.
@Jonathan Banner 🥱🖕!
God bless Bernie
When are we going to put the MAGA Republicans in jail and end this madness.
Good on Biden, for unleashing Bernie. How much clearer does it have to be said?
"RELEASE THE BERN!" *clic clic clic clic clic clic clic Booom.....!* "RAAAAAWWWRRRR!"
it will fall on deaf ears, the right wing terrorists will not care. all they care about is "owning the libs" at the expense of everything else. They are behind feeling shame so the only course of action is to vote them out so they can't pull this nonsense anymore.
@@shorgoth HAH! Love it. Bernie is the secret weapon of democracy!
I guess Fetterman wasn't available. 😉
Great comment!!
14th Amendment, section 4: The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, *shall not be questioned.*
exactly!
Clear as day. Biden placating these ghouls is what Corporate Dems do, always trying to normalize Republican insanity. Biden IS a Republican.
Then it would be treason on the Republicans head.
The GOP do not let facts or the law get in the way of their insanity!
14th Amendment, Section 4 (unabridged): The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Thanks Senator! I live paycheck to paycheck to support me and my son. I'm in a union, but I only make 22 dollars an hour. Please continue to protect us.
Thank you Bernie❤
The 14th amendment was created to fix this kind of issue 🎉
no. it wasn't.
@@AndrewBurbo-zw6pf It quite literally was. The clause in question was made to stop parties gaining the majority from simply ignoring obligations they do not personally like. The first example and the one directly stated in the constitution was that the south couldn't stop payments for the military efforts of the north if they ever gained power. These arguments shouldn't have ever come up as congress can pass budgets, but the debt limit is constitutionally, in plain text, not up for debate.
@@AndrewBurbo-zw6pf You need not open your mouth when ya don't know what you're talking about!
@@AndrewBurbo-zw6pf "no. it wasn't". No facts to support their statement. What a child. *grabs popcorn*
@@NavariteAzuth not all spending is to cover debts, what this means is we do not send money to Ukraine and pay for hotel rooms for illegals or the new green deal. there is plenty of money coming in to pay debts. the problem is we can't pay our bills now, not even close. if we could we would not have to keep borrowing more and more.
Push Biden on the 14th. He should of invoked it already.
He is letting the GOP hang themselves...
Thank you, Uncle Bernie!✊
Stop paying Republicans, get rid of their pensions. They are wealthy enough. Im tired of them taking our money.
Look up Bernie Sanders history....Then ask yourself ...How'd Bernie become a millionaire?....The Democrats had control of the House and Senate before they lost the House in the last election...What did they do for you besides make your life more difficult...
Make sure to take it to the polls! Please.
We should vote of their salaries and benefits, but they know if we did they would be as poor as much of the rest of the country
They should be incarcerated for treason against the state.
I like the idea a right wing channel proposed of tying the pay of representatives to the median income of the nation.
Factual and informative. Thanks you.
That's Right Bernie!
I wish Bernie was thirty years younger so we could have him around an additional thirty years.
And there'd be a shot at a presidential run as well. I'd love to have Sanders in the oval office.
Maybe age brings more wisdom to those who are smart such as brilliant Mr Sanders & President Biden. I am GLAD we have them now! With what the republican party has become, we are extremely lucky to have them now! We have the time we are born into
@@deniseelles4545 There is something to be said for wisdom that comes with age, but Bernie has always been a terrific advocate for the people. Agreed that it's great to have Bernie being in the position he is now so that he can make his words heard.
Wow. I just posted 20 years younger before I read your post and 30 years is even better.
Do I hear 40 years?
Anyone notice how well spoken and knowledgeable Bernie is at his age, as opposed to trump who speaks like a deranged idiot?
Bernie you are one of the few voices of reason in American Politics. Please keep fighting that fight even if you are surrounded by greedy morons.
To quote Paul Wellstone, "Stand Up! Keep Fighting!"
He's blaming the republicans when democrat is president. Dirty uncle Joe!
Hes a frigin commie
Yeah, that's the socialist way. If you failed at life, just steal from those that didn't.
Thank you for everything you do!!!
Thank you Bernie!
Thank you Bernie Sanders, Senator Merkley and all of the other Senators for your leadership...

How stupid is the American Public to fall for this sheet twice...... Y E S.
100% yes, Sen. Saunders!
I voted for Bernie in 2015. I wish he would have been elected then! Life for Americans would have been very different today.
Vote for Marianne Williamson. She stands strong like Bernie.
I have lots of problems with Bernie but not on this. Tax the people and corporations who are worth over 10 million more.
Rescind the W Bush + drumpf era tax cuts.
Senator Sanders cares about the working class. 🇺🇸
They should pay taxes no matter their worth - you know, just the same way the average American making minimum wage must do❢❢❢
Its almost like conservatives and liberals *dont* care. Huh. Crazy. *psst* if you havent figured it out, Bernies not a liberal.
Why tax anyone? It’s not like our government depends on revenue to run, which is why they are 32 trillion dollars in the hole! CONTROL IS WHY taxes exist. The left wing authoritarian leanings is why.
Please don’t let those evil republicans destroy the youth’s future
@@unbreakable7633 WOW on CZcams for 4 months equals TROLL. Well I'd rather be a Dem than a authoritarian like you.
@@unbreakable7633 Democrats have never held the debt ceiling hostage.
Dems just play good cop. Think about it, EVERY bad GOP idea had a Dem bringing it over the finish line. Some of these bad ideas are NAFTA, ending Glass Steagall, Welfare cuts, The Crime Bill, 500k dead Iraqis due to sanctions, DOMA, DADT, prolonging the Afghanistan War, voting for the Iraq War, starting new wars, failure to close GITMO, GITMO torture (rectal force feeding), tried to cut Social Security, tried to bring us "NAFTA on steroids (TPP)," privatizing education with Charter Schools, making The Bush Tax Cuts permanent, normalizing GOP immigration, kept Trump's Iran policy; the list is long.
yes, make sure those kids are loaded with debt that you incurred.
@@timmyg44 Ahhhh so your orange traitor didn't add 25% of the total debt in 4 years? And in 2 years your President Biden had paid 1.2 trillion dollars towards the debt. Just eliminate the debt ceiling.
I love it Bernie, you've done some outstanding work in your role. I look up to you, as do many others. Thank you for your voice.
Thank you always, Bernie, for telling it like it is and always fighting the good fight for those who need it most. We love you!
Well explained and you are Awesome Bernie Sanders for all struggling Americans
It is strange that in a time where food and medical help is becoming increasingly more bankrupting to the average household. Congress is proposing more cuts on people that are already getting evicted, already losing their credit scores, and getting priced out of every home. Do they not understand that economies fail from the bottom up?
The Republicans want the economy to crash under Biden. They think that will then make to American people blame Biden for the crash and vote for Trump at the next election. This is all about power and elections, its not about the American people, the economy or our wellbeing, its just about Republicans gaining power and winning the election...shame on you Republicans!!!
This is about hurting minorities. It always has been. Even if it hurts their own voters.
No, they are the RICH.
You dont matter. You are peasant and if you arent working your worthless. Normal americans are viewed as deplorable lazy trash. If you arent giving thier churches and coffers money then you dont deserve to live. If euthanizing" lazy" people could be justified someway by the church you can bet your bottom dollar they would do it.
Vote for Bieden and all democrats right down the line in all elections to keep our country moving forward during these trying times and get each and every Maga faciast outta our government for good no more Trump never again never or anyone like him
Clear and concise. Never afraid to tell it like it is. Thank you Bernie.
He’s always a joy to hear. He does his job!!!!
He's a 🤡
He gives facts, not rhetoric! He is a truly honorable man
The debt ceiling is not paying our debts. Our social security is doing that thanks to the rich fascists.
The Republicans want to ELIMINATE SOCIAL SECURITY so bad they can taste it and of course give to their billionaire criminal friends.
The GOP passed bill does NOTHING to social security. DUH!
Good for you, Bernie. I wish you would run again.
There should be a Windfall Profits Tax bill.
The issue is revenue, not spending. Get rid of the income cap on Social Security. Make the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share.
Thank you Bernie !!! 🐦🔥
🚨😡👉They're going to have to face a lot of American people who are going to be pretty damn pissed because we don't agree with this.🚨
Yes, but they’ll brainwash enough of their constituents with lies and distractions so they probably won’t lose their power to screw us all over
Factual, punctual and very coherent. This was really powerful stuff.
Thank you Bernie Sanders for fighting the good fight and speaking truth to power!
Damn straight Bernie! ❤️✊
Thank you Bernie Sanders! You are God sent.
Go Bernie! We really need more people like you to publicly explain in lay terms what some of these things boil down to. Thank you! I just started the free online course about The Constitution from Hillsdale College to understand things better. I highly recommend!
I have a masters degree and did not know about future budgets and Republican actions. Thank you for informing us Americans. Republicans hope to keep everyone in the dark so they can lie their way into power. Thank you Bernie
Bernie Sanders is such a great communicator.
Thank you Bernie for making this clear and the horrors that await us if the GOP gets its way. This is the attitude of the party that loves to talk about how much they cherish family values and God. I guess neither were present when Republicans drafted this piece of "hatred legislation".
Since the Bible God is a sinister punk with a personality disorder (read the Bible completely)..it's not a wonder the Crazy G.O.P. supports it and not America.
How are people in the military supposed to fight for this country worrying about their own families being on the streets?
Thank You Mr Bernie Sanders for stating the truth! I certainly wish you would run again for president!
So right Bernie
🚨 thank you for sharing this important news.🇺🇲💙
Can we start asking the GQP why their answer is always to cut spending for the neediest among us instead of raising revenue through increased taxes on the extremely wealthy and stopping the corporate welfare system?
Republicans are such benevolent caring humans...
Straight up traitors to the country acting treasonously, they should be jailed.
the Republicans in Congress.
What a wonderful president he would have made🇺🇸
True, but he can probably do more in the position he is in now and not get slanderd by fox everyday.
Make it happen Senator Sanders! Please get President Biden to use the 14th Amendment!
Hello James how are you doing 😊
It would have to go through the courts which would take months.
HOT DOG!!! BILLIONS MORE FOR UKRAINE AND BIDEN'S ILLEAGLE IMMIGRANTS! AM. RESCUE, INFRASTRUCTURE, BUILD BACK BROKE AND OMINOUS BILL NOT ENOUGH! WHO'S WORRIED? SEND THE BILL TO OUR KIDS!

@@johnp139 We would have to be in a Civil war... which we aren't. The 14th Amendment was put in place for Abraham Lincoln to continue moving forward with the government during war time. That is the sticking point for those who have NO PLAN. Claim to use an ammendment that is ONLY for war time. Those who bring up use of the Constitution and the 14th Amendment... should ALSO tell us all how lame they think gun control is.
how does that work?
Just NO to BlackMail … NO to the GQP ! VOTE 💙 2024
If they don't want to talk about taxing the unimaginably wealthy fairly, why would we even sit down with those threatening to doom the world economy, if the poor are not cut off from basic human needs to stay alive or healthy?

@@yvonnelink8943 The entire CZcams community will agree with you...only when you go up to a poor child and tell him/her on live tv "Sorry, but I am glad the GOP wants to cut out SNAP, WIC, head start schooling, since a healthy lunch and a boost in your preschool educcationfor you is not important. We gotta let Bezos have another super yacht!". Or go up to an impoverished shut in senior who needs Meals on Wheels, or a community funded ride to the doctor, and tell her on live TV "Sorry granny, I love that the GOP wants to stop the programs so you can't get your meals, or any affordable healthcare, because we gotta keep letting Elon take movie stars into space."
God this man is a saint. Bernie always articulates what’s at stake so succinctly. All of this consternation over the debt by people who should already be in prison for their roles in Jan 6 It’s outrageous
Right....... and Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election. Do you ever think about maybe NOT gaslighting???
Bernie Sanders is a despicable human. He's a absolute loser. Do your research on his background. He makes me want to vomit.
Way to go uncle Bernie!✊🏾
I agree use the 14th Admendment.
don't have a debt ceiling
Exactly. Only 2 countries have this. I think it's the US and Denmark.
The debt ceiling law was enacted as a provision of the 2d Liberty Bond drive 1917. About time that was rescinded.
If it were taken away, then Republicans would have a harder time holding the U.S. economy hostage.
There is no parity between the debt ceiling and massive, cruel cuts to every program that would help the American people. We have seen 50 years of decreasing salaries and benefits. Everyone must have health insurance, and the whole health care industry must be nationalized.
a much needed voice in this government...still say this man should have been potus!
Ikr?
Thank you, Senator Sanders, for the specifics.
thank you Mr President......er Chairman Sanders. Keep embarrassing and shaming the corrupt publicns and corporate criminals.
Just gotta love Bernie he is for the people tell him like it is.
Thank you, Senator Sanders! It is well said and clear that even the deaf can hear it...oh, I mean the Republicans.
I still am unclear why Congress did not either raise the limit or eliminate the ceiling all-together when we held the White House and both houses of Congress! I remember there being talk between election day and when the Republicans took over the House in January that they SHOULD do it (in the media) but Congress never took it up. Howecome?
Corporate democrats prevented progress...I'm sure the major two are easy to figure out.
Pay our debt by taxing corporations and billionaires
We love you Bernie 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Mr. PRESIDENT...Invoke the 14 Amendment and protect America from these thoughtless and heartless outlaws of the Republican party. SHAMEFUL. 😡👎🖤
Why it does nothing it has to be passed by Congress so there back to fighting again however I wonder if it means the congress from the definition which consists of the house and Senate that make congress or a different term sense its so old
Q
Being in debt so long that you have had to increase the debt ceiling already 80 times is very IRRESPONSIBLE.
Honey....if you're only constantly living on debt you're the problem not the debt ceiling.
#1 work and earn money 💰
#2 pay your bills and save some money 💰
#3 invest a portion
HERE YOU'RE LIVING ON CREDIT CARDS AND WHEN YOU REACH THE LIMIT, YOU ASK FOR A HIGHER LIMIT....80 FREAKING TIMES AND YOU WANT IT FOR THE 81st time.....

And who picked up the tab, the working class. The same group being threatened with massive cuts to programs that would effect millions, including millions of jobs.

@Coogan Yeah I know just a suggestion 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤡🤡🤡🤡
The president MUST use the 14th Amendment! Don’t let these MAGA Republicans get away with this BS!
Wrong, Gerty. As a co-equal branch of the US government, it is for President Biden to let Speaker Kevin McCarthy of the Congress, take the responsibility for that decision. As President and head of the Executive branch, Joe Biden has other matters, to which, to attend. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ For one: Since the war in Ukraine, is actually a war with China, via Ukraine, with the useful idiots of the Russians, as China's proxy army, with which to wage war on the west, President Biden really needs to make a stopover in Taipei, to send the Xi-CCP Hegemonarchy a powerful message :-)
So what left over debt from the Civil War do we need the 14th Amendment to pay off?
I really want him to be our president! Bernie Deserves to be our president because he understands us the most! 👍🏻
