You can add yet another dissenter to the Democratic ranks. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who’s technically an independent but caucuses with Democrats due to his admitted socialist beliefs, says he opposes the deal.
Bernie Sanders calls this “deal” “grotesquely immoral” and “bad economic policy.”
So Republican leaders are taking flack from their caucus over the deal, and Democratic leaders are taking flack from their own caucus over the deal.
Good job, guys. What a deal.
