5. We didn't "find" the money for this emergency bill, we borrowed it, and it's NOTHING...

....like Sanders' pie in the sky proposals.

This is an emergency bill costing less than $2T, not some radical disruption of programs costing $50T.

Is this an implication that Sanders had anything to do with the bill other than walk on the floor of the Senate 3 days after the details of the bill were worked out and negotiated, vote AYE, walk back out and head to Vermont.

So give us a synopsis of the video (I'm not clicking on it) - what in the emergency bill are "radical ideas" of Sanders'?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
