Congratulations to Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats for passing the $3.5 trillion Budget Resolution. Now, let us move forward aggressively to transform this country by passing both the Reconciliation Bill and the Infrastructure Bill. Working families are counting on us.

Unless we pass the reconciliation bill:
— Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) August 24, 2021
-Seniors won't get dental, vision, hearing & home care
-Drug prices will soar
-Families will be denied $300 a month per kid
-Climate change will worsen.
-Families won't receive childcare & affordable housing
No reconciliation, no deal
🚨 New @DataProgress poll: "The 9 members planning to vote against advancing the budget reconciliation process should keep in mind that voters in their districts support it by a 30-point margin — and are less likely to vote for a candidate who opposes it."https://t.co/C3bicMiYIe

President Biden calls Speaker Pelosi "masterful" in her negotiations on the infrastructure and budget reconciliation bills.

We're going to tax the wealth of these billionaires, and with the Budget Reconciliation Legislation, we are finally going to invest in the needs of the working class of this country.
