Summary
Senator Bernie Sanders condemned Trump’s order to freeze all federal loans and grants, calling it a “dangerous move towards authoritarianism” and “blatantly unconstitutional.”
The directive, exempting Social Security and Medicare, is expected to impact universities, nonprofits, food assistance programs, health centers, and disabled veterans.
Sanders emphasized that Congress holds the “power of the purse” and urged Americans to oppose the order.
Attorneys general are preparing legal challenges to overturn the freeze.
Bernie isn’t perfect, but he’s been the only candidate who holds some left-leaning ideologies without being totally impossible to elect.
It’s too bad he got shut down for Hillary, and now he’s much too old to start a pres. term.
