Published | Video Starts at 15:42

We don't need to mortgage our children's Future by another 3 or $400 billion. We don't need to do that. We can alleviate suffering. We can help our fellow Americans. We could have done it in September. But the good senator for Vermont and all of his colleagues on the Democrat side simply won't take yes for an answer. And my guess is they're taking that same stance today. (15:42–15:47)
