Sanders: Cutting the deficit is going to take hard work
By Suzia van Swol and Candyce Torres, University of New Mexico-Talk Radio News Service
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) speaks after the President’s Address to Congress and says that cutting the deficit in half is possible but will take a lot of hard work. Sanders discusses the stimulus package and says that, “I think the President has been very clear. We are going to use the internet, he has an inspector general, Joe Biden is going to play a roll. We want that money to do what it is supposed to do; rebuild America, create jobs, not be wasteful, or spent inefficiently.” (1:36)
