Bernie Sanders just posted to FaceBook
Advertisements [?]
"A last-minute deal was reached near midnight on Friday for $38.5 billion in spending cuts. Another stopgap spending measure will keep the government running until next week when Congress is to vote on the budget agreement. It makes steep cuts in programs for working families, such as Head Start for children and Pell grants for college students."

So working families, Head Start and pell grants got cut. Tell me again HOW this is supposed to help the middle class and poor? Averted a shutdown on the backs of the middle class -- AGAIN.

What are they going to give up NEXT week? Is there anything else that is still left?

"Change We Can Believe In." REALLY?
