Even Democrats are balking at Bernie Sanders’s $6 trillion spending plan | Washington Examiner: Sen. Bernie Sanders this past week unveiled a proposal to pass a $6 trillion spending package for infrastructure and social programs that even fellow Democrats say is far too expensive. Sanders, a Vermont independent and socialist, pitched the massive proposal in a closed-door meeting with Democratic members of the Senate Budget Committee, which he leads. “What we are working on right now is on a budget that builds on the proposals that the president has brought to us,” Sanders told reporters after the meeting.
