U.S. Sen. #Bernie #Sanders praised the
economic agenda
outlined Friday by Democratic nominee #Kamala #Harris as
"an important step forward in making our country a fairer and more just society."
Sanders said it is "an #economic #agenda that begins to speak to the needs of #working #families and takes on the unprecedented #corporate #greed that is taking place throughout America."
"At a time when the price of #healthcare is soaring, Vice President Harris understands that we need to cancel #medical #debt in America," said Sanders.
"At a time when we have a major housing crisis, with 650,000 people experiencing #homelessness,
Vice President Harris understands that we have to build at least 3 million units of #affordable #housing, provide a $25,000 down payment for first-time #homebuyers,
and prevent #corporate #landlords from jacking up rent."
"At a time when millions of Americans are struggling to raise their kids," the senator added,
"Vice President Harris understands that we need to cut the child poverty rate by at least 50% by restoring and expanding the #Child #Tax #Credit included in the American Rescue Plan."
