51. Sanders voted for the AUMF.

Jun 2015

He has voted for every single bill to continue to fund the Iraq war.

He has helped throw a trillion and a half dollars down the black hole of the F-35 fighter to create a limited number of jobs in Vermont.

How many young adults ( and older ones too) would that obscene sum of money send to college? How many free clinics would it build and staff?
