A new report prepared by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) for Vermont senator and 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders

So now Sanders is using the GAO to generate campaign talking points for him?

Well he hasn't been in the Senate Chamber since July, missing about 150 consecutive votes..... George II Dec 2019 #38

That's Right - The Line Quoted Was From The Journalist, Not Sanders (n/t) corbettkroehler Dec 2019 #39

Teen Vogue! Finally you are using reputable sources, Uncle Joe! Not Commondreams or Jacobin. beastie boy Dec 2019 #3

I just edited the OP and added a graph from Common Dreams with a graph from the GAO. n/t Uncle Joe Dec 2019 #5

That's huge progress too! Ordinarily, you would post the same report from two different sources beastie boy Dec 2019 #8

Well I'm a progressive and we're all about progress not a static status quo suffering from entropy. Uncle Joe Dec 2019 #9

So no more blaming BS's poor performance on media and polling methodology? LanternWaste Dec 2019 #11

Who funds Common Dreams? TidalWave46 Dec 2019 #19

Common Dreams is funded by contributions from its' members and readers, they don't accept Uncle Joe Dec 2019 #20

So you don't know who funds them? TidalWave46 Dec 2019 #24

I answered your question but you never answered mine. Uncle Joe Dec 2019 #25

So they are a dark money group? TidalWave46 Dec 2019 #26

Now you're just projecting "deflection" because you're afraid to answer my question. n/t Uncle Joe Dec 2019 #27

That makes very little sense. Just more deflection from the topic of the op. TidalWave46 Dec 2019 #28

Readers and members of Common Dreams fund them and they don't take advertising money Uncle Joe Dec 2019 #30

So it is dark money. TidalWave46 Dec 2019 #33

If you are for progress, what could be better than Teen Vogue? beastie boy Dec 2019 #14

Do you refute the claim that millennials are worse off than Boomers or X-ers were at the same age? Act_of_Reparation Dec 2019 #10

They're waiting on a reputable source BeyondGeography Dec 2019 #15

Of course I don't. After all, we are looking at the same GAO report, aren't we? beastie boy Dec 2019 #16

When you can't refute the facts, attack the messenger. progressoid Dec 2019 #12

Is the report from Bernie? No? Did the OP give credit to GAO? No? beastie boy Dec 2019 #18

Did you read the OP? No Uncle Joe Dec 2019 #21

i always read your OPs, Uncle Joe! (well, the ones I respond to, anyway) beastie boy Dec 2019 #22

I posted a news article with the accurate title of said article as written Uncle Joe Dec 2019 #23
