Sanders voted with the Republicans and one or two Democrats as I remember...this was after the inauguration... against it. Without those funds autos would have gone under...one of the reasons, I don't think Sanders should be our nominee...it can't always be about ideology...sometimes you have to compromise.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
