The Week in Review

"I'm worried a lot," Sen. Bernie Sanders told radio host Thom Hartmann on Friday during a discussion about how congressional Republicans want to undo the New Deal and Great Society. While Sanders voiced concern, there were signs that the budget debate in Washington may have taken a turn for the better. News reports said the Senate Budget Committee chairman embraced Sanders idea that the sensible way to pare deficits is to pair spending cuts with more revenue, including a surtax on millionaires. Also on Capitol Hill, Congress put a spotlight Big Oil profits and rising gasoline prices. Sanders introduced a bill to provide better health care at less cost.  And there was a lot of eye rolling at a hearing on health care where Sanders and Sen. Rand Paul squared off.
