Biden = Bernie, Obama admits. Just look at their policies
In a recent interview, former President Barack Obama admitted something Democrats have been trying to deny for months. “If you look at Joe Biden’s goals and Bernie Sanders’ goals, they’re not that different, from a 40,000-foot level,” he said.

Mourning The Many Foibles Of Medicare And Medicaid At 55
Today, Medicare and Medicaid both mark their 55th birthdays. But hold the cake. There’s not much to celebrate on this anniversary.

Biden a moderate? Sanders, AOC plans for candidate suggest this instead
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has long been considered a political moderate. A new report from his “unity” task forces should put that reputation to rest.
