Even In Defeat, Bernie Sanders Is Pulling Joe Biden to the Left

Joseph Biden always seemed to be a man without convictions. He is a typical weather vane politician and a rusty one (see e.g. here)! That is probably also the reason why Obama accepted him as vice president!

Medicare, Obamacare, and Social Security are all deeply unconstitutional Big Government socialist programs that should have never passed the U.S. Congress and signed into law by any president!

"But yesterday, the working group released its proposals, in the form of the "Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations," 110 pages covering a multitude of issues, including climate, health care, criminal justice, education, and more.  
On nearly every issue, the document would move Biden toward Sanders, with what The New York Times describes as "broader and costlier plans than he has championed so far in his campaign," and more aggressive plans to mandate reductions in carbon emissions. Among other things, the new document proposes creating a new zero-deductible Obamacare plan that would automatically enroll low-income people who otherwise lack coverage, expanding Medicare eligibility to people aged 60 and up, boosting Social Security benefits, creating an environmental justice fund, canceling up to $50,000 in student debt for people working in education, and adopting more restrictive trade policies closer to what Sanders supported during the campaign. ... "
