On Wednesday night’s All In, MSNBC host Chris Hayes lobbied Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to put forth “permanent structures” of socialism in coronavirus legislation. Hayes’ pressure resulted in the failed presidential candidate to put forth insane socialist policy proposals.
Hayes advocated for these “permanent structures” in the case that the Republicans hold the Senate in this upcoming election cycle:
I think it's pretty clear they can't just say we're not going to do anything, but there is a real concern that they pass something and then that's it, no more, particularly should be, should Joe Biden get elected president and if they were to keep the Senate that the next Democratic president would be basically out of luck. Is there talk among your caucus and among Democrats of some kind of permanent structures in place until the crisis is over in this legislation?
Hayes’s pessimistic statement inferred that this coronavirus pandemic will go well into 2021, and he wanted to ensure that Sanders had made an effort to push for long lasting left wing policies.
Sanders’ response was exactly what the far left host wanted to hear:
Our position has got to be that we will protect the American people economically in my view. That means providing another check. It should be $2,000 every single month per person until the crisis is over. It should be, and there is a lot of sentiment for this guaranteeing health care to all people during the course of this crisis without out-of-pocket expenses. It certainly means extending that unemployment benefit, and in my view we should pass the Paycheck Protection Act to make sure the workers continue to get their paychecks.
It has been no secret that these socialist proposals are exactly the ideas that Sanders has strived for even before the pandemic. Sanders’ “healthcare for all” routine has been something that he has been pushing for decades, and now, with the help of MSNBC, he’ll take advantage of a crisis to drive his radical agenda.
The call to give every American monthly checks has become very popular in the Democratic Party. The American people are starting to go back to work, but Sanders’ plan makes it so the American people stay at home and live off the government. So far the federal government’s coronavirus response has put the American people in more debt than ever, and Sanders’s MSNBC-sponsored socialist proposal would only create more deficits and further the national debt crisis.

MSNBC’s All In with Chris Hayes
07/08/2020
8:34:41 PMCHRIS HAYES: Democrats in the House passed a multitrillion dollar bill that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said was dead on arrival in his Senate. Now negotiations are beginning to happen, and here to talk about the stakes and what the Senate should be doing, Senator Bernie Sanders, Independent of Vermont. Senator Bernie Sanders, good to have you. Let's start with where things are right now. I mean it really has seemed like a one party operation. You have got Democrats that you caucus within the Senate, Democrats in the house who passed that bill saying we need to do more. We're not out of the woods yet. Things are bad. And Republicans when there was that initial goods job number saying we think we might be good. I think we might be good. I feel like they're coming back from that now, how do you see the state of things right now?
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (VT-I): Well, I mean, the Republicans may try to ignore the horrific reality that is facing tens of millions of Americans today, Chris, but you know what? They're also smart politicians. And they understand that they cannot tell the American people that there is no urgent need in this country when, as your reporter just indicated, we're looking at millions of people being evicted from their homes. We're looking at people by the millions who have lost their health insurance, 30 million people have lost their jobs. So Republicans in their heart of hearts may not want to do anything but they do want to get re-elected to the House and Senate. They're going to have to act. And our job is to put as much pressure as we can on them to start addressing the awful needs of the American people right now.
HAYES: One key element it strikes me, and people have written about this, is the duration of whatever you're able to pass. And I agree with you. I think it's pretty clear they can't just say we're not going to do anything, but there is a real concern that they pass something and then that's it, no more particularly should be, should Joe Biden get elected president and if they were to keep the Senate that the next Democratic president would be basically out of luck. Is there talk among your caucus and among Democrats of some kind of permanent structures in place until the crisis is over in this legislation?
SANDERS: Absolutely. Look, the idea that extended unemployment and the $600 addition is going to run out at the end of this month when so many of our people desperately need that is unthinkable. Our position has got to be that we will protect the American people economically in my view. That means providing another check. It should be $2,000 every single month per person until the crisis is over. It should be, and there is a lot of sentiment for this guaranteeing health care to all people during the course of this crisis without out-of-pocket expenses. It certainly means extending that unemployment benefit, and in my view we should pass the Paycheck Protection Act to make sure the workers continue to get their paychecks.
