WASHINGTON - U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, under fire for his democratic socialist views, defended his philosophy on Wednesday as a natural extension of former President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and accused his Republican critics of “corporate socialism.”
Roosevelt’s Depression-era New Deal policies, which included public works jobs, strong banking and financial regulations and the Social Security retirement program, made huge progress in protecting the needs of working families, Sanders said. “They may hate democratic socialism because it benefits working people, but they absolutely love corporate socialism that enriches Trump and other billionaires,” he said.
Democratic presidential contender Elizabeth Warren, normally aligned with Sanders leading the party’s progressive wing, has said she favors “capitalism with serious rules.”
