Local cable or satellite provider. Cspan, your unfiltered view of government. A look now at the federal role in improving School Bus Safety. The house transportation and infrastructure subcommittee on highways and transit heard from brenda sue fulton, among others. Today is a timely hearing with children out of school.

good evening. i m mehdi hasan. joe biden has been spending the weekend at home in delaware before he heads out on the road this week to sell the $1.9 trillion american rescue plan. he has a lot to work with. it is difficult to overstate what a big win this piece of legislation is for the president. it s the second biggest economic stimulus in american history, giving cash direct to the poorest americans. and if you want to know how much our politics has changed, here is the great irony. the joe biden of the 1980s and 1990s would probably have voted against it. don t take my word for it. take his, from 1984. what happens if every tax dollar that we pay, 50 to 60% of it is just going to pay the interest on the debt? he will be paying for what we lived on. we should be investing to allow him to be able to live on something. here he is in 1988, decrying, quote, stories of welfare mothers driving luxury cars and leading lifestyles that mirror the rich and famous. biden s words
