2017年养老金政治权力25：Bernie Sanders

来自佛塞尔的长期社会主义国会议员，伯尼桑德斯通过他的2016年出价来成为民主总统候选人的国家名人堂。他在锈带状态下巩固了支持，这蔑视他们的传统模式，以提供将唐纳德特朗普在权力中的挥杆票。Sanders’ strength among these Trump backers makes him the most important voice in the populist opposition to the GOP in the Senate, which he joined in 2007. Though Sanders caucuses with the Democrats, his socialist views have often put him at odds with the party’s mainstream — as he was in 2015, when he introduced a bill to reverse the effects of the 2014 Kline–Miller Multiemployer Pension Reform Act, which is set to result in deep pension cuts for retirees and workers in struggling multiemployer corporate pension plans. Sanders, 75, is expected to reintroduce that legislation. In the 2017–’18 Congress, he will be the ranking member of the powerful Senate Committee on the Budget, where the Pension Guaranty Benefit Corp. is likely to be on the chopping block.- Michelle Celarier
