Anyone know why Sanders voted no on this?

I think it’s the same?
Looks like it.
$2 billion retroactive tax break each to Lockheed Martin and Raytheon … bill would provide at least $3 in corporate tax breaks for every $1 in tax cuts for working families with children. That is not a good deal.
Ok, yeah, fuck giving $4b to some of the world’s richest murderers and fuck disguising a pointless payout to the rich as helping the poor.
By ensuring the rich get more, this bill would have increased inequality.
Aaaand this is why I read the comments. Thank you folks for clarifying.
But of course, that’s not why Vance skipped the vote. He didn’t want to be seen voting no on a bill that appeared to help kids.
Maybe he was having a new couch delivered
