Varney: Sanders backs Biden into a corner on the economy

If you want to know what's going to happen to your money in a Joe Biden presidency, look no further than Bernie Sanders' speech last night.
It's not the Biden-Harris ticket; it's Biden-Harris-Sanders. Bernie wrote the program. Socialists were invited to run the task forces that came up with a radical platform: on taxes, climate, health care and more, the far left is running this show. And your money is at stake.

How exactly does the Federal Reserve do that?

At the virtual convention last night, a Republican, former Ohio Governor John Kasich, said Joe Biden would not be a far-left-winger, and he said "no one pushes Joe around." Wrong on both counts: Bernie has pushed Joe into a dead-end, socialist corner.
