“The teachers did not cause this recession. Firefighters and police officers who are being attacked by governors all over this country did not cause this recession. Construction workers did not cause this recession. This recession was caused by the greed the recklessness and the illegal behavior of the people on Wall Street.” Bernie Sanders
Let’s not forget the politicians who helped the Wall Street bankers decimate the nation ie: Clinton turning back Glass-Steagall and the Bush administration who helped create the liar loans and the sub-prime mortgages which were then used in the derivatives markets to implode the global economy. This was a plan from the start to radically remake the economic system of the United States and all of the Euro-zone nations and it is currently working.

Wish we had about 100 more people like him in our Congress.
Well said Bernie! I’m amazed you are still there after being constantly shunned and insulted by those shills and dipshits around you…
My best wishes to you, good sir!
We need all the voices we can get Jan

I like Bernie Sanders, but I have a problem with one thing he said here. He talked about the troops who came back from Iraq/Afghanistan as having “defended our country.” C’mon, really? It annoys me when a Congressman is too scared quit using the Disney narrative of what’s going on over there.
“Want to thank a hero, thank a protester.” Don’t know where I read that, but I know what it’s saying.
I was a soldier once, back upon a time. Never once in all that time did I feel like a patriot even, let alone a hero.
I like Bernie, too–what I get to see of him, hear out of him. Wonder what he’s really like, though–like, is he really real? How does he feel about being a United States Congressman, and about doing what he does as that Congressman? Like a patriot, maybe? Maybe even a hero?
Maybe he’s both. Maybe I should thank him
