It's likely to be a wild ride but whatever understanding we have to help us ride it out has come and probably for the immediate future will come from Bernie. He has outlined the parameters of the possible for us, the good and the bad. Whether we will profit from his understanding remains to be seen.

many of us Bernie supporters are not. Try living on $758 a month. Hillary will not change a thing for us, and neither did Obama. Do you ever wonder if there is a reason behind our anger?

Interesting and insightful post I wish everyone in the US would watch and consider. This clip points to many things President Clinton did that destabilized our monetary system. I often hear that Bernie can't do the things he's promising. It was good to hear just now the many things Bernie could do to correct our monetary system problems. Vote Bernie! It's a really simple choice if you think about it. Give him (and us) a chance.

work for change like Sanders. He can appoint an AG and staff the Justice Dept. to enforce the Sherman anti-trust laws and more. There's no time to waste, clean up of the dysfunctional economic and political system corrupting our institutions and society must begin.

Even WS financier Asher Edelman, Oliver Stone's model for Gordon Gekko in "Wall Street&quot 1987) said last week on CNBC that Bernie Sanders is the best candidate for the economy and 80% of average Americans have been in a recession for 15+ years. Other bankers and financial sector employees agree.
