Bernie Sanders is one of the few truly great Americans left in politics. He really cares about this country. Of course there is a fat, drug addled pile of feces that comes on the airwaves each morning who will label Sanders a socialist because its his job to keep the public stooopid. If there were enough people like Bernie Sanders in the government we wouldnt be in a world of hurt as we are now. Bernie is obviously content to live on the salary he receives and work for the people of America.

Funny somehow that immigrants are now primarily mowing our lawns and doing our science...

Every time I hear Bernie Sanders speak, I like him more.

[Arthur Mayer]

He says Alan Greenspan has lost touch. I don't think he ever was IN touch. Just accommodating the rich and the bourgeois classes

What did Ron Paul say after this, because it sounds like he was next to speak?

[Joe Barry]

And ten years later - Bernie Sanders was right and Greenspan is disgraced.

[Caballingus]

Sanders for President!

[bushidobrother06]

[InYourMomsBox]

Sanders is wrong in much of what he says there. But I still like the fact that he chews out Greenspan.

Bernie Sanders is deer need of a brain transplant, sht for brains will give him a higher IQ.To whoever mentioned FDR saving the country..you should follow the same path as bernie sanders...or open an economic history book....and attempt to read the intro.

For all the commenters that place blame on Jews being in control of national/international finances, let it be known that both Sanders AND Greenspan have Jewish backgrounds. You are LITERALLY watching one Jew calling another Jew out on the other side of the spectrum!

It's not a religious issue, it's an ELITIST issue! Whoever has the control of the currency or is high-class, has the real control of how life among money-based economies runs itself.

[GnomesAmok]

You know hes a socialist, right?

[Randy Ragsdale]

GO BERNIE SANDERS!
