You know, Bernie Sanders voted to give the gun manufacturers protection against litigation. He also voted to deregulate Wall Street twice and Bill Clinton signed it into law. Check this:
She was referring to the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, which led to unregulated trading of certain types of financial instruments, including over-the-counter derivatives. The authors of the 2011 Financial Crisis Inquiry Report concluded that type of derivative "contributed significantly to this crisis," and called the 2000 law banning their regulation "a key turning point in the march toward the financial crisis."
So the independent Senator who rails against Wall Street all his life voted this way:
Sanders, then a member of the House, voted in favor of the bill - along with 376 other members of the House. When the legislation was amended with even more provisions to guarantee the government could not regulate over-the-counter derivatives, it was added to a must-pass government funding bill. Sanders voted in favor of that too.
So yes, Bernie Sanders voted for policies that strengthened Wall Street while supporting the moderate President Clinton.
That means, when we consider all the players who contributed to the 2008 crash, Bernie has his hands dirty too.
