Paul Krugman Attacks Bernie Sanders

Описание: Paul Krugman has a new article in the New York Times called “Sanders Over The Edge.” He's been bashing Bernie for months, but now he's truly jumped the shark. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

Predatory lending was largely carried out by smaller, non-Wall Street institutions like Countrywide Financial; the crisis itself was centered not on big banks but on “shadow banks” like Lehman Brothers that weren’t necessarily that big. And the financial reform that President Obama signed in 2010 made a real effort to address these problems. It could and should be made stronger, but pounding the table about big banks misses the point.
