It’s October, 2021. The financial crisis is in full swing. It’s 2008 all over again. Everyone is looking to Washington for answers. What will President Sanders do?
Bernie really, really hates bank bailouts. He thinks Obama blew it by not exacting tons of flesh–pounds wouldn’t be nearly enough–in exchange for saving Wall Street. He fears that the big banks will wind up bigger and more powerful than ever if Congress passes another TARP. And so, he does nothing, and lets the vampire squid take the medicine they so richly deserve.
The problem is, the rest of us go down, too. The Great Recession of 2008 is replaced by something more akin to 1929. Unemployment reaches levels not seen in 90 years.
Isn’t that, in and of itself, enough reason not to vote for Sanders?
