Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, an adamant advocate for a real healthcare reform, has been vocal about holding Wall Street accountable for the recent market crash since the very beginning. Now, after a scandal with head of Citigroup’s energy-trading unit Andrew J. Hall, who had allegedly been promised $100 million in bonuses, Sanders is growing even more indignant and impatient with bankers and financiers and yet again calls for more responsibility on their part. “What we need is a new type of Wall Street, a Wall Street that is not interested in bubble economics, in quick speculations but a Wall Street that wants to invest in America, in our rural economy, rebuilding our manufacturing, creating descent paying jobs, and not just enriching a handful of people who are already extremely wealthy,” concludes Sanders.
