I have to say I'm not a fan of this kind of innuendo posting.  I'm 80% Minksy is waiting to drop the punchline, and it's about something worse than guns.

They all voted against TARP and for the "Audit the Fed" bill.

In this case it is all hard right wing nutbags, plus Sanders.

The Democratic establishment bought into the "too big to fail" argument, but unsurprisingly lots of the grass roots are against bailouts for banks. Bernie's campaign has been built on stuff like opposing TARP.

That's it, that's the reveal?  I personally disagree with these votes out of pragmatic reasons, but it is certainly in character for Sanders to be skeptical of both TARP and the Fed.  Both are probably necessary, but both are in the business of bailing out oligarchs under the guise that little people would be hurt as well if oligarchs had tough times.

Just confirms that both Trump & Sanders are tapping into the same discontent. It's not not much left vs right as the establishment vs outsiders.

Same reason Kucinich was always allying with Ron Paul about stuff.

Yup, pretty much. I wonder if, assuming Clinton wins this one, this will go away or just get worse until the "outsider" candidate wins?

Oh it is only going to get more intense. 2020 will be a real freak show. I have no idea where this is going to take us. A major political re-alignment is coming.

You're obviously a pretty bright guy; in fact your SAT scores were borderline acceptable.  But this is a fairly tale characterization of both TARP and the Fed.
