History lesson

Bernie, in Iowa:

In railing against billionaires and Wall Street, Sanders hurled a dig at Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. At Saturday’s Democratic debate, the former secretary of state said “everybody should” love her in response to a question about whether corporate America should love her. Sanders, who rarely calls her out by name, used that statement Monday to position himself as a friend of the common man and an enemy of Wall Street, billionaires and corporate America.

“I don’t need to be loved by everybody. … I don’t need Wall Street’s love,” Sanders said.

It’s getting to be ancient history, I suppose, and therefore safely forgotten, but perhaps the greatest Democratic president had this to say on the subject:

Not much has changed since then. More accurately, we have, in no small part thanks to Hillary’s husband, it’s sad to say, reverted to the type of society that FDR managed to turn around for a generation.
