Here’s a great video of a brief exchange between Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner discussing the details of the bailout. While there are some important and valid criticisms of Sen. Sanders regarding his support for nativist, reactionary policies against immigrants recently, in this video he does rightly challenge Geithner and the new Obama administration over whether they will hold the very Wall Street executives responsible for the current crisis accountable to the American taxpayer.
The Treasury Secretary does his best avoiding Sanders’ questions about whether we should change the leadership on Wall Street at this time due to their failures and the vital issue of transparency concerning where taxpayer’s money is spent.
