Bernie would change that if given the opportunity.



What presidential candidates promise and what presidents deliver are often very different.


Still, if Bernie did manage to get elected, that would be a clear message to the SEC that the public supports a more vigorous enforcement policy.

Even if all he does is make Hillary very nervous before losing the primary to her, I would hope that would still get the SEC's attention as well as hers.


We thought the same about Obama and then he turned 180 on us.

Bernie has a history favoring weapon makers from his own state as well as going after people using his logo, so we can be pretty sure that given the opportunity it will not all be as wonderful as he promises.

And who knows what they have collected about him in the meantime. There must have been a reason why Obama turned 180 so suddenly, as soon as he was in office.


So what if that knocks, say 2% off GDP growth?
