Bernie Sanders blasts ‘unfettered free trade’ as stock market reels and investors panic

Only hours after delivering a stem-winder speech in New Hampshire blasting income inequality created by economic policies that help the rich get richer while the poor stay poor, Democratic presidential contender Sen Bernie Sanders (I) ripped into “unfettered free trade” that is devastating workers.

On Twitter this morning, Sanders wrote: “The results are in. Unfettered free trade has been a disaster for working Americans. It is high time we ended our disastrous trade policies.”

Sander’s tweet came as investors panicked in what some are calling “Black Monday,” with the Dow Jones dropping a 1,000 points this morning, the worst meltdown since 2008.

While small investors were in a frenzy- selling off their nest egg before it disappears only to have large institutional investors swoop in and scoop up stocks at bargain prices – Sanders pointed out that the U.S. has never seen so much income inequality, dating back to 1928 – the year before the stock market crash launched the Great Depression, according to the Concord Monitor.
