Fox 44 - Burlington and Plattsburgh News, Weather and Sports - Fox44.net | Sanders Wants to Block Bailout Payments: "U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is saying he'll introduce legislation to block payment of the second half of the Wall Street rescue package passed in October.
The Vermont independent opposed the $700 billion financial industry bailout when it passed, and now is hoping to limit it to half that amount.
Sanders is worried that the Bush administration is not spending the first half of the bailout package the way Congress intended. He says the money would be better spent creating jobs by rebuilding America's infrastructure and investing in renewable energy, rather than by keeping troubled financial institutions solvent."
Go Bernie! Let's support him!
