Bernie Sanders to take on oil speculators.

I can't find a link for this yet but I just heard on ABC World News Now that Sanders will be introducing legislation soon to curb excessive speculation in the oil markets. There was a whole article on this but it is not up at the site yet.

I will continue to try to find a link. I'm happy to see that someone is willing to poke a hole in the notion that the market should be unfettered.

Not ABC but this is essentially what they reported.

the republicans will block it and the msm will not report on it.

It's infuriating. But, that said, I'm glad he's doing it.
