Sanders Calls For Wall Street Reform In Address To New York Supporters
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders addressed supporters in Midtown Tuesday night, calling for tighter regulations and accountability on Wall Street.
As 1010 WINS' Steve Kastenbaum reported, Sanders said he came to send a message to Wall Street – "enough is enough."
"If elected president, I will rein in Wall Street so they cannot crash our economy again," Sanders said.
The Vermont U.S. senator and Brooklyn native said within his first 100 days in office, he would create a list of too-big-to-fail institutions and would go on to break them up within a year "so that they no longer pose a grave threat to the economy."
Sanders also vowed to create new Glass-Steagall Act to separate commercial and investment banking.
"Not only will big banks not be too big to fail, but bigtime bankers will not be too big to jail," he said.
Sanders spoke at the Town Hall, at 123 W. 43rd St.
