He really lays it out, and he names names--Goldman Sachs, UBS, and Citibank making huge profits from "managing" Puerto Rico's Vulture Fund debt.

This is a fantastic speech!

By understanding how Vulture Funds and Wall Street shit on Puerto Rico, we can better understand not only what they have done to other countries (Argentina comes to mind, also Jamaica, Greece and many others), but what they want to do HERE--have in truth already done in some cities and states, and intend to do more of: destroy public education, health care and all public services, enslave workers and replace democracy with oligarchy, by utilizing debt mechanisms to utterly destroy government itself.

Learn about it. Bernie gives a detailed explanation of the shit going down in Puerto Rico--who is doing it and what its impacts are--for instance, closure of one hundred and fifty public schools. Flint, Michigan, comes to mind as well. This is what happens when the U.S. government gives a trillion dollars to criminal banksters all over the world, and another trillion to war profiteers, and lets a U.S. city under secretive debt 'management' destroy its children's brains with poisoned water.

It's happening HERE.
