*Clean Energy workforce would create 10 million jobs. [https://berniesanders.com/issues/climate-change/ (BSWCC)]

===Wall Street===

*"Check the record. In the 1990s — and all due respect — in the 1990s, when I had the Republican leadership and Wall Street spending billions of dollars in lobbying, when the Clinton administration, when Alan Greenspan said, "what a great idea it would be to allow these huge banks to merge," Bernie Sanders fought them, and helped lead the opposition to deregulation."
