WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- The U.S. Federal Reserve is under political attack in part due to massive amounts of aid given to the financial sector, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders said.
"People are frightened. How do you explain to them that the Fed has spent $2 trillion to help many of the same banks that got us into this crisis in the first place?" Sanders, Ind-Vt., asked, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
