Wall Street expert shocks CNBC as he states Bernie Sanders is best for economy (VIDEO) [View all]

Asher Edelman founded Mack, Bushnell, and Edelman in 1969, and served as CEO. Edelman’s Wall Street businesses included investment banking, money management, and derivatives trading. In 1988, he taught a course called “Corporate Raiding – The Art of War” at Columbia Business School, using as his textbook Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. The character of Gordon Gekko in Wall Street was based in part on Edelman.

Asher Edelman, a Wall Street financial expert, explains with economics in very simple term why Bernie Sander is better for the economy. It was evident that he caught some of the wards of the plutocracy on the panel by surprise.

One of the panelists confronted Edelman’s past statements that America has been in a recession for 15 years. His response was irrefutable.

“I think it is pretty straightforward,” Asher Edelman said. “The average American has not had an increase in pay in over fifteen years. But things cost more in the marketplaces. He has been in a recession for fifteen years. Nothing’s changed for him. On the top, we are not in a recession. But eighty percent of Americans have been in a recession for at least fifteen years.”

One of the panelists then stated that nobody realizes we are in a recession. Adelman hit back. “Who is your nobody,” Adelman asked. Another panelist attempted to come to her rescue implying that Adelman was trying an economic justice argument and not a strictly economic argument.
