SANDERS WARNS THE SENATE IN 2011

Credit where credit is due. Sanders saw it coming and voted against the Panama Free Trade Agreement in October 2011.

From the Sanders Campaign:

Bernie opposed the 2011 Panama Free Trade Agreement because he was worried it would increasingly allow wealthy Americans and large corporations to evade U.S. taxes by stashing their cash in offshore tax havens.
