Last night while watching the election results from New Hampshire, I happened to see on the Binghamton University Facebook page that Democratic Presidential candidate and last night's winner of the New Hampshire primary, Bernie Sanders was an instructor at Binghamton University in the spring of 1990.  How cool is that!

It's true,  Bernie Sanders taught a class called Affluence and Crisis.  According to the Press and Sun Bulletin, the tenure was shortly after his two term as mayor of Burlington Vermont and before he ran for a Senate seat.  The BU class met in Chenango County -- Norwich to be exact.

As it turns out,  Bernie Sanders in 1990 sounded quite a bit like the Presidential Candidate of 2016, when he talked about "the gap between rich and poor is growing wider and wider," Sanders told a group of BU faculty and students, according to a May 1990 article in the campus' faculty newspaper. "The richest 1 percent of the population have one-half America's wealth, while the richest 10 percent control 80 percent of the wealth."
