Did she ever put that out there, or are you going to pull something out of your posterior, or from the thin air?

So, either tell us her specific plans, or keep quiet, because she has no plans!

given her plan a thumbs up.

I like the iceberg analogy.

Bernie Sanders is the only one saying we've got to change course.

Hillary has something she needs to tell us- her husband's Administration tried to lock us in to bad policy- with multiple trade deals

BUT THEY DIDN'T TELL THE COUNTRY.

So its illegitimate.

.... or what's in Dodd-Frank. It depends on lo-info.

Will Hillary be making a Willy Horton ad next?

it still doesn't argue against the goal of breaking up big banks.

Sanders goals are so popular that they can't even do an attack ad without turning people on to Sanders. That's probably why strawman (distorting Sanders' positions) is their favorite counter.

... are exquisitely skilled at putting the screws to you for our own benefit."

to take seriously, Bernie needs to make this an example in his stump speech.

Great report!

Bernie's history since the 1990's on the consequences of deregulating Wall Street.

“I was one of the leading opponents of the efforts of Alan Greenspan, Robert Rubin, and Larry Summers, who all told us how wonderful it would be if we deregulated Wall Street back in the 1990s,” he said.

Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 until 2006, was a Ronald Reagan appointee; Sanders left unmentioned that Rubin and Summers both served as Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton’s husband. But he made the critique more explicitly in a May 1 interview with the Washington Post.

“I’ve known Hillary for 25 years, and I like and respect Hillary. I think it is fair to say that when the industry was deregulated by Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, Alan Greenspan during the Clinton administration, and the Secretary has received a lot of support from Wall Street, I think it is fair to say there might be a tendency to be less than vigorous in standing up to their incredible wealth and power,” he told the Post.

A spokesman for the Clinton campaign declined to comment regarding whether the candidate supports breaking up “too big to fail” institutions. more at link

Now we see why Grayson is being attacked in Florida-its a strategy to help Clinton win New York delegates. And its revenge fro Grayson's endorsement of Sanders.

Bernie is correct and does know what he's talking about. But unfortunately most people don't know shit from shinola. That's why these ignorant ads work on both sides work of the aisle. They're talking to

She proposes better and smarter regulation. From her web site:

Impose a risk fee on the largest financial institutions. Banks and financial companies would be required to pay a fee based on their size and their risk of contributing to another financial crisis.

Close the Volcker Rule’s hedge fund loophole. The Volcker Rule prohibits banks from making risky trading bets with taxpayer-backed money—one of the core protections of the post-financial crisis Wall Street reforms. However, under current law these banks can still invest billions through hedge funds, which are exempt from this rule. Hillary would close that loophole and strengthen the law.

Discourage excessive risk-taking by making senior bankers accountable. Senior managers should lose some or all of their bonus compensation when a large bank suffers losses that threaten its overall financial health.

Make sure no firm is ever too big and too risky to be managed effectively. Hillary’s plan would give regulators more authority to force overly complex or risky firms to reorganize, downsize, or break apart.

Tackle financial dangers of the “shadow banking” system. Hillary’s plan will enhance transparency and reduce volatility in the “shadow banking system,” which includes certain activities of hedge funds, investment banks, and other non-bank financial companies.

Impose a tax on high-frequency trading. The growth of high-frequency trading has unnecessarily placed stress on our markets, created instability, and enabled unfair and abusive trading strategies. Hillary would impose a tax on harmful high-frequency trading and reform rules to make our stock markets fairer, more open, and transparent.

Hillary would also hold both corporations and individuals on Wall Street accountable by:

Prosecuting individuals when they break the law. Hillary would extend the statute of limitations for prosecuting major financial frauds, enhance whistleblower rewards, and provide the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission more resources to prosecute wrongdoing.

Holding executives accountable when they are responsible for their subordinates’ misconduct. Hillary believes that when corporations pay large fines to the government for violating the law, those fines should cut into the bonuses of the executives who were responsible for or should have caught the problem. And when egregious misconduct happens on an executive’s watch, that executive should lose his or her job.

Holding corporations accountable when they break the law. As she enhances individual accountability, Hillary will make sure that corporations don’t treat penalties for breaking the law as merely a cost of doing business, so that we can put an end to the patterns of corporate wrongdoing that we see too often today.

Let's be honest, the headline is totally bogus.

She does not. But she believes Bernie doesn't have a clear and pragmatic plan for shutting down the TBTF banks.

She won't even trust the American voters with her Goldman Sachs speeches.

It works for the Banksters, and austerity for 99%

Clinton said that she would reveal her speeches, when everyone else did. Well every other DEMOCRATIC candidate did, and she is still holding out.

Thanks for the thread, GreatGazoo.
