Bernie Sanders (I): "Break 'em up"

Bush did cut taxes and at the same time started a $3 trillion dollar war. Now I'm all for less money to gov't waste but sometimes you have to use your brain.
who didn't use their brain and about what exactly. You clean forgot to say dear.

Bad president, period.

I'm sure the Kurds would disagree and so would all the little girls who got acid thrown in the faces for going to school! Those wars seemed as hopeless as our Revolution was!!!


We can thank him for the gigantic government spy machine too (how's that for small gov't?).

dear, conservatives generally don't believe in a small militaries and they generally do like avoiding more 9/11's.

It pays to think before you write

With the brain quote was referring to Bush's thinking (not you).

So, let me get this straight, the methodology for preventing another 9/11 is to start a war with a country in the Middle East that wasn't responsible for... 9/11.... and kill hundreds of thousands of their people? :eek: I mean, Saddam Hussein apparently hated Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

I need an explanation on that logic Ed...

You're speaking of neocons, not old guard conservatives.

It pays to recognize that very real distinction.
 
hope he can't be bought/the banksters haven't gotten to him yet :(

What if Sherrod Brown, Battler Against 'Too-Big-to-Fail' Banks, Gets Banking Committee Chair? | The Nation
Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown has for years battled to break up “too-big-to-fail” banks, arguing, “American taxpayers don’t want us to wait until another crisis develops. They want us to ensure that Wall Street megabanks will never again monopolize our nation’s wealth or gamble away the American Dream.”

Now, as the US Senate looks to reshuffle its most powerful posts following the 2014 election, Brown is a serious contender to take over as chair of the Senate Banking Committee.
 
They want us to ensure that Wall Street megabanks will never again monopolize our nation’s wealth or gamble away the American Dream.”

too stupid!! Many banks went under; the rest almost did when they got stuck with bad mortgages!! The lessons were learned, owners were wiped out, careers were ruined years ago and no one needs idiotic libturds showing up to the rescue years after the fact!! It's so pathetically stupid there are no words for it!!

Libturds are so blinded by their blind Marxist hatred of business that they forget to think completely!!

Edward, what you fail to address is that the primary reason our financial markets collapsed was fraud. Without fraud, mortgages would not have been given to people who couldn't afford them, and without fraud banks would not be knowingly selling shit mortgage backed securities to their unwitting customers. It was an illegal activity that went unpunished.

I'm all for Capitalism, but you seem to ignore the fact that it was crony capitalism that got us to where we are today.

Do you support this? Are you unaware of it? Just trying to figure out your story...

You never get tired of being stupid and liberal do you?? There was no fraud since history indicated very very clearly that real estate only went up in value. Therefore, even if the homeowner could not make the payments he could sell and make money for himself the bank and who over bought the mortgage.
Too stupid if the banks knew they were bad mortgages they would not have taken ownership of them and half of them would not have gone bankrupt holding them!!

Also, if you say the banks committed fraud then so did the homeowners since they should have known better than anyone what they could afford! As if only bankers want to make money!! Half the homes were bought by speculators!!


See why we say slow, so very very slow!!

Ed Miliband vows bank break up
"Of course, financial services are an important industry in itself. But for an industry that calls itself a 'service', it has been an incredibly poor servant of the real economy," he said in his address to the University of London.

We have the same problem here. Banks are more interested in "high frequency trading" and not building this great nation up from Main St but rather just suck the life blood from Main St to enrich Wall St.

High-Frequency Trading - The New York Times

WAKE UP AMERICA!!! :mad: :eusa_wall:

don't answer a question w/ a question :thup:

Heres one small reason they shouldn't be paying sub sustenance-level wages:

Bernie Sanders says Walmart heirs own more wealth than bottom 40 percent of Americans
Six members of the Walton family appear on the Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Americans. Christy Walton, widow of the late John Walton, leads the clan at No. 6 with a net worth of $25.3 billion as of March 2012. She is also the richest woman in the world for the seventh year in a row, according to Forbes. Here are the other five:

No. 9: Jim Walton, $23.7 billion
No. 10: Alice Walton, $23.3 billion
No. 11: S. Robson Walton, oldest son of Sam Walton, $23.1 billion
No. 103: Ann Walton Kroenke, $3.9 billion
No. 139: Nancy Walton Laurie, $3.4 billion

That’s a grand total of $102.7 billion for the whole family.

See, Liberals love subsidies. They only hate the ones that go to business and people unfriendly to them. I hate all subsidies.

If the Walmart heirs owned 10x that amount and 10x that amount of people were living under bridges and in their cars, this wouldn't budge the right wing attitute at least on this board. Profit in whatever form must be served first. They can't see beyond that b.s. no way Jose.

I bet Sanders would like to "break up banks". He used to be Bernie Sanders (S) for socialist until he found out a socialist couldn't get much funding. The freaking hypocrite takes capitalist funding for a campaign designed to overthrow capitalism. Who in their right mind votes for this jerk?
The flaw in your reasoning is the simple fact that there is no intention to overthrow capitalism in Sanders' platform, nor have those who support him have any such ambition. Capitalism is a good system but it needs certain socialist regulations to prevent it from feeding on itself -- as it is doing right now in the U.S.

The banks and Wall Street must be brought under control and that's what Bernie would do, which is why he is the best hope for America. So I respectfully suggest you look more closely at what he stands for. He is not what you think he is.
 
Bernie Sanderski is to central banking what neocon windbags like Newt Gingrich are to the welfare state: They don't want to eliminate these failures, they merely believe that they are the ones best equipped to manage the central planner scams.
His name is Sanders, not "Sanderski." So don't let your anti-Semitic inclination or your irrational fear of a resurgence of Soviet-style communism influence your thinking. Bernie Sanders is the best hope for America in the entire U.S. Government.

Liberals love subsidies, liberals are beta , conservatives are alpha. Man you sure think you got people pegged. Ever take any psychology or sociology classes in a local college? You might have some fun arguing your world view with a professor with a phd. in either of those fields.
You know both sides get subsidies but for whatever reasons repubs or conservatives only focus on the poor. The Walmart heirs can get along just fine without subsidies. Not so for the needy and yes there is a certain amount of abuse and fraud but it's really minimal. Being a business owner in minority and low income neighborhoods on and off for decades I can tell you that there are many people that couldn't make it without some subsidies. Can't make it like they would have to live in cars or under bridges, some with children.
