How Bernie Sanders Could Break Up the Big Wall Street Banks

[Katzndogz]

The size of the banks is not the issue

Bingo!!!
Banks should have to separate their normal banking operations from their investment divisions and establish them as separate entities. The consumer and business sides should also be separate entities.

You mean like they used to be before democrats started tinkering?

Even poor folks who are Right Wing support big banks, big pharma, big oil, none of which do a damn thing for them.

And democrats who promise all kinds of free shit, never come through on those promises, do what?
According to your side, all poverty should have been eliminated by social spending.
And? Your excuse is?

We have a winner!!!!
Thanks..
Funny thing how the committees were run by democrat majorities or had safe haven with a democrat POTUS for 40 years, instituted policies by which these mega banks were permitted to emerge.
And now of course the democrats are lamenting their decisions and of course laying blame at the feet of.....wait for it....The GOP....
Meanwhile, the dems will take every dime of campaign contributions and PAC money they can get their hands on from the very people and entities they curse.

How is that when 'Too BIG to Fail' is the whole point?

Why do we want the government screwing with the banks or any other private industry? Haven't we screwed our economy enough?

ummm..... because the too big to fail banks of 2008 are even bigger now since they acquired the banks that failed? You like taxpayer-financed bailouts eh?

They need to be broken-up to the size that their failure wont bring down the entire economy like it came perilously close to doing in '08

Excellent summation; when they dont need $4 trillion to keep our economy afloat then they cease to be a threat to our national security.

Well, let's ask George Bush and Barack Obama why they bailed out the banks, shall we?

ummm..... because they were too big to fail you moron. That why breaking them up is needed so they never have this great nation over a barrel again

Define "breaking them up".....

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Bernie has never held any real job of importance. In wouldn't expect him to know how to fix anything other than to espouse his love of Marxism. Not a real sharp tool in the barn.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Oh they fixed the banks....its called bail in......now they want cashless society so the banks take will be even larger..........

BUT THE BERN HAS A PLAN!!!!!

Ah, I see.....so then tell me this: If that were the case - why didn't either of those two clowns break them up while "the iron was hot"? Hmmm?

I'll gladly answer for you.... Because this is a Capitalist society and, as it should be, it's not illegal to "get big" - or didn't you know that? However, were it me - I would have let them go belly up - as they SHOULD have done. True Capitalism would dictate that.

 

[whitehall]

Why would you want to use the federal government to "break up" Wall Street banks? Because it sounds so cool to neo-socialists?

Bernie is popular because he is perceived as being harmless.

Only by fools.

I agree. he would destroy this nation.

Most people don't get it, its the politicians corrupting business not the other way around.

Yeah, because politicians are going to bankers and businessmen and saying, 'How would you like a free trip to the Bahamas?'

If you don't like banks you have several options

1) don't bank with them
2) limit the governments power so that they have no reason to buy politicians.
3) elect honest politicians

Giving them power to regulate banks is going to ensure more corruption goes on as banks have reason to buy them for favorable legislation.

There is no such thing as too big to fail.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Being that Wall Street owns the federal government, this is never going to happen.

Soooo..... you have no issue w/ monopolies?

So your argument is reduced to "You are right but it'll never happen"

Is that the gist of it?

Because Repubs, and many of the Dems (they're two sides of the same coin) are owned by wall st you dweeb. Lock, stock, and barrel. Gawd but you're dumb.

Better to let the Banksters slowly bleed us dry. Is that your argument Sugar Tits?
