Just ask Hillary Clinton how to break up banks

Mike Schmidt @mikereedschmidt
How would you go about breaking up a bank under current law? Just ask @HillaryClinton. #wonk http://nydn.us/1S1fP1O

Hillary was so impressive and detailed with the NYDN, I was expecting HER to produce Bernie's tax returns.

An ex-president still needs to make a living at $250,000 per speech.

If after sliming Bernie, she would have to be an idiot not to call in her team of lobbyists to come up with a plausible answer, while hiding the fact that she is happy to allow the banking monopoly to continue to suck up[ all of the economy.

Facts are cheap and easily won. Ever hear of Google?

We don't need leaders with facts at hand (even when they were told those facts 5 seconds ago by an advisor), we need leaders with judgment and ethics.

10. I really don't think Bernie is up to the job

When you put him next to Hillary, it's not even close.

Just assuming he would hire competent people isn't good enough for me. Maybe he gets good people, maybe he doesn't. I feel a lot more comfortable when the person in charge is as knowledgable as possible.
