The MOST imprtant component of your plan... bvar22 Jul 2015 #132
I'm sorry but you have not explained just why we cannot break up our big banks. zeemike Jul 2015 #133
One reason is that Florida (for example) has 200 billion in employee retirement in those banks. Sancho Jul 2015 #134
So what you are saying is they hold us hostage. zeemike Jul 2015 #135
No, they don't steal the money... Sancho Jul 2015 #136

Link to her position? grahamhgreen Jul 2015 #105
Hillary is aware that breaking up US Banks will accomplish nothing. Sancho Jul 2015 #74
The banks have gotten even bigger than they azmom Jul 2015 #78
But the big money is already offshore... Sancho Jul 2015 #81
Why the hell did we bail them out then? azmom Jul 2015 #84
It was a compromise - and it worked in part. Sancho Jul 2015 #85
We bailed them out because they azmom Jul 2015 #87
Would it prevent them from being "too big to fail"? Yes or no. grahamhgreen Jul 2015 #106

it sure as hell IS an issue ibegurpard Jul 2015 #89
What do you "deliver," not "propose" aspirant Jul 2015 #92
In other words, you can refute what I said and raise that canard instead. LOL. stevenleser Jul 2015 #95
"in other words" aspirant Jul 2015 #98
I translated your words perfectly. Raising canard = you gave up. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #99
Are you a translator too? aspirant Jul 2015 #101
Yup. You make it easy when you deviate from the topic to attack me personally. It means stevenleser Jul 2015 #103
