2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: OMG! Shut Barney Frank up! Anybody see him vs Reich today? [View all]Barney in once sentence accused Sanders of not knowing what he was talking about regarding breaking up the banks because he didn't mention GlassSteagall Act, and without so much as a pause said that the GlassSteagall Act did not have anything to do with breaking up the banks.
Then later when Barney was going on about how it wasn't the 'size' of the banks that caused the problem, it was their 'debt', Robert made him look like a fool again by pointing out that with 'size' comes political influence, so Big Banks have both financial and political risks to deal with, not just 'debt'.
Franks then actually decided to go even deeper down the spin-hole and accused the little banks of having all the political influence in Washingotn, not the big banks.
Really? The little banks are the problem? or to paraphrase: "WHAAA, WHAAA, Leave the Big Banks A Loan"
