(893 posts)89. Hillary Criticizes Bernie's Plan to Break Up Her Friends' Banks
There was a very good reason Hillary tried to sully Bernie Sander's speech today before it happened. It's because she is bought and paid for, and Hillary doesn't want her bankster friends to risk their own damned money in high-risk investments. A good take here...
Hillary Criticizes Bernie's Plan to Break Up Her Friends' Banks
Summary:
Hillary Clinton asserts it will be unfair to her bankster friends if they cannot steal money from the commercial bank accounts of regular Americans to make extremely risky investments, because then they would lose their own money for making poor business decisions and not get to stick taxpayers with the bill.
Summarizes it quite nicely, I think.
WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Earlier today, Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized rival U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont for "picking on" her bankster friends who run the financial institutions responsible for the 2008 economic crisis. Clinton took serious issue with Sanders' plan to break up commercial and investment banks, because that would prevent her bankster pals from using the bank deposits of regular Americans to make extremely risky investments and stick American taxpayers with the bill when they lose big.

"I really think my plan to charge banks a few menial fines and tell them to 'cut it out' every once in a while will be far more effective than Bernie Sanders' plan to actually address serious lapses in financial regulation that place the American economy at risk of meltdown every day," explained Clinton.
