This article has convinced me to pledge my support to Hillary, unless Paul Ryan says he will close the wage gap, balance the budget, eliminate loopholes, and de-regulate to spark economic growth. No more details, please.

Considering Glass Steagall meant nothing by the end...

It's like a unicorn to the far left and the LaRouchists... it made no difference, was gamed almost from the start.

Senator Dorgan of North Dakota warned that bad things would happen within 10 years of the repeal, and they sure did. Are you calling him and John McCain far leftists?

Putting herself in prison would be a good place to start

The fact that she is supportive of Dodd-Frank prove she's a total fraud and shill for Wall Street.

Yeah, yeah. Please remember the quote of the decade:

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies.

Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, 'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.

Americans deserve better."

Most people who are vehemently in favor of reinstating Glass-Steagall also don't know what it is.

The fact that she is supportive of Dodd-Frank prove she's a total fraud and shill for Wall Street.

Huh

Dodd-Frank imposed greater regulation on Wall Street that helps prevent another situation like the 2008 financial crisis.  The Republicans who want to repeal Dodd-Frank and deregulate finance are the shills for Wall Street.

Are you drunk?  Jesus, dude, I think Dodd-Frank was a misguided and frankly stupid piece of legislation that didn't attack the heart of the problem and instead imposed several cost-adding regulations on businesses who didn't break the rules while allowing those who did a slap on the wrist and some more reporting costs, but did you just actually suggest that someone who supports Dodd-Frank is a "shill for Wall Street," or am I losing my sh&t?

The election is becoming clear. Hillary has plans, Bernie has a (very respectable) agenda, and the GOP has a crusade.
