Sometimes Reddit comes up with some pretty good stuff.

1. Breaking up the Big Banks will help prevent a future economic collapse that will make 2008 pale in

comparison.

[On the Road]

12. Did Having Thousands of S&Ls

prevent the savings and loan crisis?

This has always seemed like a misplaced priority. What Obama's financial team has done in shoring up the bank industry's reserves is much more important to avoiding a future 2008.

15. Did the savings and loan crisis threaten the world's economy....

and require a massive federal bailout?

[On the Road]

18. How is Having 40 Banks on the Brink of Failure

better than having four?

[roguevalley]

21. bad leadership and size made them fail. break them up

[daleanime]

23. What percentage of the economy?

I won't ask why it's hard to understand, I think I can make a reasonable guess. But you have a lovely day anyways.

[jwirr]

20. Not to mention that the S&L banks were investment banks

and the people who put their money in them knew they were investing in a possible risk. The rest of us who wanted nothing to do with Wall Street had our money in the commercial banks. NOT so today.

2. Even one of the Fed Chairmans...I think from Minnesota...wrote an amazing article

about why the banks Should be broken up. Very interesting reading from a financial insider. Hopefully someone can find the link.

8. Thank you. I'm sure Bernie will be able to work this in his stump speeches.

It's a long read, but to understand more about how big money works and why it's such a major plank in Bernie's philosophy, and why common folk/i.e. the disappearing Middle Class, need his help, it's important.

[merrily]

3. Breaking up big banks would help the "too big to fail" problem. They're bigger than ever.

4. Counting on supporters to lack critical thinking skills?

What she said is the very essence of trying to make everything into a "single issue", in way. In some sort of reverse.

[stillwaiting]

5. Protector of the corrupt and dangerous financial status quo. That she is. nt

[mhatrw]

7. If we stopped all murderers tomorrow, would that end racism? would that end sexism?

QED. Who really cares about stopping murderers?

[whatchamacallit]

9. "How will curing cancer end racism and sexism?"

[beedle]

10. We're all going to die anyway, so what does it matter?

Vote Hillary; Vote despair and hopelessness.

[PWPippin]

11. Required viewing -

the movie "The Big Short", a two hour ad for Bernie.

[LittleGirl]

19. I hear Michael Moore's "Where to Invade Next"

is another. recommend the big short indeed, haven't seen the Invade next movie yet.

[Uncle Joe]

13. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Jester Messiah.

16. My pleasure, UJ! [nt]

[Fuddnik]

14. Do I hear barking?

[gregcrawford]

17. What a monumentally asinine comparison

There is not even a correlation, let alone any hint of causation, between racism, sexism, and the existence of big banks, so it is an absurdly false equivalency.

Christ, the woman is suffocating in her own word salad.

[frylock]

22. She actually said that?

That is pathetic. Has she outlined her plans to eradicate racism and sexism?

[Hydra]

24. Sure, it will magically go away when she's elected

She'll be the first woman President(actually, just in the US, but that's the most important part of the world, isn't?), so sexism will immediately be dealt a fatal blow. Then she'll tell the racists to do...something. She hasn't specified.

That's about the extent of the plan that she's chosen to share with us.

[Vote2016]

25. kicked and rec'd

[dchill]

26. She's running against herself, isn't she?
