Tue May 10, 2016, 10:13 AM
May 2016

explanation in an interview with NYDN:

Daily News: How do you stop too big to fail? What needs to happen?

Clinton: Well, I have been a strong supporter of Dodd-Frank because it is the most consequential financial reforms since the Great Depression. And I have said many times in debates and in other settings, there is authority in Dodd-Frank to break up banks that pose a grave threat to financial stability.

There are two approaches. There's Section 121, Section 165, and both of them can be used by regulators to either require a bank to sell off businesses, lines of businesses or assets, because of the finding that is made by two-thirds of the financial regulators that the institution poses a grave threat, or if the Fed and the FDIC conclude that the institutions' living will resolution is inadequate and is not going to get any better, there can also be requirements that they do so.

So we've got that structure. Now a lot of people have argued that there need to be some tweaks to it that I would be certainly open to. But my point from the very beginning of this campaign, and it's something that I've said repeatedly: big banks did not cause the Great Recession primarily. They were complicit, but hedge funds; Lehman Brothers, an investment bank; a big insurance company, AIG; mortgage companies like Countrywide, Fannie and Freddie — there were lots of culprits who were contributing to the circumstances that led to the very dangerous financial crisis.

Hillary's position of using Dodd Frank, this is a step in the right direction. He has followed her agenda on FICA tax increases, this is good also. Hillary wants to improve on the ACA and get it to universal coverage. If one really compares the two candidates there are closer together on issues than is admitted.

I give HRC credit for her knowledge. It is a complex issue, no doubt. And one you don't simply sit down and explain how the entire process will play out, if it becomes necessary. The problem that many of us have with Hillary is not that she lacks knowledge but the will to bite the hand feeds her. But I'm sure we can count on her to go back to them to tell them to "cut it out" once again. Now that is conviction...

That the knowledge goes to waste. What's the point of having a decent idea of how to do something when she has no intention of doing it? It's political double talk. Essentially Hillary says "I know how to break them up better than Bernie" and everyone jumps on that, while ignoring the MUCH more important fact that only one of them really has the will do actually do what may need to be done while the other gives out speeches for hundreds of thousands (with no transcripts). One of them also supports reinstating Glass Steagall. The other does not. One of them embraces super pac money (while at the same time saying she'll put an end to the practice...after she's elected) while the other does not. The list goes on and on, but the real issue here is authenticity and intent. One is clear as day and one is murky at best.

Dodd Frank would break up failing banks, recently Sanders has migrated to the position Dodd Frank will break up the banks. Yes Sanders WAS saying to reinstate Glass Stegall, which was enacted 75 years ago, things has changed since then. There was the passage of the Commodities Futures Modernization Act which Sanders voted yes played a big part in the financial crisis. Does Sanders regret voting for this act? Knowledge is a good thing, is Sanders going to stick with using Dodd Frank or is he going to return to reenacting Glass Stegall which would not break up the banks. What is he going to do next.

I have no idea why Bob Dole started doing it, but I suppose Bob Dole thought it would give Bob Dole more gravitas and also subtly imprint Bob Dole's name in the public's mind.

Unfortunately, by the time Bob Dole's name was fully imprinted, Bob Dole had moved on to Viagra commercials, so Bob Dole's name became associated with something else altogether.
