2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton's Take on Banks Won't Hold Up (Taibbi) [View all]Joe Turner
(930 posts)6. You got it exactly backwards
With the re-introduction of Glass-Steagall banks will have to eliminate many of the the risky investment exposure to securities and derivatives and get back to the old business of banking and lending. That makes the banking sector much more stable and that certainly reduces the chance of financial chaos. Of course rational arguments don't work toward Hillary's candidacy given her past voting record. And as for jobs, if Hillary gets elected you can bet the ranch she will welch on her recent negative position on TPP and sign it....and there goes a few million more good paying jobs.
