Prior to the financial crisis, banks were not a subject of political or public ire or focus. They were just companies. The biggest banks were east-coast and west-coast behemoths. When they lobbied, it was largely in coordination with the nation’s smaller community banks. While the smaller community banks have historically represented the political spectrum of the communities they serve, the Too-Big-To-Fail (TBTF) banks were aligned with Democrats, being headquartered in the “bluer” states of New York and California. As a result, the Democrats, and especially the Clintons, have always relied on the big banks to support their agenda, and in turn, they have enthusiastically supported the big bank’s agenda.

In other news, water is wet.
 
Meanwhile, Trump does not own lots of money to banks or other lenders, and is not corrupt? He didn't regularly use political wealth-driven connections for personal gain, like the tax breaks virtually all of his projects got? Trump won't support big bank agendas?



I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but I actually am amazed that people on the right keep saying we should vote Trump because Hillary is a liar and corrupt. Yeah, maybe, BUT TRUMP IS EVEN WORSE. It doesn't make any sense to use those criteria as a basis for attack.



But then, neither does supporting that turd enchilada.

I usually let this type of triade to pass, because at this point if you are this clueless about such matter, no amount of info can really save you. And yet clearly the source and you who posted this do belong in a entirely different category.

First of you are talking about Glass-Steagall Act and its repeal by Republican Congress Gramm-Leach Bliley Act n 1999. Glass Steagall was designed to prevent collaboration Goldman Sachs Fraud and also allow banks that FDIC insured to start trading CDS and increase their risk assessment from 12X to 40X. Which means they can play and gamble for for FDIC insured found upto 40X of their liquidation value.

Congressmen Phil Gramm (R-Texas), Jim Leach (R-Iowa) and Thomas J. Bliley, Jr. (R-Virginia). The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act tore down the regulatory framework that would have helped protect against the sub-prime mortgage bubble and the speculation that led to a collapse of the market where speculators traded the "derivative" securities that were created from those sub-prime mortgages.

Granted both Parties were implicit in tearing down the regulatory framework, but lets not forget who introduced and pushed for the bill and under what banner.

lol... No one said it was a "crime" or "sneaky." It's that he eviscerated one of his own lines of attack. It doesn't make a lot of sense to blast your opponent for being in cahoots with the "very fine banks" that have lent you money for decades.

Banking is a whores market and you go where you get the best terms. Cahoots? Are you in cahoots with your grocery store?

Not illegal nor immoral. Trump OTOH.

Using her position as Sec of State to get a deal done that brought in lots of money to her families foundation an argument could certainly be made of illegality.
As for morality I don't see anything about the Clintons as moral.
 
The big banks own our government period. There is a reason why the same cronies are in Obama's cabinet as were in Bush's as will be in Hillary's and yes even Trumps.
