Sanders unveils bank breakup legislation | TheHill

Get to it!

It's easy to do when you are the minority. Why didn't he do this when the Dem's held both the House, Senate and White House?

This is like the House sending bill after bill after bill to the Senate amending or ending Obamacare. Now that the (R)'s have won it back, not a one.

Reminds me of Theodore Roosevelt!

So he didn't.

While I wouldn't vote for Bernie I will say he has the same convictions as Ron Paul.

Bernie's voting record does match up to what he says.
He voted against TARP. And didn't believe in "too big to fail" back then.

He is a man of conviction just like Ron Paul.
But sadly Americans aren't looking for a man of conviction today.

Release: Sanders Bill Would Break Up Banks

Also the link that the other guy posted is about the exact same thing. I guess he just didnt realize Democrats controlled the House and Senate back then as well.

Republicans didnt take over the House until January 2011.

In one of his first legislative moves since announcing his presidential run, Sanders unveiled a bill that takes square aim at the biggest names on Wall Street. His legislation would require federal regulators to determine which financial institutions pose a risk to the economy thanks to their size and complexity, and give those firms a simple message: Break yourselves up, or the government will do it for you.

so the same regulators and experts who didnt see the collapse previously are now suddenly endowed with the wisdom to know which banks pose a risk to the economy?

When will they end the fed?

Bernie claims to be a non interventionalist. He backed Obama when he wanted to arm Isis in Syria.

He claims to be an Independent but is running for pres as a (D).

He belly ached about the Fed but then blocked Paul's effort to audit them.
