Not a matter of if BUT WHEN the Big Banks will fail aka Walking off the financial cliff with Clinton


Why Bernie's plan is ESSENTIAL.

The top 20 banks and roughly 5-10 other corporations in allied fields like insurance are so interconnected so that WHEN the next one fails it will cause a global systemic crisis EVEN IF we bail them out.

Have you started to realize that a corrupt system breeds incompetence?

starting to connect the dots on how all this affects them. They have lost jobs, homes, retirement. When this happens again and it will happen again there will be a revolt. We will see many politicians lose their jobs.
