regulation of the too big to fail banks now.

In 1998 because of the wto gats understanding on commitments in financial services they repealed Glass-Steagall - which eliminated a firewall that prevented banks from becoming so complex that they were "unauditable'

But that turned out to be a huge mistake.

Hillary does not seem to care about winning Bernie Democrats to her side in this election.

What in the world is her strategy with regard to Bernie Democrats?

Does she want to purge the Party of us?

That's stupid. Many of us are the hardest working of the grass-roots Democrats. It's hard to get reliable volunteers to walk and work in the heat and the cold and do it well. What in the world is she doing?

If he's working for her, he cannot work at the foundation. But, they may use Chelsea, as they groomed her to run it. Just for this reason!

36. Bill Clinton's health is not good
Mon May 16, 2016, 12:30 PM

Personal health

On September 2, 2004, while campaigning for Kerry, Clinton had an episode of angina and was evaluated at Northern Westchester Hospital. It was determined he did not suffer a coronary infarction, and he was sent home, returning the following day for angiography, which disclosed multiple vessel coronary artery disease. He was transferred to Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City, where he underwent a successful on-pump quadruple coronary artery bypass surgery on September 6, 2004. The medical team stated, had he not had surgery, he would have likely suffered a massive heart attack within a few months.[30] As a complication of his heart surgery, Clinton underwent a follow-up surgery on March 10, 2005 for a left pleural effusion, removing scar tissue and fluid from his left chest cavity.[31]

On February 11, 2010, he was rushed to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City after complaining of chest pains, and had two coronary stents implanted in his heart.[32][33][34][35] He has since recovered and become a vegan.[36]

*************

One more episode of this sort of thing, he's a goner. I know, it happened to my own Dad. It is nothing to mess around with!

Again - isn't this another shoot from the hip comment that can cost her more votes? I think it was a bad judgement call on Hillary's part to make that statement about Bill being in charge of "Revitalizing the Economy".

She keeps shooting herself in the foot. First her comment on coal before the WV primary that she had to walk back and now this.

She's her own worst enemy and that's not the kind of person I want leading my country.

Not because of what her husband will do. We need a woman like Elisabeth Waren who does not need a man to know how to fix the economy. Hillary is unbelievable in her lack of understanding and inability to campaign for the working people of this country.
