Dorgan - "Too Big to fail is too big and should be broken up". and.."Dodd Frank is too weak"

http://billmoyers.com/ - Moyers and Company - watching on our PBS as I type this.

I am learning much from watching Moyers tonight. Dorgan called this mess in 1999 - superb interview with him on the show (be sure to watch it if you can).

Another tidbit - the banking industry is outspending other lobbying efforts 25:1 to try to get rid of even Dodd Frank.

Moyers is hitting it out of the park in this episode.

Chart to end the shot - shows increases in income of the top 1% - over 250% - between 1979 and 2006.

Way too much for me to summarize....and now it is nearing time for bed - and now I find myself incredibly pissed off again.....
