This Week: Graham Open to Nationalizing Banks. NY Senator Schumer, NY Rep. Peter King, not so much. |

1. Im not surprised that two Congressmen from NY dont want it |
|
(Even if they are Democrats)
They've long been too cozy with the big bankers on Wall Street.
But I'll be damned if I understand why Graham would want it, as I would have thought it would violate the free market tenant the GOP is (in)famous for if he didnt actually think it was the path towards socialism that they always use as a shield to protect their big moneyed backers.

3. Graham doesn't like nationalization. Nobody does. But it would put taxpayers before bankers. |

2. Chucky's Defending The Bankers, As Always |

It would be nice if he spent as much effort on the middle class as he does on preserving tax breaks for the megawealthy.
Thanks for linking to the video.
