http://www.usatoday.com/story/money...wall-street-support-hillary-clinton/30781705/ in fact, Clinton has rejected the idea of reintroducing a Glass-Steagall Act to separate commercial banks from investment banking, saying the issue is "more complicated" than that — echoing excuses by the Obama administration for not following through on more aggressive financial reform.
One of the things making it "complicated" might be the unstinting support Clinton is getting from Wall Street........ Her top advisers include two former investment bankers who have a history of being soft on financial regulation. Both held high positions in Clinton's State Department and would be obvious candidates for cabinet posts in a new Clinton administration.
Tom Nides, a veteran of Morgan Stanley and a former chairman of the main financial services lobbying group Sifma (Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association), was deputy secretary of state under Clinton.
Robert Hormats, a longtime vice chairman at Goldman Sachs and currently vice chair of Kissinger Associates, was an under secretary during Clinton's tenure at State.
It was President Bill Clinton, let us not forget, who brought Goldman Sachs co-chairman Robert Rubin and his coterie of Wall Streeters into his administration and championed the financial deregulation that led to the 2008 financial crisis.
Hillary Clinton may have many things to recommend her as a presidential candidate, but Wall Street reform is not one of them. Voters who think this country needs reform beyond what a hobbled Dodd-Frank act can deliver will have to look elsewhere.
