Blackrock and Hillary Clinton
David Dayen reporting at the Intercept on March 2nd, 2016:
BlackRock is far from a household name, but it is the largest asset management firm in the world, controlling $4.6 trillion in investor funds — about a trillion dollars more than the annual federal budget, and five times the assets of Goldman Sachs. And Larry Fink, BlackRock’s CEO, has assembled a veritable shadow government full of former Treasury Department officials at his company.
. . .
Fink’s most telling hire, however, is Cheryl Mills, arguably Clinton’s most trusted confidante. Mills was Clinton’s chief of staff at the State Department, was deputy White House counsel in the Bill Clinton administration, and is on the board of directors of the Clinton Foundation. Fink hired Mills for the BlackRock board of directors in October 2013, in what observers mused was a ploy to insinuate himself into the Clinton inner circle.

Long story short, Hillary's cabinet and WH Staff will be even more Wall Street centric than Obama's.

Nope.
It's the new, improved, reborn, revised, upgraded, renovated and above all else, enriched democratic party.
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
Victoria Shhhh!
Do not tell Paul Krugman or The NY Times! Hillary has pledged to tell them to "Knock it off!"

Thanks for bringing this to our attention
It seems that every day brings out another reason why the Clintons shouldn't get anywhere near the White House again.
She's blowing smoke up her supporter's a$$es when she tells them what they want to hear about what she would do as president.
All anyone needs to do is look at her previous actions, especially when she was SOS and all of the deals that were made between foreign governments, her state department, her foundation and the paid speeches that Bill gave
I hope people read the article at the Intercept. Those people do great investigative work.
Here's an excerpt
Read that paragraph again about Kathryn Rosen Cutting her teeth as a senior policy adviser to Barney Frank and helped him write Dodd-Frank. And remember that Hillary has praised Obama for writing 'the most comprehensive banking reform' since FDR.
What she doesn't tell us is that D-F has been gutted so much that it's basically toothless in holding the banks accountable.
Too bad Markos has decided that any information that shows Hillary in a bad light is forbidden on Kos.
But I'm guessing that even if this diary was posted there, Hillary's supporters wouldn't listen or change their minds because Bernie's plans are a pipe dream. And he's unelectable.
This girl s sickening and shows that she will suck up to the banks even more than Obama did.
Scientists are concerned that conspiracy theories may die out if they keep coming true at the current alarming rate.
No low is too low to imagine for the Clintons
The only thing worse than the idea of a GOP controlled House, Senate and White House is the Clintons with a GOP House and Senate. It will gag the minority Democrats and all opposition will be lost. They will privatize Soacial Security and cut Medicare.

Clintphoma
The US govt appears to have a terminal case of Clintphoma. Inoperable and it has spread to all the vital organs.

They have no shame
I used to wonder how people like Ms. Rodham sleep at night. I figure she has to be truly vile to be able to even close her eyes at night let alone sleep.
Clintons can tell an entire nation that the exact definition of a blow job isn't really what we think it is.
And people are still swallowing their BS.

But think of the little girls
Who can now be told that they can grow up to be anything they want to be -- as long as they don't do anything that would take money away from the greedy 1%.

We know how well trickle-down trickles down.
Oh Hillary's track record really shows what she "can get done"
A really great piece at Naked Capitalism on how good she is for the "girls"
