Dems continued

9:51

Big Banks

Sanders doesn't take monies from Big Banks - they have entirely too much power over the economy and financing of all aspects of America's political life. 

Clinton - We disagree about President Obama for his donations from Wall Street. President Obama has lead the USA out of the worst recession - President Obama pushed through the Dodd Frank and signed it and I support and defend President Obama. 

Sanders - I worked for the election and re-election of President Obama. "Can we really reform Wall Street when they are paying billions for elections..." He opposes the enormous speaking fees they pay to politicians.

Clinton - I have a plan that most commentators have stated builds on the Dodd-Frank and takes on shadow banking and hedge funds. The big banks and Karl Rove are attacking her for her policies. 

O'Malley states he has put forward legislation that works. I believes there is a big difference between all three candidates. He doesn't believe Clinton goes as far as he does. He wants a form of Glass-Steagall put back.

Clinton - She states Martin O'Malley has taken a lot of money from Wall Street. 

Sanders - He is correct. Goldman Sachs puts their employees into government to influence the outcomes of decisions. It is interesting to realize the number of Goldman Sachs employees have served in government to influence financial outcomes.

Clinton - List of untrustworthy votes by Sanders regarding Wall Street. The Republicans want to repeal Dodd Frank and give them more power within the government policies.

Sanders - Wall Street invest in politicians so they get off their backs. They need to have the US Government back on their case to protect Americans.

I want to rebuild our infrastructure and improve this country rather than letting Wall Street to offshore monies. I want our kids to have a better future. He stands for many things and sees no reason why the wealthy are not paying their way in this country.

Clinton - child care paid family leave bring down student debt and that will come out of the pockets of the wealthy. 

Middle Class Taxes

Sanders - Medicare for all will substantially lower the cost to middle class families. We are doing away with health insurance premiums - that middle class families will save $5000 per year on health care. 

There are issues for the Dems to discuss the BALANCE SHEET for expenditures. That should not be an issue. Dems are used to paying as they go. Republicans are very irresponsible when it comes to paying for the legislature they pass. Two wars were completely unpaid for and they have the nerve to say they have the answer for balancing the national budget.

I missed O'Malley's response.

Climate Change 

You Tube about carbon. The fight against climate change is made more difficult by Republicans.

Sanders - Christmas Eve 68 degrees. People know what is going on. The debate is over. It is causing major problems and a bad situation is becoming worse. The Republicans don't have the decency to listen to the scientists. Trump states it is a plot by the Chinese.  Sustainable energy and he has comprehensive legislation in the Senate.

O'Malley wants a 100 percent electric energy grid by 2050. 

Hillary didn't get a chance to respond. Anyone I know already knows Hillary will be demanding vast improvements to move off fossil fuels.
