170 top economists agree with Sanders

On breaking up the big banks and reinstating Glass-Steagall. So much for the faux misdirection that he doesn't know about economics. Signatories listed. An excerpt:

"In our view, Sen. Bernie Sanders’ plan for comprehensive financial reform is critical for avoiding another 'too-big-to-fail' financial crisis. The Senator is correct that the biggest banks must be broken up and that a new 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act, separating investment from commercial banking, must be enacted. Wall Street’s largest banks are now far bigger than they were before the crisis, and they still have every incentive to take excessive risks."
"Secretary Hillary Clinton’s more modest proposals do not go far enough. They call for a bit more oversight and a few new charges on shadow banking activity, but they leave intact the titanic financial conglomerates that practice most shadow banking. As a result, her plan does not adequately reduce the serious risks our financial system poses to the American economy and to individual Americans. Given the size and political power of Wall Street, her proposals would only invite more dilution and finagle."
