William Capps on Budget & Economy

Keep an eye on the multinational banks

[Recent economic legislation] was overkill on the financial industry in America. The too-large-to-fail, financial industries, were the ones who failed this county not your small and local banks. We need to modify the law to maintain fairness with the small and local banks, but keep an eye on the multinational banks. Source: Email interview with OnTheIssues on 2012 Senate race , Sep 28, 2011
