GOP establishment pundit: 'Break up the banks!'

Here we have none other than George "I do protest too much I like baseball" Will coming out in favor of breaking up the TBTF banks, albeit four years too late.

His coming to Jesus on this issue should give sufficient "intellectual" cover to conservatives to get behind it.

But getting conservatives on board is just the beginning. The real battle is overcoming the lobbying $ might of the TBTF banks, who are like the mythical giant Argus with 100 eyes that never stop watching Congress and bank supervisors for an instant. So far, the big banks have cared way more about keeping TBTF intact than we have about breaking it up. That's gotta change. And we've got to get $ money and candidates behind the effort.

Time to break up the big banks
