Hillary Clinton aides' Wall Street links raise economic policy doubts
Tom Nides and Robert Hormats, once of Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, are veterans of the revolving door between Washington and the financial sector
Hormats, who has been described as Clinton’s “economic guru”, boasted of the Clinton State Department’s support of the business community in a 2013 interview. He is alsoon the record being supportive of partial privatization of social security. Hormats also touted the benefits of “widescale deregulation” in the 1990s and strongly supported increased trade with China.
Nides, in particular, has played a major role in Clinton’s current campaign. He has been one of the campaign’s top bundlers of contributions and responsible for raising over $100,000 for the former secretary of state. He has been tipped as a future White House chief of staff in a Clinton administration. Further, employees of Morgan Stanley, where Nides serves as vice-chairman, have given Clinton over $90,000 in the past quarter. This is more than every Republican candidate combined has received from the firm.
Bloody hell.

Tell Hillary Clinton to take action now
Elizabeth Warren and Tammy Baldwin are teaming up to shut down the revolving door between Wall Street and Washington -- and now is the time for Hillary Clinton to join them.

Tell Hillary Clinton to stand up against the revolving door between Wall Street and Washington
Secretary Hillary Clinton, please join Elizabeth Warren in signing on in support of Sen. Tammy Baldwin's Financial Services Conflict of Interest Act. Her bill would make it illegal for government employees to receive bonuses from former employers while on duty, and would force politicians to wait two years before returning to Washington as lobbyists.
