The proposals come just days before the first Democratic presidential debate Tuesday, and mark Clinton's latest leftward pivots as she looks to ward off a strong populist challenge from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Clinton wants to force firms that are "too large and too risky to be managed effectively to reorganize, downsize, or break apart," in the campaign's words, a move aimed at addressing "too big to fail" that echoes calls from lefties like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
She also wants to make sure that when people break the law they actually go to jail, something that rarely happened after the 2008 economic collapse.
"When people commit crimes on Wall Street, they will be prosecuted and imprisoned," the campaign declared.

She will crack down on everybody but parasites and criminals. And that’s why her supporters like her.
They shouldn’t worry too much. All they have to do is give the Clinton Foundation a $10 or $20 million donation and her crackdown will quietly go away.
how much money have those “big bad wall street firms” give toher campaign and the Clinton Foundation?
Really voters? Are you this stupid?
I have a right old laugh at the ‘daily mood’ and PR fluff that Palmieri et al come up with in their echo chamber.
If Hillary were an actress she wouldn’t get through 30 seconds of a read-through...’Thank you, we’ll be in touch.’
The media, as usual, are complicit in publicizing this as anything serious, effective, or sincere, given Hillary and the DNC in general’s arm-in-arm relationship with Wall Street.
She is just a hair away from blaming all our problems on the Jews. What craziness.

Never underestimate the power of government school education.
Let's start with the federal government
In the past these attacks on Wall Street firms would be viewed with fear by their American workers; I’m shocked at how many have been replacing those American workers with foreigners anyway (primarily Asians). One reason for the decline of the NYC area is the job losses of Americans in those firms; many of the jobs that weren’t sent overseas had their American workers replaced with foreigners anyway.
This area is filled with foreclosed homes because all of those good-paying jobs are simply gone (in terms of American workers with mortgages).
You beat me to it by 3 minutes. Well said...
She’s of course the wrong one to do it, but we should unwind some of our protections for humongous banks beyond our ability to reasonably back up.
The return of GS would be a possible start, but we really have to figure ways to keep our top banks competitive with the largest global banks, so we aren’t de facto forcing them to retreat from plum international and global markets.
That’ll take far more care and insight than Hill has ever had to offer on anything.

OMG...Hell may not have frozen over but its awfully chilly: I AGREE with her.....
She can be in the first cell....
I’m Hillaryous Rotten Criminal, I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.
And does anybody believe this for a second? Puh-leeeeze. Hillary is so tight and completely owned by Wall Street and the big investment banks that whenever they say “Jump” she says “How high?”.
Just as soon as she cashes the checks from them.
Pretty standard tactic for thugs and criminals, and thus totally expected from a Clinton.
Wall Street is being propped up by trillions of dollars of government spending.
Isn't it interesting how Wall Street was tanking in the last few weeks of September and then miraculously recovered after Congress passed a stop-gap spending measure.
That money runs out in the middle of December so be looking for a similar crash/recovery miracle.
...and what about the media conglomerates?
I don’t know how people don’t just break out in uncontrolled laughter every time she speaks about her positions. She is a walking contradiction.
