A test vote in the Senate Budget Committee on Thursday showed stronger support in the chamber for breaking up big banks than had previously been suspected. Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont who identifies as a democratic socialist, introduced an amendment to the budget resolution that would pave the way for the break-ups. The legislative language was complex, but the vote was understood as a simple question: Should big banks be broken up so that they no longer pose a risk to the financial system? Eight Democrats and one Republican joined Sanders, but the measure failed by a 12-10 vote. Four Democrats opposed the amendment, standing with the big banks: Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (N.D.), Bill Nelson (D-N.D.), Mark Begich (Alaska) and Mark Warner (Va.). The vote was first reported in Thursday evening's HuffPost Hill newsletter. Eight Republicans joined the four Democrats in opposition: Sens. Judd Gregg (N.H.), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Mike Enzi (Wy.), Jeff Sess

Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) and Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI), the ranking Republican members of the Senate and House Budget Committees, were predictably critical, arguing that "waving the PAYGO banner has served as a convenient political cover for the majority as it exploits loopholes and continues its big-government spending ways."

"But the budget itself has some real serious problems, in my opinion, because it is a massive expansion in spending and a massive expansion in taxes. And the real problem is that in the out years, not only does it increase spending in taxes, but it passes on to our children a government that can't be afforded, and that's a big problem."

"The burden of taxation will be so extraordinarily high to maintain the cost of the retired generation that they simply won't be able to have a high quality of life," Gregg says.

I do think that, in the area of trying to stabilize the financial sector of our economy, they're doing the right things. They haven't done it as definitively as they should have, clearly…. but they are moving in the right direction."

Opinion Source Information:

From the Washington Post:

But two of the Republicans who had supported the same-sex marriage ban in 2004, Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter (Pa.) and Sen. Judd Gregg (N.H.), voted against the amendment this time. After yesterday's roll call, Allard said: "We didn't get as many votes as we'd hoped." He added, "If it's up to me, we'll have a vote on this issue every year."

Gregg said in a statement that he had switched sides on the issue after becoming convinced that a Massachusetts Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage in that state would not bleed into other jurisdictions. "Fortunately, such legal pandemonium has not ensued," he said. "The past two years have shown that federalism, not more federal laws, is a viable and preferable approach."
