The debacle at J.P. Morgan Chase reaffirms my view that the largest six banks in this country, including J.P. Morgan Chase, which have assets equivalent to two-thirds of our GDP, must be broken up. This is important in order to bring more competition into the financial marketplace and to prevent another ‘too-big-to-fail' bailout. At a time when 23 million Americans are either unemployed or underemployed, huge financial institutions should not be involved in ‘making wagers or high-stake bets.' They should be investing in the productive economy creating jobs and improving our standard of living. – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)

Is there an Internet "Age Gap"?
"I’m not saying older people are unable to use technology. However, anyone who has received frantic phone calls from parents demanding to know where “The Google” went or spent hours explaining how to operate Microsoft Word understands there is often a generational gap when it comes to the intricacies of computers and the Internet." – +Julie Strupp
"The average age for Senators currently serving is 60-years old, for Congress it’s 55. These lawmakers have grown up in a world without the internet being an integral part of their lives, and consequently don’t have a very nuanced understanding of its importance. Many view sites like Facebook as novelties, not as vital forums for exchanging opinions and ideas that should be protected at all costs. "
In this blog in +PolicyMic +Julie Strupp makes her case for the root of the problem and sudden onslaught of Internet regulation attempts… and her ideas for solving that problem.

Is age really a BIG factor? Read all of what she has to say, and tell us what you think!
