Just to amp up your aggravation,

Not going to happen with a Republican controlled Congress no way they support regulation of anything. Your favorite person Hillary isn't talking about this either. Warren was active on this last year, so maybe something can get done next year assuming elephant asses get moved out of the capitol building.

A Google search showed this issue all but disappears from media attention about four months ago.

The problem is not one which will be solved by having one partner in a criminal relationship investigate or "regulate" the other.

It's like when the cops do an internal investigation, it's a sham.



The problem is one of monopoly, fiat money and a lack of alternatives being allowed, not to mention a nation of sheep who don't understand the problem, never mind any potential solutions.

Yep. Pretty convenient how the issue magically vanished. This election has laid bare just how corrupt our whole political system is for all Americans to see- the question now is how long American citizens will tolerate being lied to.

Hillary was never my favorite and her ignorance of the issue is right in keeping with the mandate from her Wall St corporate owners.

That's why Bernie Sanders was my guy- and still is.

Campaign funding reform and Wall Street reform. Everybody is talking about personality and not the important issues of the day. I wish I could say that this is different from past elections.

What's different is now we're realizing that such wind machine bullshit is being blown up our asses by the media; we citizens are demanding better, we're just being ignored by the powers that have run things for so long they think it's their right to do so.

We will see how long it takes for this awareness to become action, and then change.
 
Dude, you're melting down as bad as Bucky is in reading comprehension and content delivery, e.g.:

Actually, 1933 for Glass-Steagall.
GLBA was passed in 1999. I linked both in my post so you could READ and try to come back with a valid argument. That charity seems to fall through your fingers.

The heart of the crisis came from Bush's decision to allow banks to self regulate credit default swaps. Look that up. The crisis hit in 2008. George Bush was prez for most of that decade.

If that's your interpretation of what I wrote the I apologize for being so oblique.
I think all the presidents and most congressmen are aggressive agenda driven idiots who are trying to put out Rome's fires by using fire hoses spraying napalm.

Glass Steagal restrictions have not yet been put back in place. This should be an issue this year but it's not In fact, Congress just took a crack at further deregulation. There is plenty of blame to go around for this..

That's not quite correct as "The Dodd–Frank regulatory reforms were enacted in the U.S. to lessen the chance of a recurrence. " which is silly but the way the gov't works.
Instead of repealing the act that repealed Glass-Steagall which had worked for 60+ years, they make another law to replace it that history will probably prove does not even come close.

Just when I think you're just as clueless as Bucky you pull insightful reasoned stuff like this out.

Most of our recent presidents and other world leaders made the atmosphere possible that "Just 62 ultra-rich individuals<snip> have as much wealth as the bottom half of humanity. Five years ago, it took 388 rich guys to achieve that status."

Now given the statements you've made before about the rich not spending, you know that "trickle down" is BS happy talk for the masses.

Elite persons are smart enough to know that if they want to ensure they win a bet, they need create and subsidize both sides of the contest without telling anybody else or no one else <suckers> will bet the game.

Thats what I was saying. Corruption invades both sides of the aisle.

Democrats are not less susceptibility to being bought.

Smiley face.

The elites try to convince us that people over 250k are greedy sons of bitches.

How about we make it harder to import and easier to start businesses? Place an import tax and lower business tax.

That hurts the big dogs and helps the little dogs. It levels the business playing field for american business and and makes opening factories in america attractive.

Big companies use their purchase power to build large inventories of chinese made products that they can sell cheaper than american products. We need to help american products compete with the cheap labor of the world by offsetting labor cost with import cost.

This will create jobs and is what Trump proposes.

I have no problem with people earning a quarter mil a year; it's the ones making over ten million a year and STILL not paying their fair share of taxes that I'm fed up with.

clearly you are no rocket scientist, otherwise you would know that rockets use propulsion to accelerate at a faster and faster pace.

and clearly you are not good at basic math, otherwise you would know that our debt keeps growing at a slower and slower pace, not even accelerating, but rather decelerating, because obama keeps slashing the deficit.

i will let you have this lesson in basic mathematics for free this time, but in the future i will be charging a stupidity tax upon you for making me point out such simple and basic facts.

oh, just helplessly clueless.

an "import tax", otherwise known as a tariff, is a tax on you, the walmart shopper. if you just slap a tax on goods that americans purchase like that, they will buy less. less demand equals less jobs in an economy that is 70% based on aggregate demand.

and starting a business is already as easy as it can be. there is nothing stopping you from literally starting one in the next 6 minutes. that is about how long it took me. it costs $50 in my state to register an LLC and can be done online in minutes.

you are helplessly clueless, and so it is no wonder you support a racist whore like donald trump.

I'm devoid of substance, yeeeeaaaaahhhhh.
I use all the politically correct euphemisms for a popular ebonic phrase to trot around your incessant need to label others racist AND point out the divisive nature race/color issues have in American society, and you do what?

Point a finger a say racist anyway.

Could you please point out anywhere in this thread that you provide content rather than muppet cheer leading, Sweetums?

I'm sorta for this, but it is too convoluted and easily sidetracked into a pork barrel of crony fascist crap.

How about we bring the manufacturing of US based companies BACK to the US and be renown for the quality and craftsmanship of those goods, instead of only the design?

Remember when Apple made Apple products in Cupertino CA and not Foxconn in China?

No answers for your questions until you answer mine.

Is that hard to understand?

Now you'll claim distraction 'cause Babaloos cheer leading routine has a part where you swear you can see his penis <or exceptionally large clitoris. I leave that for you to disclose from experience.>
