“Those who say this is a Trump victory or part of some great scheme we don’t understand are becoming blind cheerleaders. We need to see what is happening and not happening and not just salute the rhetoric. “
True, but for the life of me, it’s only been 100 days, and everyone thinks that in that time Trump should have perfected “walking on water,” and be getting everything he wants. My advice to you all is take a good look at the GOPe a$$holes you elected last year while you were voting for Donald Trump, and ask yourself if you really did your part to abet the changes he wants to make. I will wager that for the most part, you think your GOPe Congressman and or Senators are the “good guys” and all the rest are the “real problem.” I mean Paul Ryan is an absolute piece or $hit, who polls nationally in the low 20’s, but in his district he could be seen with an underage boy in a public bathroom and still get re-elected! And don’t get me started on Bitch McScrotumneck’s romp over Matt Bevin two years ago! All of you need to “Get Real!”
CNBC=NBC. Maybe he said it, maybe he didn’t. They’re part of the subversive liars corporation.
That was the Federal Bank.
We have passed the point on singularity with the big banks.
The only way to turn back the clock is to ban all political contributions by banks world-wide (and yes that means “speaking fees” to Hillary and Obama).
Then no bank executives or board members should be allowed to serve in the government and no government officials should be allowed to serve as executives or board members of banks—total lifetime ban in both directions.
Then, _maybe_ we can crawl out of the singularity of bank dominated economies.
Having No regulations can lead to huge monopolies just like have too many can lead to huge monopolies.
Replace Tax Revenue with # of Banks and Tax Rate with # of regulations.
YES!!!!
Maybe that MAGA thing really was serious.
The Federal Reserve benefits banks - and government. The Federal Reserve is the pillar of the progressive, collectivist, socialist nanny-state.
> If that is true, then how is this “Big Banks” fault?
If you think the “Big Banks” are your friends, I invite you to head over to OpenSecrets.org and check out who the top funders of people like Barack Obama and Chuck Schumer are.
Dow, Nasdaq and S&P are all up.
You are right. One of the downfalls of “crapitalism” is the same as dictatorship. A ruling elite emerges and they have the ability through “donations”, “support”, and outright bribes to sway those who make and implement policy for their own benefit.
Our banks are necessary and essential. However, they put profit first and the well-being of Americans second. When they are as powerful as we have allowed them to be they will dictate policies that are good for them and the nation is a distant second. The creation of the Fed made a private bank the most powerful bank in the world. It was a mistake then and a mistake we are forced to live with now.
There are pros and cons to almost every policy change we can make. With that said, fixing what is wrong with our banking industry is a “must do” for the President - especially if he wants to drain the swamp. I don’t pretend to have the answers, but I know this President has what I think is the best cabinet on financial matters in my lifetime. They know what they are doing so I will wait and see what happens.
No he isn’t being criticized for not getting everything he wants, but with this, he is getting almost nothing from this CR except for a repudiation of his budget and additional restrictions on funds for a border wall:
Better idea. Break up big government. Smaller, less spending and fewer people.
Too big to fail means too big to exist
So tell us all, what would you have done? Make a government shutdown the only news being covered?

Amen! It amazes me that a lot of people (even here) don’t understand that breaking up the big banks, auditing the Federal Reserve, and eventually giving the American citizen another option to an alternative currency, to the Dollar, that’s actually backed by something real like precious metals- is the ONLY solution! You CAN NOT have “small government” so long as the Federal Reserve exists!!
“or he is going to learn that not every thought needs to be broadcast”
If a man hasn’t learned that by age 70, I don’t think it’s likely to happen.
