The House provision is corporate welfare.
When banks lose money on bad investments, taxpayers are expected to cover their losses.
That’s the opposite of a free market.

This is not the thing to be slipped into the middle of a bill in secret, like some 8th grader guiltily sneaking a Playboy into his house. It can wait until next year and be done in the light of day if it is something good (which I doubt).

Decentralizes control of banks from the gummit.Allowing them to socialize their risk is not "decentralization."

the elites, period, are owned/own the banks....both rats and pubs...
don't think for one minute that Vitter would take a stand unless he knew he had covered his arse and his speaking out is just for show....
hiding your money under a mattress is maybe the best option for we rabble out here..

One of the rare instances where the interests of the Tea Party and the DUmmies intersect.

My greatest fear is that this country is about to elect the next Hitler on a promise to punish the banks.

Likely it will go the other way. Remember what happened after Jimmy Carter’s disastrous term” Obama has often, and in many ways accurately, been compared to J. Carter. (Except in some areas Obama is far worse, obviously.) The pendulum tends to swing. We might just get a true conservative for the next term, God willing.

It is the bailouts that caused the Tea party to form, and now the GOPe is sneaking in the very thing that caused the banks to need bailouts. Right now Sen. Warren is out in front on this but we need to be right out there in the lead as well.

Hey, one of the sheeple is starting to think, better get over here...

Own local small business. It can be TINY. Anything that works. Teeny tiny. Sell stuff at flea markets, anything. When you make profits, don't spend it, plough it back into your business, or a new business.
Live as cheaply as you can and keep investing in businesses you own and control.
Get to know likeminded people.
