Tim Kaine Calls To Deregulate Banks As He Campaigns To Be Clinton's VP
Huffington Post ^ | July 20, 2016 | Zach Carter

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) is on Hillary Clinton’s short list of potential vice presidential nominees. He’s also actively pushing bank deregulation this week as he campaigns for the job.

Kaine signed two letters on Monday urging federal regulators to go easy on banks ― one to help big banks dodge risk management rules, and another to help small banks avoid consumer protection standards.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's ... pick is widely viewed in Washington as a sign of her governing intentions.

He better run that one by the witch first! Democrats are really that stupid. They know Killery is in bed with the banks yet they just don’t give a hoot.

The thing I don’t get, is why he was pushing for bank rereg this week of all weeks? Do they want to tick off Bernie/Warren wing of party?

It figures. You can bet your a$$ it isn’t about removing regulations that hamper, pester and punish typical depositors.

More like REMOVING restrictions on banks that regulate the RISK they can take in their financial and inter-bank dealings and speculation on market products.

The CFPB is an Obama construct. It should be abolished. It has no “rules.”

Actually, he may be referring to undoing Dodd-Frank.

I think Trump is for that, too.

Maybe so. All I know is if he’s in league with Hillary, there will be no good come from it except her or her foundation.

Cane (misspelling is intentional) has a job to do—raise money.

As Willie Sutton said: “Why do I rob banks. Because that’s where the money is”.

Anybody notice that Tim Kaine looks a lot like comedian /actor: Larry Miller...

But with a bit more hair and little sense of humor.

At the end of the day, the Warren/Sander’s wing will vote for Hillary because they think Trump will end abortions.
Their sexual deviance will always overshadow their economic issues

That is true. Sex and weed is more important to most of them than anything else.

Wow! After the last few decades of banking scandals that takes some set of cajones.

I am all for deregulating the banks. But that is because I believe that home mortgage lending should return to the mom and pop operation of community banks that I grew to know in my early childhood. And that means first breaking up all the too big to fail banks. But with all the world marching towards the unibank owning the uniparty, I am guessing that is just not going to happen.

Sounds like what Trump was talking about.

I think you will hear Hillary sounding more and more like Trump everyday....cuz if you want change...you have to propose what he is proposing.

Obama won because he strategically played each state. Philly is a good example. 100% blacks went for Obama? How does that happen?
