Company seizure? That's FASCISM!

Sieg Heil!

The bill will be introduced in Congress by a key ally of President Barack Obama - Representative Barney Frank - who chairs the House Financial Services Committee...

Just say "Banking Queen"...

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The ultimate goal is for the government to have control of all of the means of production. See the communist manifesto.

If you don't grease the polit bureau, they simply take what they want.

This is socialism. This is far, far worse.

We,the People, are getting the change so many wanted.

... hold more money in reserve and make it harder for them to borrow too heavily against their assets

The result is less money supply, higher interest rates, lower economic activity and fewer loans to less credit-worthy borrowers (e.g., minorities). How would Bwaney square this circle?

Legislation to be introduced in Congress will make it easier for the US government to seize control of troubled financial institutions that are considered too big to be allowed to fail...

Wrong answer. If a company is "too big to fail", but it's losing money, let it die. It will be replaced by a number of smaller, better run companies, none of which will be too big to fail or in danger of failing. Why meddle when Adam Smith's invisible hand will solve the problem perfectly?
