Thank you, Obi Warren Kenobi. You are our only hope.

Why did I know that our boy, little Johnny McCain would be siding with Princess High Cheekbones, the white “woman of color”? The boy just can’t help himself. He’s “reached across the aisle” to the communists so many times that his right arm is 25 feet long.

one thing missing from all this legislation and regulation, moral fiber. Without a society with a conscience, laws are meaningless.

Warren said her effort to pass a 21st century Glass-Steagall Act has the support of Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash), and Angus King (I-Maine).

What do the Indians think?

Most of the big banks are run by Obama supporting socialists.

The White Cherokee should just cut to the chase and propose legislation that the government takes over all the banks.

I agree with Warren, but for entirely different reasons. The banks have become “too big to fail.” This is wrong. Banks are private institutions and should not have governments stepping in to bail them out. Usually when governments bail out the private sector, there are strings attached (look at General Motors). What I don’t like about the banks is that they have become casinos that use depositor’s money to gamble on highly risky projects. If they bet wrong, then the government steps in. The depositors lose their money and the managers walk away. (Look at Cyprus).

When I mention “banks,” I also mean investment banks. In earlier times, the investment banks were owned by the partners. They had skin in the game. When the investment banks went public, the partners got rich and just started gambling away with the investor’s money.

And don’t get me started on derivatives...

Elizbaeth Warren is boring. She should go back to her teepee and disappear from public life. What a total and complete fraud.

From: Urban dictionary:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lieawatha&defid=6622917

lieawatha
When some obviously Caucasian woman or girl proclaims some portion of her ancestry as being native American, without proof, and continues to claim such ancestry when her narrative crumbles, and evidence arises that not only is she not what she claimed, but her direct ancestors may have participated in any number of historical actions working against the interests of real American Indians. Further complicated by her ascribing and reporting on federal government forms such minority status, even though there are criminal penalties associated with purposefully misrepresenting such status.

Made even worse when her employers make use of that status to highlight their diversity bonafides, quite possibly denying real American Indian descended but fully qualified applicants from real positions.

After evidence that her family participated in the trail of tears, the candidate for the Senate from Mass. was exposed as a lieawatha. Sadly she did not do the honorable thing and resign from the campaign, or her position at a formerly prestigious east coast school.

The original Glass-Stegal should be restored.

As always with regulations, the devil is in the details. However, this may actually be one of the two times a day when the stopped clock is right. I commend to every FReeper's attention Luigi Zingales's A Capitalism for the People. Zingales makes a distinction between pro-market and pro-business policies.

As to his bona fides: Sarah Palin was quoting and praising Zingales on the basis of having read the scholarly work of which A Capitalism for the People is a popularization before the book came out. He grew up in Italy and fled in horror from its system of cronyism and is now appalled to see the same arising here. He's a professor in the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago (and remember, that's the one thing in Chicago that's plainly on our side: the business school and econ department at U. Chicago).

No matter what else we think about her, she is 100% accurate on this topic. Those knee-reflexing against her probably don’t understand the issue or are too lazy to try and understand it.

“Warren wants to revive portions of the Banking Act of 1933, dubbed Glass-Steagall, a law passed after the Great Depression to separate commercial banking from investment banking.”

I REALLY HATE it when I agree with a commie. ESPECIALLY one as reprehensible as Warren. Still. I suppose even a blind commie finds an acorn once in a while.

Dear Comrade Warren,

Have you and the SEC been able to find your arses yet with that SQL statement telling you exactly where to find them -- along with the thousands of Mortgage Applications with FRAUDULENT FICO SCORES that were manufactured by Argent Mortgage?

NO?



Then NO SALE.
