“Oh boy, Elijah Cummings is all for it! He who gets his marching orders from Valerie Jarrett.
Hell, that’s reason enough alone to kill it. HA!”
If it was only Cummings I would agree. But the letter you refer to (post 37 ) was signed and headlined by Daryl Issa - Chairman of House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and only co-signed by Cummings. It’s rare event but sometimes good things for America can be politically unanimous opinions. This is what makes Boehner’s actions so frustrating because it represents overreach.
Boehner supposedly allowed the same banker lobbies, that we are now back on the hook for on their risky derivative investments, to kill it. But then what should we expect, a government that actually works for transparency for the citizens? Never forget these are the same global bankers that I am still as a Tea Partier PO’d about, because they got to live very high on the hog off our debt, bailouts and Fed printing presses, while the impact to our financial system and economy is still very questionable.
In the interest of respect make that Darrell not Daryl. Never could spell that name.
I find it fascinating that the blowback against Boehner’s tabling of the bill is coming almost exclusively from left of center publications. Where’s the blowback from conservative writers and publications? I’ve been checking off and on all day, it’s yet to materialize.
What’s the hurry? Why now? Because the left knows the current bill that was tabled was the closest they could get to what they wanted. A new Congress will be able to put more steel and spine in the bill giving more access to you and me to the truth. The left abhors such a notion. But the newly elected stronger conservative wing of the R gang can raise that torch and shine that light.
Since these bills have been receiving unanimous bi-partisan votes in the Senate and the House already, who’s to say a stronger tougher bill wouldn’t be able to muster at least a 2/3rds majority to override an Obama veto. Could that be what has folks like Cummings and Leahy coming down with the vapors?
