Default Nothing like a "HAIRPIN TURN"...

Or is it more like a BOOMRANG???

I remember when the HOUSE SPEAKER was pushing for the BAIL-OUTS. At the cost to taxpayers, to keep the financial institutions going.

Now, she's pushing for relief for the taxpayers. A little late, isn't it?

"This law will send a clear warning: no longer will we allow recklessness on Wall Street to cause joblessness on Main Street," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared after the House and Senate reached agreement around dawn Friday on a measure overhauling rules overseeing the financial industry. "The legislation will end the era of taxpayer-funded bailouts and too-big-to-fail financial firms, and it will be fully paid for, with Wall Street footing the bill."
Nothing quite like closing the barn door after the horses all got out... Or is it RETRO-ACTIVE to the last round of BAIL-OUTS?

Lack of jobs loosens Democrats' grip on power - Politics - msnbc.com

WASHINGTON — The sweeping overhaul of the nation's financial industry is President Barack Obama's answer to the nation's outrage over Wall Street bailouts.
But come November if more Americans don't have jobs, Democrats in Congress could very well lose theirs, too.
That's clearly not lost on party leaders.
She can't stick to her guns, can she. What a FLIP-FLOP. Pretty obvious, the Dems are running scared for the next election. And, they still have not done anything about jobs. Losers.

Ok, Hobo, where are you?:clap:

You should read the the bill, or get as far as possible until you puke.
One of the things proposed is a "bank tax". Now we already have the banks taxed as corporations, the employees paying income tax, and all interest and dividends earned being taxed as interest and dividends earned.
Now I am not sure what is left to tax at the banks, but I am fairly certain that whatever it is will just be made up for by higher fees and interest on loans and credit cards.
Of course, now that I have criticized a new tax the VP will call me a smart ass.
November cannot get here fast enough.

He's all broke up over Sen. Byrd dying last night. Maybe now that Byrd and Kennedy are both gone, the senate can actually do something productive.

what gets me scratching my head about the democratic party is their willingness to ignore the fact that byrd was a klan member. there are also videos of byrd calling blacks the "n" word, and yet, republicans are labeled as racists by the likes of al sharpton and jesse jackson, and a good chunk of that party. the double standard that only applies to democraps.

as for my feelings toward "sheets" byrd- GOOD RIDDANCE!

The whole Kennedy clan was mafia per the History Channel.

This Democratic controlled govt. is running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. They have no idea what they are supposed to be doing and Obama is too busy playing POTUS or golf to pull everyone under control. They want one thing then they turn around a few months later and decide that wasn't a smart move so they want to go the opposite way now. They then blame Bush or the Repubs for everything falling apart. The Repubs wanted the opposite and you Dems went the other way originally, now your backtracking and following what the Repubs wanted to begin with yet they were wrong and it's all their fault now? Obama has replaced John Kerry as the king of FLIP-FLOP. He can never make up his mind and stick with that decision. Unfortunately that has trickled down thru his own party. It's disgusting, make a decision and stick with it, if you chose wrong then we all must live with that. Stop going back in hindsight and trying to undo what you just did, you look like a bunch of amatuers playing a govt. official.
