8. Sadly, AJ, I am not surprised. Maybe I set my hopes to high, but
I really thought it had a chance of passing.

I remember as an employee of one of the disgraced financial firms in the late 1990's badgering us to support the repeal of Glass-Steagal Act. I knew then, just as you probably did too, that it would lead to a disaster.

3. If things don't get better, there is always getting louder as an option.

Checking into rules applied back Nerve Stapling options. But have to look into it still.


Note that Nerve Stapling is not something I would do.

Probably have to check with the boys on that one...

Sounds like they sure are ready, would have to say even eager.... hmmm....


No it is not a regional comment, why do people think that. Look at the shield ^ is on the shields. Just a fun thought, might be that good things are happening.

4. It's coming
When the euro zone crisis threatens to take down our biggest banks, who are tied in tightly with European banks, there will indeed be pressure for one more bailout.

You think people are mad about not withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan? Wait till you see how pissed they are that the President is pushing one more bailout through Congress, that will go along with it.

Maybe we'll be lucky, and that will happen after Election Day...

5. Of course it is
They didn't change anything in 2 years other than making accounting fraud legal.
