Just for your edification...I DID post about Gramm-Leach-Bliley, etc. You simply ignored it.
"In regards to Glass Steagel? Once again...if I'm not mistaken that was something that was signed into law by Bill Clinton because international banks were killing US banks since they could invest in areas that US banks couldn't. I personally agree with Newt on this issue. In the pursuit of short term profits, US commercial banks put themselves in a vulnerable position they wouldn't have been in otherwise."
Okay again, I don't live here. I miss posts from time to time. So now that I see your post, I'm happy to reply.
First a minor correction - Clinton signed Gramm-Leach-Blilely, not the 1933 Glass-Steagal but it's understandable that you wrote the latter when you meant the former as they are so related. Yup Clinton signed it. Three Republicans had a super-majority, veto-proof senate so what was he going to do, veto it? Besides, several Dems were behind it as well. And it was a huge mistake. By the DEMS and Repubs who let it go through (see how that works? Not afraid of saying the Dems f*cked up at all! Hell, I think Obama SUCKS!).
So I agree with you and Newt and OWS on this issue.
Not to bust your chops but I had to tell you that I'd replied to your position three times before you acknowledged it and then only when you demanded that I show where I had responded to it. Miss posts from time to time? More like ignore them. And when you couple that with insulting posts like the following... "Ahh the sheeple move in herds. Yet all of you are too stupid or too afraid to respond to any of the points. Here, let me dumb it down for ya"...do you understand what a tool you come off as?
Speaking of ignoring? You STILL haven't responded to my question about the other demands that the OWS protesters have made. Once again, you seem to be "selective" on what you want to discuss here.
OWS protesters have also demanded that minimum wage be raised to $20 an hour...that a "living wage" be given to all, regardless of whether they are working or not...that all debt be forgiven...that credit rating agencies should be done away with...and my favorite...that our borders should be open to any that want to come here. Why is it that you don't want to discuss "those" OWS demands?
