    Trump Advisers Seek to Shrink or Eliminate Bank Regulators

    Oh yes they are regulated and are in fact securities, hence the name...mortgage backed securities. I watched the Big Short and it pissed me off as it should everyone. To say there was no fraud means you are either a wretched banker or haven't been paying attention.

    Capitalism is not compatible with democracy.

    You are not wrong but.....what about it ? What's the difference ? A minor distinction without any difference. All are conveniently corrupt when needed. Never understood peoples' obsession with republic. Hell, the N. Koreans and Chinese are self-proclaimed democratic republics. That's a tell, as...

    Capitalism is not compatible with democracy.

    Gee, how are people elected ? How does a govt. come into being ? Who wins the elections ? Just what power do they have ? Democratically, democratically and with a majority vote.

    Does the Abrahamic God Condone the Abortion of Human Children?

    When it comes to inside the human body, it automatically becomes a matter of privacy. When it comes to what are spiritual desires, the pregnant woman...IS GOD !! Your god...is not needed or sought. As a matter of morality, favoring the unborn over the born...is immoral. For ALL women, it's...

    Trump Advisers Seek to Shrink or Eliminate Bank Regulators

    You are partially correct and mostly incorrect. There were goals but only to make mortgages affordable...not houses. [housing skyrocketed] Then those goals were nothing but window dressing as there was absolutely no federal or state enforcement mechanism. No mortgage co. or broker was ever cited...

    Trump Advisers Seek to Shrink or Eliminate Bank Regulators

    Except that there were no federal laws to enforce 'a federally mandated affordable housing goals.' It was only rhetorical politics starting with Bush II's 'Ownership society.' The CAUSE of the wall street meltdown was traditional capitalist fraud...period. You and I do it and we go to jail...

    And if there is a hell..Reagan is it

    Well, if America was a country of law and order, Reagan would have died in jail. Reagan was partisan scum.

    How can this possibly be constitutional?

    And yet, al of this is over cultish beliefs and superstitions. Proof that earthlings are still a very primitive species. Plus, there is always the fact that none of these religions offer any moral instruction. All of the big religions sanction slavery, genocide, stoning deaths and conquest...

    Joe Biden - A Failed Presidency - What Went Wrong?

    Joe Biden stupidly dumped $2.1 Trillion into the economy. When ? More repub lies as all they have is lies. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act, was a $2.2 trillion economic stimulus bill passed by the 116th U.S. Congress and signed into law by...

    Finland Ended Homelessness, Why Can't We?

    In the most heavily armed nation the world has ever known, why would you have an insurrection with no guns? Court documents, video evidence and news coverage show that several defendants present at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, had firearms — and dozens more wielded knives, bats and other...

    Retired Army general declares Musk a ‘national security risk’ in brutal NYT op-ed

    When will people understand that in capitalism, everything and everybody but family and friends go under the bus...for a profit and sometimes, even them. Now even America's national security as well as our country's health and life expectancy go under the bus for a profit.
