Fed Wins Bank-Reform Battle

 Federal Reserve chairman aka(the pimp) Ben S. Bernanke  decided on what actions the feds wanted to take, and then invented the stories that the Congress and the public needed to believe to support the actions. The main cheerleaders for the feds are (Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, and Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., a Republican member of the committee} will reach a deal on financial reform that would give the Fed additional powers as chief regulator for consumer protection.  Mr. Bernanke set the agenda  and the rest of the players in congress job is to follow the agenda.

Lawmakers cleared, that’s what friends are for!

Defense appropriation subcommittee members Reps. Norm Dicks (D-Wash.), Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), Bill Young (R-Fla.), Jim Moran (D-Va.) and the late John Murtha (D-Pa.), Peter Visclosky (D-Ind.) and Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.) were all cleared Friday of violating House rules in relation to securing millions of dollars for clients of the PMA Group, a now defunct lobbying giant, which donated piles of money to their campaigns. C’mon man, When the money’s on the table, virtually everyone’s  is going to grab some.  If you can’t see these things just by looking, you have simply closed your eyes to the realities of our world…..Look, Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem, always have.  Always will.
