Add Peregrine Financial "losing" a couple hundred million of what is supposed to be segregated client funds and LIBOR rates being manipulated.


It is rarely a case of "not enough" regulation and too often a case of poorly executed or laxly enforced regulation. One exception I will make for that is Glass-Steagall. There is not enough of that regulation these days.

How Do You Get Into the NAACP Convention to Hear Eric Holder Say That Voter ID Laws Are Racist? | Power Line

Pointing out the hypocrisy of this administration is fun. And easy. .

BTW, have they figured out if they're taxing us or penalizing us? Is there such a thing as a $1.7 trillion penalty over 10 years?

I watched part of his speech, his argument (however retarded it may be) would be null and void if states started requiring its citizens to hold a state issued ID by some age limit.

He argues that getting an ID is too expensive for some minorities. I find that argument incredibly racist. He calls it a poll tax. I'm sure EBT cards are accepted at the DMV...they are everywhere else.

He also argues it's too hard for minorities to get IDs. Again, I find his statement racist and belittling, apparently minorities lack the intelligence to walk, taxi, bus, bike, drive to a state run DMV and have an ID issued.

he also adds:

But this is not true, many times when he's presented with information on voter fraud, he investigates the whistleblower, not the fraud.


It was an embarassing speech and I litterally slapped my forehead when I watched it. Of course his poor unintelligent minions cheered an appaulded him when he called them poor and stupid.

I've been watching Pat Caddell's slow transformation from a concerned democrat into Will Smith from I Am Legend. The link below is basically a prescription on how to defeat Obama. Caddell seems to have transitioned from having a disagreement with to outright hostility towards the Administration and democratic leadership. The article is long but pretty convincing, and it pretty much boils down to Obama being a goddam liar and the republicans need to call him one on the "no taxes on the middle-class" issue.

The California democrats just passed a laughable budget that did not address unfunded liabilities from pension plans. At all. This is supposed to be a gift from Sacramento to the unions, but cities are simply being forced to go bankrupt in order to address these realities.

We're not too poor for the "Browndoggle", a high-speed rail that nobody wants. Literally--the price has more than doubled from what the voters approved, the rail has gotten slower, use will be a fraction of the original plan and those who will get it in their towns hate the idea. So the sneaky F-ers in Sacramento start the project out in the middle of nowhere, figuring once it's started it can't be stopped. Why would I drive to a distant location to get on a train that cost more and was slower than a plane to get to my destination?

When governments get too big, they can cram this stuff down our throats at will, much like the Obamatax.
