Glass-Steagall, you wouldn't know from the Phil-Pitt Steagles.

Nothing to do with the repackaging and de facto ended with
Greenspan in 87 with the Citi-Travelers deal long before the collapse.

I was just thinking, it was/is really bad to do all of my banking insurin' and investing in the same place.Bad that the working / middle class had
access to financial paper/investments that not too long before were unavailable to them without huge outlays and load fees. Bad that the vaunted "middle" actually became stockholders. It exposed them to too much risk and an exercise of free will. 2% interest in savings with nothing but home equity increasing at 3% YOY shouldve been good enuf for the masses. BAD BAD BAD!!!!!

Wait, you still haven't clued me in on what makes you such an economic expert Goohead. I must know the secret of your suckcess.

Timeshare sales? Boardwalk Psychic? Airline passenger who crapped on a beverage cart? Excel developer? Macaroni Artist? CT School of Broadcasting? Driving a GMC Monster Truck? Box Wine Enemas? Street Corner Paint Bucket Drummer?

Crayoning in a vote for the dwarfish Ronpaulstiltskin while defending his economic anathema the rat-eared B. Hussein Hoover is a clever balancing act I must admit...

Ask that poster fly-by-nawlins-jet; George Bush set the bar EXTREMELY low; Obama didn't have to do anything but step over it. Bush waved at the chocolate city from williewonkaone; maybe you recall that? That was such a self-full, leaderless act that Obama could have taken the train up to Jersey and spent the day pointing finger at people and laughing.

Blame W; that's what Im saying

Post storm, given the widespread damage, the OP looks a little like a schmuck.

Pothead, meet kettle, DC did not have widespread damage.

It is a shame to let a "crisis" go to waste though

*Dude, I realize every Liberal/Crypto-Liberal is "My Friend, ...." to you but you don't have to stoop
to the level of the sgs/VT/drunk kids to make a point

No; that's how he dresses. It's obvious he leaves his "best thinking"* for other boards. Dude wakes up angry; probably brushes his teeth with a fury. Why would he think before posting on a Jets board?

Nah, I like Dean. He usually has some good points to make.

This one just seems a little silly in hindsight IMO.

As it is, the Storm is (IMO) a big boost for Obama, as he gets to sit back, do very little, but "look presidential" and get glowing priase from guys like Christie, all the while being "non-political" whilst leading.....while poor old Mitt will have a very hard time turning the discussion back to politics while so much of the North East is cleaning up the damage, the Mid-atlantic is getting power restored, and the Inland east is under 3 feet of snow.

Not fair, but I think thats how it's going to play out. The Jobs Report will be a media reported afterthought now, they'll be far too busy showing us the Obama "War" Room and him looking all concerned about the victims of sandy.

I think my timing is still a bit off. "Boardwalk Umpire" might have been funnier.

No matter, it's almost too easy to counter gross ignoramuses...they're 144x dumber than ordinary ignoramuses...his Master's Thesis was "Julius Caesar...The Man, and The Salad"

MSNBC is as disgusting as Rush Limbaugh. Fox may lean heavy right and CNN heavy left but they'll at least counter point.

you think CNN and Fox are equivalent? Look at Fox's front page right now they are literally falling all over themselves to get back to Benghazi manufactured outrage as soon as possible. They have a permanent "bias alert" section which is just them complaining about what liberals say. they are not comparable at all.

My wife loves Rachel Maddow and Charlie Rose. I know what sentiment you mean; they are at times smarmy...you always have to seperate the ideas from the editorial slant. Left and Right are great theater for folk that WANT SOMEONE TO TELL THEM WHAT TO DO.

What? A news organization investigating a White House cover up involving the death of a US Ambassador?

Unheard of.......
