Heh-heh-heh...winning the hearts and minds...
....of the American people, Republicans once again show who their masters
are. By Kevin Drawbaugh WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) - For a second time in as many days, U.S. Senate Republicans mustered enough votes on Tuesday to block debate of a Democratic bill that would bring the biggest overhaul of financial regulation since the 1930s. President Barack Obama and the Democrats want tighter rules on banks and capital markets to prevent a repeat of the 2008-2009 financial crisis, which tipped the economy into a deep recession and unleashed reform efforts worldwide. Many Republicans say they see a need for reform, but oppose the Democrats' bill as an overreach by government. *** Right...why would we want to reign in wall street? -- The Tea Party's teabaggers are just the Republican base by another name. |
