16. If you think our government should be going "CONGRESS ANGRY!!! CONGRESS SMASH!!!"...
Edited on Fri Mar-20-09 03:15 PM by backscatter712
That's your choice, but I think Congress could be looking for more productive ways to deal with the problems on Wall Street, like bringing back Glass-Steagall style regulation and giving the SEC and other regulators some teeth.

As good as it may feel, this bill is a bill of attainder and an ex-post-facto law, and it has a high probability of being shot down in the courts.
