59. Thank goodness for the Senate "Shitty Deal" commission!
Now, if only we had Eliot Spitzer as the AG, we'd see something done about it. But, alas, I don't think anything will happen.

What amazes me is that George HW Bush did more to regulate the financial industry after the Savings and Loan Scandal than the current batch of spineless Democrats intend to do. I don't know what they're afraid of. Haven't they looked at the WallStreet political donations lately???

Wall Street used to donate 60/40 in favor of Democrats. In the last election cycle, thanks to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act, they gave about 90% of their money to the GOP. Listen up, Democrats: WALL STREET IS ALREADY PLANNING TO DONATE ALL OF THEIR MONEY TO THE GOP THIS TIME AROUND, AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. You've got nothing MORE to lose, YOU MAY AS WELL DO SOME GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE FOR A CHANGE. Create a Consumer Protection Agency with some legislative teeth, put Warren at the head of it, prosecute some Wall Street crooks and send them to CLUB FED, make them personally liable for the theft, and get the money back by selling their assets.
