The Late, Late, Late Government Shutdown Megathread

It says it takes the requirement to split the banking divisions away. That is one of the main Dodd-Frank components IIRC.

You don't really know what Dodd-Frank does to derivatives, you have know idea what would change under this bill, but you're absolutely sure it's a terrible idea.

How can removing the provision that prohibits the exposure of insured deposits to these transactions actually be a good idea?


Edit:  forgot to add, "you condescending cocksucker."

This isn't even a case of something bad could happen, this is a case of something bad already did, and the crybabies want to gut the safety net that was built in response because it's hurting their marketing efforts and thus their profit.

Sorry dude, I'll take businesses not being able to go to banks as a "one-stop shop" over risking another repeat of the 2008 meltdown any day.

[MadImmortalMan]

Yeah I wonder why Obama agreed to that.


Makes me also wonder what else they brought to the table that he talked them out of.

[derspiess]

No, let's not look out for the American economy or the taxpayer or anything. 

I hope all of you mindless monkeys lose everything the next time the market melts on derivatives.  Each and every one of you reduced to cans of dog food.  Suckers.

I'm feeling much better about my bet now that the Democratic field is filling in.

Isn't it still Hillary's to lose?

Do you know what Dodd-Frank did to derivatives, and what this amendment would change?

Where's your Magic Negro Messiah now, Seedy Em?

[MadImmortalMan]

So it appears the GOP almost couldn't even pass it because their members wanted something in there blocking Obama's executive action on immigration. Sheesh.


Well maybe that's what Boehner gave up in the compromise.

[Razgovory]

Wait, why is this Warren's fault?  Isn't there already a bloc of Republicans against this?

[MadImmortalMan]

Why is what her fault?

[Razgovory]

There was a big discussion about Warren.

[MadImmortalMan]

There was a big discussion about Warren.

She didn't do anything except publicly criticize the agreement. Seedy made it sound like she was gonna filibuster or something.
