1. It IS political
in the most fundamental sense. The very nature of our country and how it is governed is on the line. Are we to be subject to the relentless impoverishment for the benefit of Wall Street, allowing them to create bubbles serially as to cash in on our misery, with no level of fraud - regardless of how blatant - impermissible? Are they permitted to bribe whoever gets elected, with any amount of money, to alter the law to maximize their pleasure and profit?

Or are we a nation of law, law created by true representatives of the people?

2. The reason we are in this mess is because of Goldman sucks..
..and their former mouthpieces Rubin and Hank Paulson. One lobbied against Glass/Steagull and the other lobbied to increase the Net cap requirements..Glass/Steagull was repealed and the net cap was raised and then within 10 years the entire system damned-near collapsed...so yeah, this is political..
