It's not really that important to have strong financial regulations...
It's more important to have a "bi-partisan" agreement that gets something done, even if it might permit another collapse of our economy.

There is really no need to regulate the derivatives market since we need them to compete in this new global economy.

People that are demanding strong reform do not understand the principle of compromise when dealing with the other Party.

We can celebrate if we get any sort of agreement with the Republicans and pass the bill.

If the Republicans do not wish to work with us, we can use it as a political issue in the next election.

There is no need to look for revenge on those that destroyed our economy and crashed the stock market.

We need to look forward.

Don't you agree?

Huh?

1. Look forward and not backward, get a win for the Democrats..
These are the important things, all else is just wanting rainbow pooping unicorns.

6. Shhh.. Now you're just letting your poutrage show..
Mustn't show any emotion other than overwhelming gratitude for the masterful job our Democrats are doing of compromising in a bipartisan manner.

3. Right!
People are naive and foolish to expect real reform.

12. I for one am looking forward to the crime spree I will go on soon
since the US has stopped prosecuting criminals. What's that? We still prosecute petty crimes while ignoring the big ones? Well, I better make it big!

15. Those that believe "behind every huge fortune is a huge crime.."
simply do not appreciate the genius of those that can make a billion dollars out of thin air without producing anything. They are simply jealous of these brilliant entrepreneurs.

13. GO TEAM!!!!
Lord in Heaven some folks are way far from geting it. This is going to kill us if we don't wake up and deal with the issues rather than skirting them.
