Steve Forbes takes a shot at Donald Trump...cool!!!

The Only Thing More Ridiculous Than Donald Trump’s Hair is His Presidential Ambition

"Trump is helping us understand just how truly empty and absurd these political provocateurs really are, by becoming a caricature of all their worst parts."

"Those are my only two explanations for Trumps run: he’s either a glutton for media attention or he’s a stealth liberal determined to undermine any GOP candidate in the upcoming presidential elections. I’m not sure which is more ridiculous."

I hope Trump hits back.

"Glass-Steagall Reintroduced (Basically) - HR.1489"

It will be bounced around in committee for the next year or so with more cosponsors signing on till there are enough of them to scare the hell out of Wall Street. Then when it's coming to the floor for a vote most of them will crowbar nice large campaign donations from Wall Street and then vote against the Bill that they cosponsored.
They pull this off one way or another before every election. Remember HR.1207 - S.604.
We have the best government that the people stealing our money can buy so they can steal more of our money.
Makes me proud to be an American.

Does anybody know what the relationship is between Wall Street banks and the IMF? No I'm serious. If the Wall Street banks were allowed to fail, then these interest rate swaps would've been cancelled and all of the European countries would not be defaulting on their loans.
I don't know if the world gets to see this, but many American taxpayers were fighting TARP- kicking and screaming. Except for the Baby Boomers who thought TARP would salvage the phony valuations of their real estate.
We're very sorry, those of us who actually understand what's going on beneath the layers of the media blackout-this wasn't our will. We don't live in a democracy in the US.

Here we go again after repeatedly promising American's there would be no boots on the ground that LIAR obama plans to find a way around the legal issues and put boots on the ground!

Very good Sagebrush, if it was the mob instead of the government, it would be called extortion. They are throwing "regulation" out there to grease the contribution wheels. All "meaningful" regulation is written by the lobbyists...
