They are...ahem...2 of 535 elected Congressional officials. Even if they are partisan hacks, they both will likely want a majority of votes come next election, so for them to come out and state the regime is harming the economy on purpose is a high risk position. I don't think they'd go out on this limb without feeling pretty confident about their positions.

The point is that Barry believes that profits and what banks can charge to attain said buoyancy should be ordained by government, notably....HIMSELF!!! This is clearly socialistic pedigree if not fascist. But you don't see it because he doesn't clearly state the words, "I believe in socialism above all else". Just listen and you can hear them.

You love to claim I have blinders on. Maybe I do get riled up by the audacity of this regime and see things out of conservative lenses. However, he's clearly in favor of big centralized governmental control over as much as he can get...either through the bully pulpit or administrative fiat. He is destroying the country we all grew up in all in the name of "fairness" and "social justice". All you have to do is read Rev Wright to know how Barry has thought for 20 years.

Someone being confident in their opinion has no effect over whether that opinion is fucking insane.

No matter how hard you conservatives want this to be an "evil Obama is trying to ruin the country and WE have to protect 'murica" thing. It isn't.

As BoatShoes succinctly put it....the federal as well as investment banks are no different that what OPEC was in the 70's. Boat calls them a cartel....I call them collusionist oligarchs.....which is ALWAYS the end product of unbridled capitalism.

Adam Smith was very clear in pointing this out in several chapters of his book Wealth of Nations.

The point is that he and his conspirators believe they should regulate, control, and deem "reasonable" profits for companies. The fact Bank of 'Murica is charging $5/month to use their services is NONE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES' BUSINESS. But, you and Boat want to obfuscate, deflect, and pivot away from this major point because you can't defend it. It's easier to paint Bank of 'Murica as the evil bogeyman who must be slayed to make 'Murica fairer for all.

If a bank wants to charge a fee for services...IT'S THEIR RIGHT to charge whateverthe**** they feel is necessary to remain in business. There are literally dozens of other banks to consider should a consumer wish to not pay Bank of 'Murica's fees. If enough people choose to leave them, then they'd have to reconsider their fee-for-services position. Up until Jan 20, 2009, this is how business was supposed to be conducted in 'Murica.

Barry has said that he's going to fundamentally transform 'murica. His vision of 'murica...should you use your eyes and ears...is to redistribute wealth by any means necessary. In HIS mind, he's not ruining 'murica, he's providing social justice to those that have been punished by evil rotten scum rich types, corporations, and Republicans. The fact that you see his work as non-ruinous comes from the kool-aid he's serving.

Unless you're putting a cop in every single home in America, there will always be rapes and there will always be murders.
