Welp this is infurirating

quote:

Today’s financial regulators
seem to be striving for multiple amorphous goals, including eliminating
Market-Based Financial Regulation risk, creating a failure-free financial system, and directing capital to satisfy
noneconomic objectives.

Risk taking must be part of the financial system. As former US Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) member and contributor to this volume
Daniel M. Gallagher noted in a 2014 speech before the Institute of International
Bankers, “In the capital markets, there is no opportunity without risk—and
that means real risk, with a real potential for losses.”10 Thus, people who provide
capital to an enterprise sign on to sharing in the potential gains and losses,
and the regulatory framework should not stand in the way.
Market discipline is a missing ingredient in the regulation of the financial
system. Financial institutions and products must be allowed to disappear
when they do not meet the needs of their customers. Failure, perhaps counterintuitively,
can enhance the long-term health of the financial system.11 A
well-regulated but competitive financial system manages failure to minimize
devastating consequences to households and the economy, while bidding
an unsentimental farewell to failed firms and welcoming in their place new
entrants with products and services that meet customer needs.

On one hand I think trump would do just about anything to undermine Obama. On the other hand he is a coward who wants healthcare to be 100% on the Senate unless it helps people.

ah yes, the inconcievable health coverage plan funded through the awesome and terrifying eldritch forces of yog-sothoth. health insurance plans that you can not dream of, lest you go mad and fall into a slumber of eternal nightmare. do not attempt to think of this health coverage legislation, as doing so is the folly of fools and madmen whose lust for power will be their own unraveling.

its an app that rounds up credit card charges to the nearest dollar and puts that money into a tax-deductable (nonrefundable) health savings account *brain explodes*

The Hill posted:

A top member of the House GOP whip team unleashed on Senate Republicans Wednesday for failing to advance legislation to repeal and replace ObamaCare, saying that his colleagues have “failed the American people.”

“The Senate has failed the American people and abandoned voters who were promised that they would repeal and replace the disastrous Obamacare," Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.), a senior deputy House majority whip, said in an extraordinary five-paragraph statement. "The House did its job. We honored our pledge and passed legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare in early May. There is no need to sugar coat this: I’m very upset with the Senate.”

He expressed frustration that the Senate has nothing to show for the past seven months of working to fulfill a nearly decade-long campaign promise, despite across-the-board GOP control of Congress and the White House.

“Senators have now wasted seven months doing nothing,” Ross said. “The American people are sick of the excuses from Senators. I’m sick of the excuses.”

quote:

“If they don’t repeal and replace Obamacare, like they promised and were voted to do, they are going back on their word and have some serious explaining to do when they go back home and face those who sent them to Washington to protect and help them. They will be held accountable,” Ross said.

He warned that if the existing healthcare system falters, “the Senate will be taking the blame. Not the House, and not the President.”

By contrast, other House Republicans have been more measured in expressing disappointment with the Senate.

“Obviously, any time that you get bad news in terms of things not moving forward it’s not a good day,” Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said on Tuesday. “And yet at the same time, I’m not so discouraged because I’ve been here. And I know that the phoenix can rise out of the ashes, so to speak. And the same thing can happen here.”

Nearly all but one of the current GOP senators voted in 2015 for legislation to repeal the healthcare law, but it was purely a show vote since President Obama was expected veto it.

quote:

The Republican National Committee isn't spending big for New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Kim Guadagno because the RNC doesn't think she has been loyal to President Trump, NJ.com reported Wednesday.

Guadagno, currently the lieutenant governor under Gov. Chris Christie (R), is viewed skeptically by the RNC because of her criticism of Trump after the release of the "Access Hollywood" tape and as a lost cause, the report said.

"[The president] is unhappy with anyone who neglected him in his hour of need," an RNC insider reportedly said, referring to Guadagno's public disavowal of Trump last fall after the surfacing last year of the "Access Hollywood" tape, in which Trump brags about sexually assaulting women.
