Start with "BASH: Secretary Clint, the government announced yesterday that five of the biggest banks on Wall Street have failed to develop plans to dismantle themselves in the event of another financial crisis. This is the second time in two years those banks neglected to come up with credible plans. So, as president, would you call on regulators to start the process of breaking up these banks? Something that the law not only allows, but actually explicitly encourages?"

Settlements should actively be discouraged because it's already a big enough of a problem that the SEC loves to settle things outside of court, even when the New York DA Office is gung ho about it. The banks win if the only thing they get slapped with for criminal behavior is a fine.

Joe 30330: Dec 20, 2007; "We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

They're not even paying 5 billion, we're actually giving them money to give us money for something illegal that they did:

quote:

But that is just on paper. Buried in the fine print are provisions that allow Goldman to pay hundreds of millions of dollars less � perhaps as much as $1 billion less � than that headline figure. And that is before the tax benefits of the deal are included.

The bank will be able to reduce its bill substantially through a combination of government incentives and tax credits. For example, the settlement calls for Goldman to spend $240 million on affordable housing. But a chart attached to the settlement explains that the bank will have to pay at most only 30 percent of that money to fulfill the deal. That is because it will receive a particularly large credit for each dollar it spends on affordable housing.

JPMorgan Chase, for instance, earned a $1.15 credit toward its settlement requirements for each dollar of loan forgiveness it offered within the first year, according to the settlement it completed in 2013. Goldman, in contrast, is getting $1.50 of credit for each dollar of loan forgiveness within the first six months after the settlement � an additional incentive that JPMorgan did not receive. JPMorgan also did not get the 70 percent discount on money going to affordable housing.

Chase got similar incentives with their settlement. I'm sure the public thinks any less of them for it too.

Is there a good defense against nationalizing banks? At least that way the billions they siphon from the economy could be recycled into social programs and infrastructure instead of buying new private jets or yachts or w.e.

Mitt Romney: Nov 9, 2005; dumb and bad

Vox Nihili posted:

If Republicans had an iota of sense they'd just confirm Garland now and lock in a relatively moderate court. That's what they've got anyway with the 4-4 dealie.

The people in charge of the decision aren't up for any tough match-ups in 2016 and are playing for 2018 and future primaries. Not gonna happen.

If dem wins the WH then that means they flipped the senate too and they'll nuke the filibuster for scotus noms if they don't confirm the nominee then.

Mitt Romney: Nov 9, 2005; dumb and bad

Vox Nihili posted:

The alternative is keeping up the charade like Romney/Rove^10 until the final hours and then getting crushed regardless. Maybe they still hope to get around the Trump/Cruz thing and pick Kasich or something, but even with a very lukewarm Hillary it's really tough to imagine good odds for the GOP.

I think the GOP has a decent chance if they give Kasich the nomination. July-Nov is a long time to unify against a candidate they all hate.

In summary: Bernie can't elucidate on his own campaign platform, Hillary is way too cavalier about Israel killing a bunch of Palestinians, the winning campaign keeps trying to focus on Trump and the losing campaign doubled down on how they're totally going to win, also the moderators are terrible.

It was cute enough. I don't remember the original cartoon but my wife who does says it is mostly a remake of that. I kind of hate 3d movies though. I keep forgetting to take the glasses with me so I can make a pair of 2d glasses to wear. If you use two of the same polarity lens you can watch it without that weird headachey feeling that some get.

Wheeee: Mar 11, 2001; When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

the TV was turned to the debate for a few minutes before we fired up Netflix and everyone repeatedly commented on how Hillary was disgusting to listen to and fake as poo poo

on Bernie: not a very good speaker

condolences on your next President, :911:

I'll just play it straight:

If you think Missouri isn't in the south, you've clearly never driven through the Ozarks, and you've definitely never stopped for gas there.

MO feels just as racist as the south but slightly more polite about it. The trick is that people don't have the southern accent (depends where)

american voters would still probably have to learn who john kasich is and actually sit and listen to his boring rear end talk at some point though and that's a pretty steep hill to climb. plus kasich is actually significantly to the right of romney, mccain, w, etc. on lots of issues and is really only a "moderate" by comparison to the other republicans

also a convention ratfucking might cripple the republican party for a generation

giving up the presidency for four more years might actually seem like the safer choice to a lot of people
