Hank Greenberg is drip slime. <---- My comment.

God bless Liz Warren. They're gonna kill her if she ever starts overturning The Game.

From Elizabeth Warren's Twitter Account just now.

Hank Greenberg left his company just before AIG took a $182 billion bailout from the Bush Administration…
Once his GOP friends left office, Greenberg sued the Obama Administration because – get this – the bailout wasn’t generous enough for him…
And now, Greenberg is giving $10 million of his AIG fortune to try to save Jeb Bush’s dying Presidential campaign. http://politi.co/1n8fDVW
Not sure what’s more disgusting: That Jeb is pinning his 2016 hopes on his bro’s bailout $, or that bailed-out CEOs want to buy elections.

Hank Greenberg is drip slime. <---- My comment.

If he is Jesus, it is fitting he'd try to take a water dog.

If you had actually read my posts (especially the ones where I directly tell you and Kepler I am not with Rover) you would not have come to that conclusion at all.

No sh !t you're not with my movement as your check bounced for the enrollment fee. No deadbeats here at Rover Nation....

Settle down, tiger. My impression was you were much closer to 50/50 based upon your posts, but if not then mea culpa on my end.

Re: 2nd Term Part X - A link to a fore gone conclusion

If yo can kindly find me where I said that I will mea culpa. Since I didnt, nor have I ever thought as such (I usually say 80/20 for the record) I wont go holding my breathe.

You still work for the lawless mafia. That we know for sure.

You'd think the pay would be better over here if that's the case....

I like this story because it summarizes income inequality in the way that I experience it, but in a way that's not often discussed.

While we wait for the dude, I did want to say the point of all this isn't "Kep is an idiot". My point is IMHO there have been quite a few changes in terms of financial regulation that you didn't seem to be aware of (the capital requirement for example). I think unofan was unaware of the frequency of stress testing as well. You two aren't dumb, you're just not in the thick of it. I'm hoping that the laws in place make you feel somewhat better about the actions taken since the crisis. Think of it this way, if Dodd-Frank is completely ineffectual, why not join with the Republicans in getting rid of it? I'm going to throw Scooby a lifeline here and mention that Warren is a proponent of the law before he agrees that we should scrap it since it hasn't changed anything.

Hey, I try to prove "Kep is an idiot" every day without anybody else's help.

I've already admitted that I don't have the expertise to judge on the merits between arguments that say the banks have paid for their transgressions and those that say they got off with a wrist slap. Likewise, I don't have the expertise to judge on the merits between arguments that say we're safe from too big to fail now and we can let the banks go under next time and those that say we're still being held hostage by the vampire squid. My opinion isn't worth anything on this, so I'm relying on others.

Actually, if you found something that gets him annoyed I'll be forever grateful. I've been trying to annoy him for 30 years and haven't hit it yet.

A very long piece detailing Obama's domestic policy achievements. The important thing, of course, is to cement and then extend these changes by continuing to hold the White House, which is why in the end liberals should and hopefully will turn out for Hillary.

Definitely sounds like he's going to bring a sober, reasoned analysis to all this after those comments. I await his reply....

Re: 2nd Term Part X - A link to a fore gone conclusion

My friend responded very briefly but hinted when he has time he'll hit it more analytically. His response is concise, at least:



He's typically more laconic than Spock, so I think we hit a nerve.
