Oh sweet, wallstreet defending wallstreet claiming it was inevitable while neocons laughed all the way to the bank. His "opinion" only proves there is one born every minute.

It was the perfect moment for a wily senator to game the system. As Congress and the White House were hurriedly hammering out a $384-billion omnibus spending bill, Gramm slipped in a 262-page measure called the Commodity Futures Modernization Act. Written with the help of financial industry lobbyists and cosponsored by Senator Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), the chairman of the agriculture committee, the measure had been considered dead—even by Gramm. Few lawmakers had either the opportunity or inclination to read the version of the bill Gramm inserted. "Nobody in either chamber had any knowledge of what was going on or what was in it," says a congressional aide familiar with the bill's history.

The guy removed depression-era safeguards, all for the love of his damn slave masters. This guy should be in prison, not protected in some closet neocons happy little group, Lyin' Ted's happy little future fleecing cartel. Ted's surrounding him with scum, and as they say birds of a feather flock together. This is why I've for the most part turned on him, having for a long time stating I'm waiting and watching them. I needed to see what they do and who they surrounded themselves with. Others just enjoy living on hope and excuses, but not me!
Not that Donald is perfect, haven't seen perfect in politics yet, but a damn lot better than the past couple they tried to run for the reps. I haven't voted for a Rep president since G.H Bush, but Donald could be the first one since then, and possibly a ton better than H as I just really didn't trust slick willy at all... or as he became to be known as.
Cruz is going down the same damn street as the rest of them have, yet just spinning hate as he does it so he goes unnoticed with what he's actually building here. Meanwhile his glassy eyed followers morph more into what looks like Sanders followers. Scary times, indeed.
