Warren says the obvious.



HBSC at its best ...I guess she couldn't mention them? Probably didn't need to.

I mean please give credit where it is due ...HBSC had to pay a huge fine because they were convicted of laundering drug money.

I guess the huge fine is just another way to make money from drugs. Wow.

Well at least we're not spending money to keep HBSC people in prison.

If you get fined, you still profit.

If you don't get fined, you profit more.

Who's going to miss a few cents every month on their checking account?
Or maybe they'll charge more for electronic transfers.

Bottom line: WE will end up paying for it.
Look up the Taum Sauk(MO) disaster and see what fines Ameren had to pay.
They raised the rates the next year.

The rich get punished(get richer) by screwing us.

8. The UCA will not allow that. That's why they've picked Hillary.

But....looks like we get Clinton Triangulator 2. That said I hope not, I hope Hillary is forced left and doesn't go all third way nonsense.

For the duration of the Primary season.

Then it's back to her love affair with Wall Street and WalMart.
