In reply to the discussion: The Scale of Wall Street’s Holdings Are ''Unprecedented in U.S. History'': Senate Report [View all]CrispyQ

I think it will again be timed for the Presidential electoral season, i.e. 2016. It won't much matter to them which party wins the White House, just as it didn't matter much for their purposes in 2008. The bailout had already been fashioned in meetings between the Bushies and the Obamites before the new Admin took office.
And neither party will be completely blamed, just like last time.
I will no longer vote for a party that promises social justice but turns it's back on economic justice. Economic injustice falls hardest on minorities and women, so how can they possibly claim they are for social justice when they don't care if we are secure economically.
