I hope the Reps screw up so bad in the next two years that we take over in the 2015 election (same year Dem blue states' elections are in the majority for Senate). Another post, but too complicated to worry your tired head about now.
The financial inequality between the 1% and us, and low-paying jobs will be spotlighted in 2015. Our worries are not about gains or losses on Wall Street.
The good news about the economy NOW actually hurts us, not helps Obama.
If Warren's speech is played and replayed it will help Dems who agree with her, but won't so much help Obama because he seems to have caved and selects Citigroup officials for cabinet positions. Wonder if TPP is a Citygroup prize that they will reward with lots of campaign donations.
People have to realize that all the goodies we get in this Monstrabill, will be eaten up. Payback time. That's were our real problem lies. Whom will the payback affect and to what degree? It's gonna be bad, I know it.
Next election's ours to lose. Only another quick financial crisis will help some of us, not all, only people like Warren, Sanders, Pelozzi, R-Sen. Vitter (he came out against citigroup) and others. The people in the House who are so proud of writing this bill will be slapped silly when the sun shines on that one line about "prohibition concerning derivatives. Somebody should find that line, post it, and we should be required to memorize.
Also, people hate war, but they hate living from paycheck to paycheck and doing without doctor's visits because they can't meet the deductibles. Lots of changes needed even to Obamacare.
Can't help you, friend. If you are depressed, you are a wise person, so at least that truth should make you feel better.
