Here is the record of the vote in the House.
As you can see there, only 122 members of the U.S. House of Representatives voted against repealing this crucial protection of U.S. Taxpayers - this crucial provision to not extend to Wall Street's gambling casinos the federal insurance that was originally intended only for ultra-safe savings accounts and checking accounts. (That roll-call is where you will see Maxine Waters' floor-vote against the repeal-measure.) There were 292 "Aye" votes, including 222 Republicans, and 70 Democrats. There were only 122 "No" votes, including 3 Republicans, and 119 Democrats. (One of the 70 Democrats who voted to gut Section 716, and so, in effect, to hold the U.S. public again vulnerable to bailing out the Wall Street mega-banks if their gambles go bad, was congressperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the friend of Hillary Clinton that Barack Obama chose to head the Democratic National Committee; so, the corrupt Democratic Establishment were in league with virtually all Republicans on this. The only 3 clean Republicans here were: John Duncan of Tennessee, Walter Jones of N.C., and Thomas Massie of Kentucky.)
119 Democrats and 3 Republicans voted against extending federal insurance to Wall Street's casinos. 222 Republicans and 70 Democrats voted in favor of extending federal insurance to Wall Street's casinos.
No House vote in recent memory could be a clearer indication of the identities of the members of the House of Representatives who actually represent Wall Street, and of the members who represent the public that elected them.
Wall Street evidently owns 292 members of the U.S. House. Only 122 members are not owned by Wall Street.
It's something worth making note of. Apparently, at least 292 members of the U.S. House are corrupt - they are the ones whose owners are, clearly, the mega-financial institutions, who benefit from this taxpayer-funded gravy-train for the most elite category of gamblers. <unsnip
By the way, I believe that Peters was shoe-horned in by our DLC infested MDP.
