Jamie Dimon got his Xmas present: the repugs attached a couple of riders to the "CR Omnibus" spending bill.
One of them roles back Dodd/Frank, which forbid FDIC insured banks from speculating in "derivatives", which are the complex debt/betting swaps that plunged the World into the Bush depression, in '08. The changes were written by Citigroup. This means that the "masturbators of the universe" can snort cocaine and pretend they're geniuses, and anytime they fuck up we pick up the tab!!! Don't you wish you could gamble at the casino with THAT kind of quarantee?! They keep any winnings, taxpayers pick up the tab for their bad bets! Here comes another bank-bailout.
The other is a relaxation of campaign finance laws: now rich assholes can give $800,000 to the politician/whores of their chosing. 12 years ago, that limit was 2K.
Where is the outrage?
