    We would not be in this crappy insurance market if we had let AIG fail!

    Any bill named after the two architects of the system that failed is suspect int he first place.
    Talk about jail time – Dodd, one of Angelo’s BEST frineds, and Frank, a longtime advocate of the Community Reinvestment Act, should both be in jail, not enlisted as designers of a new system guaranteed to fail.
    The sooner the government gets out of the way, the better for all.

    This article sounds as though it’s written by Barney’s “friend”. Anything submitted by Frank or Dodd is suspect. Repeal all of it and start over. Then put Barney and Dodd in jail.

    I always was so floored that Todd and Frank – who, from all available evidence were the main cause of the real estate bust – were the ones put in charge of financial reforms. The utter gaul of those two to be in charge of anything, let alone financial reform, was the most appalling lack of wisdom and leadership I think I had ever seen. Hopefully, this new action being taken by this Congress with keep us from yet another liberal lead disaster.

    Dodd-Frank, funny who that acronym is the same as Dumb F*%@. Something like the Pres new slogan of Winning the Future or WTF, strange how that translates into “What the F*#@.

    These guys just can’t get it right.

    Ah, the Republicans work to regain control of anything that might control them. Just because something might help consumers doesn’t mean it’s wrong, you know. Ah, but you will be happy with the stock results and sit back and be fat and happy while 10% of the country is unemployed and can’t pay the premiums my agency tries to collect. Yes, thank you President Palin, for yet another “shot” at helpful legislation. Keep those guns loaded, and shoot at anything that doesn’t ageee with you. (see Arizona articles)

      UC, so you think new (over) regulation is a good thing. Well, look into Ms. Elizabeth Warren’s new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and see how much you like an agency that sets its own budget which is limited only by a % taken from the Fed Reserve. It is an agency beholden to no branch of government with a Harvard professor testing our her economic theories. In this case UC will stand for unintended consequences.
