If you don’t train that beast soon, he’s gonna eat a few million people’s 401Ks again. He’s already bigger than he was before, and he was already too big to fail before he got bigger.
Regulations eliminated by prior administrations need to be brought back. Our economy and the bank bail outs perpetrated while W & Crew were still in the White House prove that.
Regulation doesn’t have to kill the dragon, but the chain needs to go back on the ankle. In the case of those who ran the market the last couple decades maybe a little “neck brace” is in order.
I highly recommend the book, Devil Take the Hindmost; A History of Financial Speculation by Edward Chancellor.
Mark Twain said, “History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.” I’m not so sure. This book chronicles a pattern that repeats itself over and over again. It doesn’t even seem to take a generation for people to forget…10 years go by, and all the economists and ‘experts’ have forgotten, and the behavior repeats itself.
Frankly, given the number of US Congressmen the dragon has in its «vegetarian» arsenal, I doubt that Saint George (Glass-Steagall) stands a chance. The best government money can buy - under both corporate parties !…
@ CF: awww, but the dragon REALLY likes its onion munchies! Besides, all those troglodytes it has on its payroll have proven time and again that medicine is bad for dragons, and they must be left undisturbed (and fed) for the good of the entire fantasy realm.

C’mon, another ‘toon with no rightie comments!
Where are they?
Okay, I’ll fill in until they get here:
There’s no need for Obama socialist regulations. Big corporations, including those on Wall Street, will always do what’s best for the common citizen.

Yes, Neo, you didn’t get a chance to pump the idea of Viva the Military Dictatorship! May you be quicker next time.

Sooky Rottweiler says; Then stop feeding the dragon onions and garlic and give him some pepto-bismol. You’ll still have the dragon, but no fire.
