I know you don't like getting caught up on the weeds, but the "regulators"

It must really suck going through life always wanting to blame somebody for something, just because you were not smart enough to think of it yourself. :nod:

We could always go back to the good old days of trading tulip bulbs in 17th-century Holland! Now, THAT was deregulation at its finest!

HST scares me less than DHS. Just sayin'. :twocents:

Can we all agree:
Nobody gets elected to the presidency of this country without bowing down to Wall Street and the Federal Reserve frauds

:nod:

There's is no future American president (Republican or Democrat) coming to the rescue regarding Wall Street or the Fed - It ain't happening
Q: Name something that offends Republicans?
