    LOL, admittedly 99% is most likely not acurate. :D

    That would be a good subject for a political scientist's dissertation.

    Once again, you are intellectual dishonest.

    Regarding Glass Steagal:
    The bill passed the democrat controlled the senate by a vote of 90-8. Bill Clinton, a democrat, signed the bill into law on November 12, 1999. Bill Clinton left office in January, 2001, 14 months later.

    And, Obama and the democrat controlled congress did not reinstate it, when they passed Dodd Frank.

    You can read the details here.

  6. While I am happy to see some bonus money being doled out to the workers, bonuses aren't to be a satisfactory substitute to hiring. I'll call this tax plan a success when there is broad based hiring across the board in all sectors. We need to see numbers approaching 400K on the monthly, and 150-200 of that needs to be in manufacturing and construction. If not, it's just a ruse.

    We're probably at historical unemployment lows already. Only way to add more jobs is to bring in immigrants.

    Volcker rule in Dodd Frank reinstated the Glass Steagal in a modern way, something Cons are trying to undo.

    When you have lost the debate, that is when you point out the typos.
