There is a theory, purely hypothetical and with little evidence, that a tightening of credit hurts businesses, which hurts banks. I admit this theory lacks the conspiracy element you require.
There is also history which shows that banks do very well when long term interest rates rise faster that short term. Banks are a very different animal. Especially ones which borrow from the Fed. And/ or, get to sell bonds for the Feds bonds... and / or the ones which own the regional federal reserve banks.
Tea Party Congressman Makes a Fool of Chris Matthews Over Shutdowns Under Former Boss Tip O'Neill Read more: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-s...s-matthews-concerning-shutdowns#ixzz2gKfXwhH2
The US Chamber of Commerce, representing business big and small... President & CEO of the American Bankers Association, representing banks big and small... A majority of the American public... All oppose the GOP's shutdown and debt ceiling brinksmanship. So who's left unmentioned that's also in on the conspiracy?
If the democraps would defund or delay Obamacare like the majority of tax payers want. There wouldn't be a shut down. Hence the democraps are just as much to blame, rectum.
come on in this day an age do you not understand all the organizations speak for those who fund them. is there any doubt big business and the banks want the govt to keep spending.... who do you thing buys off the "establishment" republicans who sell out their base every chance they get.
Why is it the GOP's shutdown? Reid has said no 4 times. Obama won't even negotiate. Why should the GOP be the only ones to give up everything? What happened to compromises?
Because "shutdown" pertains to government funding, and the only thing necessary for approving another year of government funding is a clean funding bill. Attacking (or supporting) Obamacare is no more necessary on a funding bill then revisions to the tariff treatment of Chinese tea is necessary on one.
